Per mercoledi due marzo duemila sedici

Learn by heart the due date for your comments.

Google these three Italian newspapers: La Stampa, Il Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica.

Learn to spell them correctly and also find out what they mean.

Find at least one article that mentions "gli Stati Uniti".  Try to figure out what the topic is (not very difficult): DO NOT USE A TRANSLATOR. Push your brain, stretch your imagination. See how many words you recognize in a couple of paragraphs.

You will find lots of stuff about politics, wars, etc.  If you can, find something a little lighter that tickles your curiousity.

COMMENT: copy the exact sentence where "gli Stati Uniti" appears and give us a brief summary of what you read (in English.)
Avoid repetition which means, do not double up on reading the same article someone else already introduced.

REPLY:  read your classmates findings, choose one article that goes in the direction of your interests and mention the reason of your choice (in inglese.)

Per mercoledi diciassette febbraio

Start paying attention to the language you speak listen read and write every day (English.)

Report here something odd, strange, curious, intriguing that you have come across. It could be a misspelled sign in a store (plenty of them around,) a weird expression you never heard before, or a new word that suddenly is popping up in the language.

Or, new foreign words that are entering English.

Sharpen your attention and curiosity. Ask questions about grammar, or your doubt how to say something.

Post JUST ONE ITEM.

I hope everyone will participate and that we can develop a repertoire of interesting facts and factoids about English.

Introduce yourself

Introduce yourself briefly to your classmates. Tell us something about yourself that is not a list of achievements or a job resume': tell us about your hobbies, your artsy inspiration or something we don't know about your community and the place where you live.

Then, after you finish, go to the first blog-compito.
