Hello everybody!
Thank you for working hard during the listening of 'White Wine in the Sun' by the Australian comedian, Tim Minchin.
Please do go over the worksheets that we did in class and check your answers by finding the relevant information to support your responses and check your understanding.
As mentioned in class, do learn all the new vocabulary and notice how they relate to Italian.
To follow, the worthy cause to which Tim contributed by working with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. It is a very moving clip; so, please prepare for tears.
The Fading Symphony - Tim Minchin and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra
During the Christmas holidays, please revise all that we have covered so far and write 250 words on the topic that excites or interests you most. It can be anything, from your favourite sports and how you feel when you practise or train, to your most ambitious travel destination, to your most loved TV programme, singer, actor etc.
Enjoy your time!
Gabriella

Well done for your hard work and dedication, everyone! I am certain the progress test will be a success and a good reward for the time you invested in your learning.
I did ask about the reason why you cannot comment on the blog and was told that only those with a Google account can write comments :-( Please try one more time, just for me, however!
At least you can read it, though! Please do get a gmail account, if you can.
REMEMBER
Please complete the following questionnaire as we want to know what you think of our services so far so that we can improve for you as you're very important to us.
