Hi, my name is Lettie and I'm currently in my third and last year studying English Literature at Durham University. I am planning to travel around Italy next year and since I've always wanted to learn Italian anyway, I hope to learn as much as I can before then. I've previously studied French and received an A* at iGCSE, but despite 'studying' it for 7 years, I can barely speak it conversationally. The way languages are taught in schools in the UK is (in my opinion) extremely ineffective. I only received such a good grade as our teacher literally taught us which phrases etc. to use in the exam to get marks! I think the best way to learn to speak a language must be actually speaking it, and so am looking for a tutor to help me learn Italian, for about 2 hours a week (potentially more depending on how my budget goes!) Alongside this, I am planning to do a 20 week course in Italian at a local college.

Another interesting lesson with Lettie correcting her introduction and then talking about WH questions. Can't wait to have another lesson with her!

Lettie was so kind. She asks a lot of questions in order to improve her skills. She seems really interested in learning Italian. I hope I was useful for her and that we will have another lesson soon!

This was Lettie's first lesson - and she did a great job! She is highly motivated and I am sure she will go a long way with learning Italian. *Brava Lettie! E' stato un piacere conoscerti! (=It's been a pleasure knowing you)*

    A mail of complaint ( it is a writing exam of B1)

    Dear Sir,

    I'm writing to complain about your online delivery service which failed to deliver a bouquet of roses.
    Last week I called you because I had heard that you were pretty good and I reserved one bouquet of roses for Mother's Day. On the website, you promised me to deliver them on the same day.
    Anyway, not only did you not deliver the bouquet, three more days later the bouquet was delivered to another adress, it's unbelievable!
    Luckily my mother was in a good mood and she took the news that her neighbour received her bouquet of roses with humour, but I think that your delivery service is expensive enough, to not deliver an order on time, and then delivery three days later.
    To resolve the problem I would like a full and inmediate refund.
    If I don't hear from you within the next week, I shall be forced to contact my solicitor. Please contact with me by email or phone.
    I look forward to hearing from you and a quick resolution of this problem.
    Yours faithfully,

    ....

    Yes- although if I was saying something to mean this, I would say 'Who did I see you at the mall with?' or 'Who were you at the mall with?' or 'Who were you with at the mall?' Not that there's anything wrong with the sentence, it would sound perfectly okay to say :)
