Royal Caribbean Garlic Soup Receipe

English test on April 18, 2009 (instructions)

Mi scuso in
anticipo per la lunghezza di questa mail che invio sia in versione inglese sia
in versione italiana

English version

Dear students,

attached you will find two texts with questions. Please read them and
try to answer   the questions.



  I remind you that the objective
of the "3° prova" is to understand a short text and answer the questions with
your own words as far as possible. In particular be careful to the following:



●         
Focus
on what   the question requests. Do not
wander off the subject



●         
If you
find it difficult to use different words, try to put the sentences in a
slightly different or simplier way. Do not use long sentences and do not repeat
the same things



●         
Pay
attention to grammatical aspects (verbs, pronouns, concordances, etc..)



●         
If you
know about the subject and you want to add a personal opinion about it, you
can, of course, express your idea but after answering to what the question asks



There is no deadline for this homework. You can use these texts to
practise for the “3 prova” and you can send it back to me whenever you want.



Since I would   like to review and
analyse the text “
Water: a
basic right
”   on Thursday 16 th April (after Easter Holidays), I ask you all (especially  the students who won't do the homework and send it back
to me) to come to the lesson having read this text so that you know what we are
going to talk about.



PS: Also I would like to know how you find Difficult These texts:
Very Difficult / Difficult quite / not very Difficult / easy. Thank you



Regards





version Italian



find attached two texts with three questions each.
I ask you to read and try to answer questions and remember, that the objective
the third round, with regard to the foreign language is that of a short text
understanding and production of written responses
when possible using words contained in the text (ie a minimum of reworking
staff). In particular, you must be careful:



●
center
the request of the application and not disperse and deviate from the topic



●

not use excessively long sentences with too many subordinate clauses, the English will not tolerate a
sentence structure as the Italian one. Better, then, break the
phrase, put some more points, start again and remember to always enter a subject
. "Responding using his own words as far as possible" does not
say that you are forced to find all the synonyms for words used in the text.
Sometimes while using two words of the text (because it is uncertain
taken as synonymous, since the dictionary can give you 10 different
depending on the context) you could rearrange the phrase in a different and more
simple. (This is also reworking staff)



●
Pay attention to the aspects
gtrammaticali (verbs, tenses, pronouns, etc. ..
concordance)



●
to the target text
If you have ideas and want to express a personal opinion
you can do it naturally, but only after answering
what is required, then not only personal opinion, unless there
is the precise question "What do you think of ...?" or" What is your idea about
...?". All within the lines granted.



I do not give a deadline for this task. You can send it when you want
and I hope that you will use these texts as practical training for the simulation
third test. Since I want to see with you
the song "Water: a basic right" Thursday, April 16th, I ask everyone (especially those
that I will send the task) to get to class with the text and read for
avandolo idea of \u200b\u200bthe topic.



PS: I would also like to have your opinion on the degree of difficulty of
understanding.

Good job
