- PLIDA C1 Sto pensando di fare l'esame di C1 del PLIDA (italiano) a giugno. Qualcuno sa dove trovare diversi esami di prova? Vorrei provare a fare tanti esempi d'esame come possibile, prima di andare a far l'esame vero e proprio. Ho trovato un paio nel sito ufficiale del plida, e anche ho presso un libro dalla bibblioteca ("Quaderni del plida"). In totale ho soltanto 4 esami, ma vorrei avere alcuni più. Qualcuno mi potessi aiutare? Grazie!!April 6, 201930

April 5, 201900 Un chiste
Una maestra le pregunta a su clase, "Si hay tres cuervos sentados en una valla y disparas y matas uno, ¿cuántos están restantes?" (¿cuántos quedan?)
Un chico descarado levanta la mano y dice, "No queda ninguno porque los dos vivos van a volar al oír el disparo." (quizás sea más natural decir "saldrían volando" o "volarían", pero lo que has escrito también está bien).
La maestra responde que no (,) porque la respuesta correcta es 2 restantes, y añade "pero me gusta tu forma de pensar." (yo pondría esa coma después del "no", porque de otra manera puede interpretarse la frase de un modo diferente. Parece que va a decir: "no porque x, puede pasar y", dando la sensación de que le falta la segunda parte (puede pasar Y), "no porque llueva ha de mojarse el suelo", por ejemplo. Si pones la coma despues del "no" queda claro que el "porque" introduce una explicación de por qué no).
El chico dice, "Profesora, ¿le puedo presentar un problema parecido?"
"Por supuesto," dice la maestra.
El chico sigue, "Si dos mujeres están andando en la calle con cucuruchos de helado en las manos, y una de ellas está mordiendo y masticando su helado, y la otra está lamiendo y chupando el suyo, ¿cuál de las dos está casada?"
"Creo que es la que está lamiendo y chupando," replica la profesora, roja como un tomate.
"No," responde el chico, "es la que lleva el anillo de bodas... pero me gusta su forma de pensar."0 votedOctober 6, 20151Mi escribiendo Mi escrito

Reescribo el texto entero:
Mi escrito:
Hoy me gustaría escribir en español, pero no sé sobre qué escribir. Necesito escribir todos los días porque voy a viajar a México en septiembre. Me gustaría tener fluidez en español para septiembre. ¿Cuál es la mejor manera para adquirir fluidez rápidamente? Necesito consejos de la comunidad de lengua sobre cómo hacer que esto ocurra más rápido. ¡Gracias!
Algunos consejos:
- En español no necesitamos escribir el sujeto, si dices "necesito" se sabe que es la primera persona, no hace falta poner Yo.- por que = why // porque = because (you meant because, didn't you?)
- En ocasiones, en español usamos el presente continuo para expresar futuro ("estoy viajando a México en septiembre"), pero no es muy normal y suena un poco raro. Es mejor "voy a viajar a México" (recuerda que viajas a un lugar)
- En español no se dice "ser" fluído, sino "tener" fluidez (una cualidad que puedes obtener)
- cómo = how / como = like
God job! :)
0 votedSeptember 9, 20150- IELTS Writing task 2: nuclear power In the last years there has been an intense debate about nuclear power and its possible advantages. In this essay I am going to consider the potential benefits and downsides of this type of energy in order to give a reasoned argument to the mentioned debate. Two main usages of nuclear power must be considered in this essay. The first one regards nuclear power as a source of energy. It is an usual fact that goverments and energy companies are increasing their usage of nuclear methods, claiming that it is a cheap and clean way to obtain energy to supply the society. I would not deny that it is cheaper than other sources, but I would question whether it is actually cleaner. I seriously doubt about the idea of nuclear power as an eco-friendly source, since not only are different specialists claiming the opposite, also there is a big quantity of protests organized by ecologists against nuclear power. The second usage that we should consider here has to do with the widespread idea of nuclear weapons as a threat that helps to maintain thhe peace between countries. I strongly believe that this idea is wrong. Probably, if nuclear power had not been invented we would not be thinking in maintaining world peace. In addition, I think that a state of peace that is maintained under a threat is not a real state of peace, but an underlying or undercover state of war. World peace is a goal that must be achieved by democratic dialogues between countries, and not with the threat of a possible war that is about to break out in any moment. To conclude, nuclear power it is questioned in all its usages and we should provide ourselves,a s a society, with international laws to regulate the possible danger of using it as a source of energy, and to definitely prohibe the creation of nuclear weapong, whi is the real trigger that could awake the armies of the world.August 25, 201530
- ietls writing task 1 This is an attempt to complete IELTS writing task 1. I was given a graph, and here they are my comments: The given line graph illustrates how the numer of elderly people has evolved in Japan, Sweden and USA throughout the period from 1940 to 2040. Overall, there has been a general rise in the elder population, but while Sweden and USA presents a gradual trend upward, the Japanese percentage has gone up incredibly fast in the later years. In 1940 all countries showed similar quantities of elderly people intheir population. Japan, with its 5%, and USA with its 9%, presented the biggest difference. Since then USA and Sweden has evolved similarly. They elder people percentage grew gradually, with USA keeping a slightly superior number until 1980, when its percentage levelled off, being overtaken by Sweeden in 2000. American percentage started to grow again in 2020, but they never outnumered Sweden again, that finished the period wit a figure of elder people just over 25% (against the American 23%). Japan, instead, suffered a dip after 1940, and carried on falling until the late 80's, when their percentage of elder population resumed its growth. In 2030, this percentage grew substantially fast, overtaking all the other countries and reaching a peak of 27% in 2040.August 21, 201500
ayer, fui a ver a mi amigo. No nos vemos hemos visto mucho por unos años porque trabaja fuera. Estuvo bueno bien (No sé si lo que está bien es tu amigo o la situación de volver a encontrarlo. "Estuvo bien"= la situación/ "Está bien"= mi amigo). Tocamos música y bebimos café. Estuvo bueno bien.
Anoche fui a un ensayo musico de música para una actuación en el sabado por la mañana (suena mejor: para una actuación que tenemos el sábado por la mañana) Estará bueno bien, espero! (Si quieres decir que lo haréis bien en la actuación, lo más común es decir: ¡Saldrá bien, espero!)
También anoche yo bebí unas cañas con un otro amigo. Estuvo bueno bien.
La El tiempo passado pasado es muy dificile difícil... pensé que supe sabía cómo conjugado conjugarlo pero necesito buscar para todos los tiempos pasados!No olvides que después de un . siempre se escribe mayúscula.
También debes tener cuidado con la diferencia bueno/bien: http://www.italki.com/question/1514650 votedAugust 21, 20150- universities' function The question about what function the universities should accomplish is a current debat ardous to solve. Two main claims have been done by two different groups, those who think that universities should provide students with the knowledge required by the work world, and those whose opinion is that universities should give valuated knowledge, whther is valid or not in their future working life. In this essay I will claim that both positions count with good reasons and that universities should not limit themselves to an unique function. Firstly, it seems obvious that students need to acquire useful knowledge for their future jobs. Nowadays workplaces, in general, are requiring more and more specifi and specialized skills and notions, and universities are the most adequate place to acquire them, since the years and the experience they have been doing so. Furthermore, the dialogue between companies (and others job providers, as the State for example) and universities should be focused on how to work together in order to provide qualified workers to our society. Secondly, it is true that a huge range of disciplines would lose importance if the only function of universities were the commented above. Philosophy, arts, drama for instance, and other degrees which have not a direct relation with the posts needed by the current global economy, would disappear unless we understand thier own value, independently of the needs of capitalism. Universities must be the place to preserve these endangered disciplines. Therefore, both claims are partly right, and universities should incorporate more than a function. From my point of view, another very important role that these institutions should accomplish is researching. All disciplines need to be developed in order to give answers to the huge variety of problems that our world and our century is offering to us.August 19, 201530
- IELTS listening test, tips.
Hello everyone.
I've been reading some tips about how to do a good listening test on IELTS, and one of the advices is the following:
Use a minute to look through each section – you are given 30 seconds at the end of each section to check your answers. You are then told to turn over and look at the next section for 30 seconds. Although some IELTS listening tips will tell you to check what you have written, there is little you can check for the previous section as you can’t hear the listening again. So instead, turn straight to the next section. You will then have one minute (instead of 30 seconds) to look through the next section. This is time better spent.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I mean, Wouldn't you be penalized if you do it? I found this advice really helpful because always in the last part I run out of time and can't read all the questions before the recording starts. So if it's possible to do what the advice says I would feel relieved!
Is anyone taking IELTS soon?
