The Tales of Two Cities and Angela Franklin

 

Good morning, afternoon evening,

 

this is graded homework  for different students. If ex-beginner or false beginners, complete the interview with Angela Franklin.

If you want to echo Charles Dickens, read about Joss and Claire with their cities.

Come to class ready to speak about them, do the exercises, compare their lives with someone's you know in a comment, pay attention to formal correctness.

Enjoy your English, see you in class, continue writing on our What's App group.  

And here, just two photos of you in class.

Thank you Alberto for your comment.
Do not forget that punctuation is important in defining a few criteria for writing. After period you need a capital letter, as for people's names and I subject pronoun. Continue writing!

Giancarlo: 5, I subject pronoun capital letter; 6, Which is  your husband's name? 8,9,10,13, Doi you have etc, Yes I do in the answer, since to have is a full verb like any othey using the auxiliary, and these are yes/no questions with short answer. Of course you can do differently if you want to reply with more information, this is the essential to be formally correct. 14, What do you like doing in ytour free time?  Remember capital letters at the beginning of a sentence. 

Giada: 3, I'm from, no other prepositions.

Very good work, continue both in class and here!

Stuart, Julie: thank you for appreciating our work. Continue writing and posting comments!

Madden Mobile Review: Continue to follow us, we are about to start new initiatives, e.g. welcoming Mediterreanean cruise passengers in the open air to practice English and performing a matinée for them at the railway station with very talented pupils. Very soon a page with them.

Best Friends

'Morning, Afternoon, 'Evening, 

Benedetta, Ilaria, Christian, Filippo, Matteo, Robin, Vincenzo, 

this is homework for you before our next class and for whoever wants to practice their English at elementary level.

Write short sentences, subject, verb, complement, and present your best friend. When in class, your mates will ask you about him/her. Is that fine?  Use the page from the text book as a guide to reply to questions and write your text. 

There are so many songs about friendship, this one I invite you to listen to and sing is called You've Got a Friend, and connects generations  - that is you and me - as you can see looking at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHhjKQ8L_iU.

We'll sing it in class, after studying the text. I'm expecting you to come to class ready to speak and interact with your mates! See you there

Benedetta: you're doing very well at school, feeling so committed to the task of practicing English we encourage with activities. Continue working so to consolidate the language and get all the possible occasions to practice it. 

Vincenzo: English is a language you can acquire the way you did with Italian. Patience, practice, interest, motivation and commitment. You've got the right approach, continue this way, thinking a little more before writing and speaking so to avoid mistakes and build your own phrases to convey what you wish.

Dante

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

a very important English translation of the Divine Comedy is the one by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882), an American poet, author of classics like Evangeline.

After the tragic death of his wife, who died of burns due to a domestic accident, Longfellow sought solace in translating into English Dante's masterpiece.

A significant coincidence with the painful authobiographical circumstances Luzzi speaks about in this interview.

Here you have a few questions about the article you can reply to as English practice.

1. Is Joseph Luzzi an American or Italian author and teacher?

2. The book he wrote was recently published in Italy or in the US?

3. Does he believe that Dante in the US is videly or rarely read outside of an academic context?

4. In the interview, does he say that modern or medieval Tuscan is very precise and musical?

5. Did he first discover dante or Shakespeare while in Italy?

6. Where did his illiterate uncle quoted Dante's Divina Commedia?

7. Is Dark Wood the title of one of his lectures or books?

8. What does the selva oscura refer to, in Luzzi's opinion?

9. According to Luzzi, which one between the Divine Comedy and De Vulgari Eloquentia is about landing in crisis and finding your way out? 

 

Liliana: thank you for your comment. So nice reading about your experience. Dante is one of the pillars we can bear on all the times we need to understand the human nature, the way only classics can let it happen. 

Also I remember illiterate elderly people capable of quoting entire passages from classic authors. Also their lives and constant advice were inspired by classics, since everybody knew about them, either they had had the chance to go to school or not. Just and wise people, our ancestors. What about us? 

See you in class,

After Eight

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

this is an  easy article about a nice subject: the very well known After Eight chocolate mints.

Also the Elementary Students can reply correcting these sentences as a comment. Choose a few of them with the aim of practicing formally correct English.

First say no and what's wrong, then write what's right. Very short sentences, subject, verb, complement.

1. After Eight is the name of a famous milk chocolate.

2. It's an afternoon chocolate dessert.

3. Most British people have finished dinner by 7 o'clock.

4. In a box of After Eight you will find individual round slices of dark chocolate.

5. The ads for Efter Eight emphasize the idea of an ordinary product.

6. After Eight was invented by Nestlé in 1962.

7. Rowntree has also developed more exclusive products such as Kit Kat and Smarties.

8. Melted After Eight make a freat topping for successful cakes.

 

Do you know any other famous chocolates useful to practice English? Why?

 

Eleonora: After Eight capital letter; of the advertisements. 

 

See you in class

An Adventure Story

Good morning, afternoon, evening Camilla, Greg, Gabriel and families,

 

these are the first pages of the adventure book our young pupils are reading, from last to first page. 

As homework for all of you and whoever wants to participate, here's the beginning of a parallel story we decided to invent to see where it may lead.

Don't forget, what works with children works with adults too! Also Prof. Simon Sweeney from the University of Leeds says that. 

Then the children started their adventure story:

 

"Camilla, Greg and Gabriel are sitting around the table in Gabriel's kitchen.

Suddenly the clock on the wall stops; then the hands run faster than before and they break the glass to start running on the table.

"We are tired of turning, we do not want to continue!".

To start the time again they have to be replaced and ....................."

 

How would you continue the story? Bear in mind it is an adventure!

Adults can contribute to children's work with their ideas.

And you, children, everybody is waiting for your story to read!

We are also continuing the story with Jill and Ahmed, of course. 

 

See you all next week,

Danka's Letter

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

 

this is the page for the Elementary groups that we started studying in class and we didn't have time to complete.

Please for next time read it carefully and write a similar letter to someone you know, speaking about your class.

Divide your writing into paragraphs and make them correspond to Danka's letter.

It will be easier for you to be formally correct. Then read it aloud and start telling it without reading any more.

As far as we are elementary students, it's much better to follow patterns, and Danka is exactly like us, a student of English as a second language; her English is perfect.

Do the same to become familiar with the language and develop your writing skill time after time so to consolidate your competence and have the capability of reemploying it also orally. 

Ask any questions you may need and upload your letter as a comment.

We will reply.

See you in class to continue working together

These days I'm going around with copies of the "Squirrel" mentioned below, in my car, in case there's someone who wants to support our NPO and its projects, offering the book as a present to a friend or anyone else.

Anna

Massimiliano: very good job! in a class, singular; thirty students; they are all Italian; I live with my wife in Cecina.

Francesca: very good email! English and all nationalities need capital letter; at UP, no article; psychologist then punctuation; safety, I, subject pronoun, always capital letter. 

Gianluca: very nice letter! Nationalities with capital letter; at Università Popolare, capital letters, no translation; Silvana is a ...Safety technician; Francesca has a cat, his/its name's; remember punctuation, including commas.

Annapia: my suggestion to everybody is to follow a pattern, i.e. Danka's letter above, for an English-style writing. You can adapt the pattern to your situation.

Christmas holidays plural, they pronoun, aren't going well.  

Rest/stay calm, live peacefully; is this fine to express your ideas?

It won't last forever. These ideas are too difficult at our level, use present simple and focus on formal correctness and accuracy.

I can't understand this last line, I present etc. The tense should be present continuous, we haven't studied it yet. 

Soon, adverb, not son noun; greeting etc is a translation from Italian, but it is not English. Have a look at Danka's letter again. 

When speaking and writing at elementary level, you should be like English people at that level. Use your elementary English studied so far to be like them. 

Fabio: I'm writing, present continuous, a tense we haven't studied yet. Danka writes, here  is an email etc; because; my English isn't enough, refers to quantity; you can say my English isn't good enough, referring to quality; she's very nice and a very good teacher, using the indefinite article for countable nouns; small; greeting dear embrace, have a look at what I wrote to Annapia; use simple English expression to close an informal email.

Silvana: UP no article; he is plus indefinite article for a countable noun; after exciting, punctuation; some restaurants are expensive; walking.  Good job!

Pina: very well done! Continue, choosing another page on the blog and writing other comments!

Nicola: very nice email! Except for a few/very few; he works for a computer company that makes...; Cecina is a small town. 

Annapia: I heard you are not feeling well; your daughter will care well; I will tell the teacher and the class about you. Best wishes to recover soon to Maria Grazia then, by all of us!

Vincenzo: you've done a very great job, Vincenzo, the same you're doing in class. Continue practicing, paying attention to any single detail, and I'm sure you won't have problems any more with your English very soon! 

Do not forget, nationalities need capital letter, then Italian; she is no apostrophe, or contracted, she's; because I am not very good at.... speaking, performing, English, or my English isn't very good. I wouldn't say that, continue choosing another page and upload your comment replying to the questions.

 

See you in class!

Cambridge English First

 

 

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

 

this is a page for those students who have to prepare the First, the level B2 examination developed by Cambridge English Language Assessment, part of the University of Cambridge. 

To spend on targeted purposes the time between classes, we selected a page from the teachers' handbook to practice writing. 

The assessment scales consist of four subscales, namely

Content, how well the candidate has fulfilled the task;

Communicative Achievement, how appropriate the writing is for the task and whether the candidate has used the appropriate register;

Organization, the way the candidate puts together the piece of writing, that is to say if it is logical and ordered;

and Language, vocabulary and grammar. 

Write your essay and answers here as a comment to let us read them before our next meeting.

When in class, we'll compare your written productions with the ones in the handbook, reading the examiners' comments.

There is also an article from Speak Up, the magazine for students of English we hope can meet your interest.

This is written comprehension, reading, before listening to the English speaker in class reading it. We'll talk about the main points.

See you in class then,

Anna - Coordinator

I met, past simple, but I didn't know her yet?

4. Giving simple information: she was in ih the third year at university

5. Our friendship

 

Test B.

1. On plus date. Why choosing last?

2. The professors Definite article here, those ones not in general.

3. In which .... go plus to, believe plus object.

See you in class,

The Gingerbread Man

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

this is English practice for everybody, including beginner students, making buiscuits too.

It is a page for families, children and adults to have fun together.

Never forget that what works with children works with adults too!

 

First: if you do not know the story of the Gingerbread Man, find it on the Internet and listen to it watching the videos. There are American and British versions. Then remember it.

Second: write it down as a comment using only present simple, subject, verb, complement, and come to class ready to say it with your mates.

Third: read the recipe to make a Gingerbread Man.

Fourth: make your Gingerbread Man very expressive the size you like, deciding the best position of its head, arms, hands, legs, feet.

 

In class we'll paint it with chocolate, according to each one's fantasy, and the best buiscuit will win a prize. 

 

We will decide together when coming to class with all our buiscuits. We will take a photo of all of them, when painted.

Have a look also at page 3 article number 8 about chocolate, a very interesting subject.

See you in class, enjoy your English!

Eleonora: information singular, an old woman prepared, her husband, when she baked it object pronoun, the gingerbread man (it subject pronoun), jumped.  

As you can see from these photographs, everybody, children and adults, enjoyed themselves painting the Gingerbread Men with chocolate and eating them.

In the class for adults, two painters are decorating the biscuits, while in the one with children, Gabriele and Camilla, both nine, are  doing an excellent work with the well shaped, little biscuits baked by Camilla's mother.

Thank you all for your contribution and never forget that the more you behave a language, the more real it is and becomes yours, one more identity to be added to the one/s you already have.

Annapia: finally you did it!

Francesco: is it? 

See you in class, Anna

Shop now: thank you, unfortunately we can't meet in class, you could be helpful. Anna

The Animal Inside

Good morning, afternoon, evening,  

this is a new page for all the students who are coming to class next week. 

Have you ever thought to resemble some wild animals?

Is there a wild animal whose characteristics you like for any special reason? 


Here there are a few exercises for you to do, replying as a comment, paying great attention to formal correctness and accuracy:

Which animal

1 is very clean?

2 likes people who give it food? 

3 likes to look good?

4 doesn't live in Britain now?

5 likes to live in a big group?

6 can't remember where its food is?

Continuing talking about the animals in the article,

1 Which of their features are positive and which are negative?

2 Which lifestyle attracts you most? Why?

3 Talk about your family and your friends. Which animal are they like?

 

Compare this page with the one about "Wolves and a richer life", going to page 4, article 11.

Let's talk about all possible wild animals your mates resemble according to you, see you in class

Anna - Coordinator

Vincenzo: so unexpected finding out what animal you think you resemble. I will better ask you in class. 

I subject, capital letter. Correct short answer, Yes I have. Before a vowel the article a becomes an. Because it has, it is the pronoun for animals, unless they are domestic animal. In this case, if you think you are like an elephant, the pronoun could exceptionally be he. The Owl has a good  eyesight. Britain capital letter. But it did in the 1800s. The wolf likes living in a big group (in this case the group is called pack). The fox lifestyle  attracts me because it lives in small families.

Vincenzo, I dare say you worked quite well, thinking a lot, and writing very interesting comments. Continue your job. The more you practice choosing what you like doing,  the better your writing and speaking skills will be. 

The animal inside: thank you for this very interesting comment! I read the book many years ago. Plural of woman is women, who read, found. Punctuation helps the reader, after woman, period. She has the same character as, third person simple present with s, Jungian analyst, how women period. In "Women who etc" since it is the title of a book.

Taste Archaeology

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

 

archaeology is within us as a great resource to explore.

If we don't know what happened before us we can't know what we are.

Food too is included, we are what we eat, aren't we?

The more we know about food, the more we know about ourselves.

What is your favourite dish?

How often do you have guests at home to share meals with?

What is a successful menu of yours?

This book - we translated - is about Romans' empire, civilization, culture, society and cookery.

Interesting texts, beautiful pictures, delicious recipes, elegant design. 

Be curious, find it on the Internet and study it, then offer your guests unusual recipes.

The two ones you find here and you can try are a possibility to create a connection between you and a people who influenced also British developement. So many remains are in the language too. 

Can you think of Latin in the English language?

How many samples do you know? 

Why don't you write them down here with your comment?


Thank you for contributing to our "language excavations" in addition to the gastronomic ones you can read about on the book.

See you in class, enjoy your English

American English




Good morning. afternoon, evening, 

 

how do you pronounce the word privacy, so common in Italian too?

Quite likely the procunciation you adopted, like the majority of people, is the American one.

 

There are many differences between British and American English, and many more if you consider English spoken by Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians etc. 

What's intriguing is developing strategies to become familiar with as many accents as possible.

Suggestions? Watch films with no dubbing, and appreciate English spoken by actors with their many different accents and beautiful voices, read books, enjoy them with friends, your children and become aware of your progress, time after time. Write down notes, compare impressions and ideas, let the language do its work, that is to open your mind and your heart while you have to do the same. Come to our classes. 

Choose films and books that you like and love what you do. Create a bond with English and find time to practice it with other students and native speakers, travel. 

Having a perfect pronunciation might not be the point, but what's fundamental is understanding when people speak to establish a proper interaction, communication, and in order to achieve this abjective you need to train yourself, the same you do when practicing a sport. 

What is your experience with English? Are you better at performing one of the five skills?

The five skills involved in acquiring a language are aural comprehension, ie listening, written comprehension, ie reading, oral production, ie speaking, and written production, ie writing, plus interacting with English speakers. 

The more you do something, the better the results are. So, come to class and practice English that like any other language is action, behaviour, motivation, feelings, beliefs...

What else is a language?  

If you are a false beginner in your studies, build up short sentences with just subject, verb, complement. Do not worry about mistakes, making them ias a way to learn.     

See you in class, 

Anna - Coordinator

Source: Speak Up October 2015 

 

Stefania: try to find by yourself which mistakes you can avoid making next time; have a look at a possible simple version of your ideas:

I studied English when I was at school 50 years ago.

My teacher used to teach/taught us grammar (no passive form) without practicing conversation.

I would like to develop the skills of listening comprehension and interaction with English speakers.

I hope that despite my mistakes I will be able to learn.

Of course you will, Stefania. Interest helps to convey appropriately attention to formal correctness and accuracy.

See you in class,

Anna

Where are vthey? Have you ever been there? What do you usually do when you go to festivals in the open air? 

In just two days this "Fiesta", or festival is going to start in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Is there anyone who has ever been there?

What are the most spectacular activities?

How can you describe them?

Welcoming Mediterranean Cruise Passengers

 

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

after enjoying working in class for four weeks, we met Mediterranean cruise passengers "In the open air", that is the square in the city centre where the shuttles from the port leave cruisers before they set out on their trips to visit Tuscan cities. 

Livorno is one of the calls in the Mediterranean Sea for people who come from all over the world - Canada, the States, Australia, New Zealand, all Europe, Japan, China, India -  to spend a few weeks on board of beautiful ships and want to visit the countries overlooking the sea.

 

It was such a great occasion for students to practice the language, to exchange ideas with people generous of their English and who appreciated our "beautiful program", that's what they said.

To continue practicing, upload a comment about the morning with cruisers or the whole Summer course and keep in touch with your mates. 

 

How did the course help your English? If so, why did you find it useful?  What did you like most? 

Activities, dialogues, oral and written onto papers on the walls, stories built following pictures cut from magazines, written and narrated to win a prize. English books to continue  the experience and improve the language.

All students had a permission signed by their parents for being photographed and for the photos to be published coherently with the aims of the English training course. 

Thank you all for participating, it has been great working together!  

Anna - Coordinator

 

Thank you Giuliano for your comment.

Each one of us should feel part of this little planet we live on and protect it, that means caring for the past, present and future. The Mediterranean is this magnificent common sea - Mare Nostrum - that gave all of us living around it the same identity, we all belong to this common "land" that produced unforgettable history, culture, art, civilization to be shared and spread. All the times someone interrupts this flow everybody should ask themselves why, what has gone wrong, since there are so many responsabilities, and each one of us might not be excluded from having some.

Continue writing about your journeys around the world, it is a great pleasure reading.

Thanks once more Giuliano, for one more comment. Each one of us is a mine of feelings, a special lens to read the reality. All the times we feel anger, hatred, we should wonder why and find the answer. By the time we have the answer, our feelings would change, would be more mature, productive and useful.

Destroying the remains of ancient cities means to cut the threads that keep us linked to the deepness inside ourselves. On the contrary, we all need them to understand which places we belong and continue the very long walking each one of us can contribute to, in order to leave something to those who'll come after us.

We are developing projects about the Mediterranean, considering it a conmon area shared by so many different peoples with their different cultures, languages, behaviours, that are still in time to know each other and design a common humanism for a future to share.

Anna  

These two photos are from the news broadcasted on 4 August 2015 by Granducato TV,  whose journalist asking perfect questions to both Mediterranean cruise passengers and students, is now - June 2019 after the administrative elections of May 26 - the Mayor of Livorno. 

We invited him to visit once more our open labs, we wish he will. We'll let you know.

Appearance and personality, Emotions and relationships

Good morning, afternoon, evening everybody!

 

These are topics to talk about in class, to make our Summer English fresh and dynamic. 

What's more important to you comparing appearance and personality? 

What is your appearance? And your personality?

Can you describe a friend's ones? 

 

Try to guess what personality your mates in class have and ask them to do the same with you.

 

Do you have different personalities?

Can you think of yourself as an adult? What would you like to be like?

 

Tell your mates and guess what they are going to be like.

 

 

See you in class and "In the Open Air"!

Thank you Claudia for your comment.

Do not forget that people is plural, a collective noun. When with s means for example European peoples, meaning the French, the Italian, the German etc. ones.

Continue being determined and serious, we do appreciate so much seriousness and determination. 

See you in class, Anna
