Listen to the dialogue and answer, in ENGLISH, the questions that follow.

Silvia: Buongiorno

Franco: Buongiorno. Ha bisogno del mio aiuto?

Silvia: Sì grazie. Ho visto una borsa molto bella in vetrina.

Franco: Certo, è una borsa di Armani. Adesso la prendo. È questa?

Silvia: Sì, sì. Mi piace molto il colore, è molto naturale. Andrà molto bene con la mia nuova

giacca in pelle nera.

Franco: Giorgio Armani ha disegnato questo nuovo modello per la collezione inverno 2020. Ha

anche molte tasche dentro, ci si può mettere tante cose.

Silvia: È veramente bella, ma un po’ troppo grande per me.

Franco: Se desidera, prendo un modello più piccolo.

Silvia: Questa va meglio, è più facile da usare.

Franco: È adatta a mettere il portafoglio, un fazzoletto, le chiavi e il telefonino. Ha una tasca

interna, per tenere le monetine e la carta di credito.

Silvia: Questa ha le dimensioni che cercavo... Quanto costa? Sembra troppo cara per me...

Franco: Costa solo 500 euro!

Silvia: 500 euro! Questo mese ho già comprato troppi vestiti e scarpe...non mi posso

permettere di comprare anche una borsa da 500 euro.

Franco: Abbiamo anche il modello dell’anno scorso. Il modello vecchio costa meno: 350 euro,

anche questa è una borsa robusta ma di stile elegante.

Silvia: Per me anche questa costa troppo, ma forse torno domani con mia madre e visto che il

Natale è vicino, magari mi può fare un regalo!

Franco: Mi dispiace signorina, domani il negozio è chiuso, ma potete venire martedì.

Silvia: Perfetto, mamma martedì pomeriggio non lavora! Allora torniamo insieme martedì.

Franco: Arrivederci.



Listen to the text and answer, in ENGLISH, the questions that follow.

**Read by a female

Mi piacciono moltissimo le domeniche. Di solito, ogni domenica mattina mi alzo alle nove e come

ogni giorno, bevo subito un bicchiere d’acqua perchè tutti i miei amici dicono che fa bene alla

salute. Poi preparo un caffé espresso fortissimo e quando è pronto lo verso in una tazzina e mi

siedo in una bella poltrona comoda. Poi scelgo una rivista da leggere. Leggo mentre bevo il caffé.

Alle undici, circa, viene alla porta il mio gatto, Leo, perché ha fame e vuole mangiare. Allora, mi

alzo e vado ad aprirgli la porta. Di solito gli do un po’ di pesce fresco. Questo gli piace moltissimo.

Lo mangia in due minuti e poi si addormenta sul divano. Io, invece, salgo su in soffitta dove tengo

tutti i miei libri. Passo tutto il resto della mattina a leggere e scrivere.

All’una esco e vado ad incontrare la mia migliore amica per pranzo. Poi qualche volta andiamo

insieme a trovare i nostri genitori in un paese vicino. Altrimenti, se fa bel tempo, facciamo una

passeggiata al mare o in campagna. Di solito, la domenica sera, scegliamo un buon film da vedere

e andiamo al cinema.


Listen to the snippets of conversations and answer, in ENGLISH, the questions that follow.

**Reader to state the number of the snippet and pause before speaking the snippet. One male

reader for 3 snippets and one female reader for remaining 3 snippets.

1. Uno: Mi dispiace, ma non ci sono più stanze singole libere. Però abbiamo alcune stanze

doppie che potrebbero essere trasformate in stanze per famiglie.

2. Due: Buona sera signora. Vuole riempire questo modulo? La sua camera è al terzo piano,

numero 39. Nel frattempo chiederò al facchino di potare i bagagli alla Sua camera. A

proposito, la cena si serve dalle otto in poi.

3. Tre: La tariffa è di 60 euro per adulto. Metà tariffa per i bambini sotto i dodici anni se

condividono una camera con i genitori. Se no, devono pagare la tariffa intera.

4. Quattro: Mi dispiace ma l’albergo è completo, signore. Ci saranno forse stanze libere all’ostello

dall’altra parte della piazza. Conosco bene il padrone. Gli telefono per Lei?

5. Cinque: Purtroppo c’è solo una stanza doppia libera. È molto grande, però. Se necessario

potrei metterci altri due letti per i bambini.

6. Sei: Tutte le stanze hanno il bagno, ma per una stanza doppia con vista sulla costa c’è un

supplemento di 20 euro al giorno.



Listen to Alessandro talking about the “Istituto Vannucci” and answer, in ENGLISH, the questions

that follow.

**Read by a male

Ciao sono Alessandro. Ho sedici anni e frequento il liceo linguistico a Perugia. Faccio la terza.

Dopo la scuola media ho scelto questo liceo perchè mi piacevano le lingue. Alla fine dei miei studi

a quest’istituto, cioè dopo il quinto anno, vorrei trovare un posto di lavoro nel campo di turismo-

forse in un’agenzia viaggi. Ma non sono ancora sicuro. C’è anche la possibliltà di andare

all’università. Se mi laureo in lingue posso fare l’interprete o il traduttore.

Sono all’Istituto Vannucci dalle otto fino alle dodici e trentacinque. Poi vado a casa, mangio

qualcosa e faccio i miei compiti. Cerco di finire prima delle quattro e mezza perchè nel pomeriggio

mi piace fare una passeggiata con la mia ragazza per le vie della nostra città, e spesso ci

compriamo un gelato.

Le materie principali all’Istituto Vannucci sono l’inglese, il francese e il tedesco. Ma naturalmente

studiamo anche l’italiano, la matematica, la biologia, la storia e l’educazione fisica.

Il nostro professore d’inglese è il signor Beveridge. Viene da Londra in Inghilterra. Studiamo non

soltanto la lingua, ma anche la cultura dei paesi dove si parla inglese. L’inglese è la mia materia

preferita, ma è così difficile. Tutta quella grammatica, tutte quelle parole ed espressioni da

imparare...e la pronuncia!!! Perchè l’inglese non può essere facile come l’italiano?

Question 5

Read the passage and answer, in ENGLISH, the questions that follow, using the information from

the text.

Camminava lungo il viale senza fretta e senza destinazione, guardando la gente che passava con

vestiti colorati e chiari, le borse della spesa piene di buone cose appetitose. Anche le case gli

sembravano più allegre del solito, più alte, e i fiori alle finestre di un rosso più intenso. In cielo non

c’era nuvola, il sole splendeva sulle finestre aperte.

Lui si sentiva così: appena nato, leggero, innocente. Più che camminare, volava, e il cuore gli

batteva forte.

L’ha vista all’improvviso. Descriverla è difficile. Nessun’altro l’ha vista, a parte lui: lui solo ha

respirato l’odore di bosco che l’accompagnava.

Adesso se ci ripensa non gli sembra vero. È successo proprio a lui? A questo ripensa, e se ne sta seduto davanti alla porta di casa, sorride ai passanti e a tutti racconta la stessa storia.

Question 6

Read the passage and answer, in ENGLISH, the questions that follow, using the information from

the text.

Un’auto pensata per chi ha un cane

Questa macchina passerà probabilmente alla storia come la prima auto che rivoluziona come

trasportiamo i nostri cani.

Secondo un sondaggio dalla Gran Bretagna da The Kennel Club, la più importante associazione

animalista britannica, il 54% degli intervistati ha affermato di desiderare un’auto più accessibile

ai loro cani.

Abbiamo trovato che alcune idee sono molto utili, altre un po’ meno...

Bagagliaio in pelle di qualità - facilissimo da pulire e con una capacità di 445 litri:

fantastico. Con questa grandezza si possono trasportare facilmente due cani di taglia

media. Facilissimo da pulire, ma anche da distruggere.

Rampa: meraviglioso, senza alcun dubbio. È spesso difficile per un cane saltare dentro

un’auto alta, specialmente se anziano o con qualche problema di salute.

Doccia: ecco i primi dubbi. L’idea di lavare il cane dopo ogni passeggiata (con acqua e

sapone) è decisamente strana. Questo potrebbe servire una volta l’anno.

Pompa d’aria calda (per asciugare il cane): potrebbe essere molto utile dopo una

passeggiata sotto la pioggia.

Telecamere e mini-schermi: Nella Nissan X-Trail 4dogs c’è una telecamera che

permette all’autista di vedere cosa succede nel bagagliaio (assolutamente stupenda!).

Qualche volta si sentono “rumori sospetti” ma è difficile girarsi. Un altro schermo è invece

nel bagagliaio e permette al cane di vedere il suo umano. Quest’ultima sembra piuttosto

inutile.

CONCLUSIONI

La compreremmo? Probabilmente no. Con il prezzo di 25.000 euro, l’acquisto potrebbe essere

giustificato solo se ci interessa l’auto in sé, e non soltanto gli accessori dedicati ai cani. Brava

Nissan comunque!
