Well done on your hard work. And on 'getting it' with pronunciation. I agree that recording yourself will work.

Excellent work Federica on your attempts at fluency. You definitely spoke more freely toward the end of the lesson.

A really good start. I can see that your speech will catch up with your head knowledge fairly quickly. Yes, it takes hard work, commitment and dedication, but that is already yours in spades.

    Write about cancel culture I think that the cancel culture can be in some cases a good possibility to avoid racist or sexist contents, but unfortunately in other cases this is a way to advertise these contents, because banning a film or a book increases the popularity of it. I think that it is a sort of censorship and it isn’t possible nowadays in social media era. I support the freedom of expression that is a fundamental value, for this reason a correct dialog about these contents is a better solution.

    Writing exercise (thank you in advance for your correction) Today I have watched a TED TALK on YouTube that talks about a man called Kyle MacDonald that traded a paperclip for a house. The idea behind that trade came from a paper clip on his desk. He wanted to trade his paperclip for something bigger and more valuable and once he obtained that, he repeated this process until he had an house. Firstly, he posted a photo of the paper clip on a website to exchange it with another item. Two girls answered to barter it with a pen shaped like a fish. After that, he traded the pen with a face-shaped knob. At each exchange the value of the new thing was becoming bigger. Starting from these low value items he obtained an house with only 14 trades. Very impressive in my opinion. I think that the most impressive exchange was a role in a movie for a KISS snowball, not only for their different value but also because about the snowball the man didn’t say “I want it” but “I need it”. I think that in this phrase it is summarized the reason why Kyle was able to manage these exchanges. Because the value of a thing is perceived differently by each person and it depends on how much a person needs this thing.

    Today I have watched an interesting video. This video talk about a man, Robert Bezeau, that had the idea to create an education center to teach people came from different part of the planet how to reuse the plastic bottle as materials to build shelters. The idea is using the plastic bottles in many applications as home insulation, temporary shelters, barns, road, tanks and to create building for animals in farms. He says that we have to be conscious when we buy a plastic bottle that this bottle is our propriety and it should be reuse or recycle. He have created a movement in order to share awareness about this and he had another idea to convince people to recycle by means of stickers to be applied on bottles. When the sticker is on bottle this is a form of currency and it can be picked up to Village in exchange for 5 cents. A good question that could be find within this article is: why the bottlers that sell billions of plastic bottles gaining a lot of money couldn’t contribute to clean the oceans from plastics? Thank you in advance for any correction

    Yes I mean the direction of the slope. Probably I can say the direction (not sign). From my report: “The BSK trend on the time series can be positive or negative and it is obtained from the direction of the slope of the fitted line”

    How can I say “sign of the slope of the fitted line”? (Math question ;) ) Is it correct ? Probably slope sign of the fitted line seems better but I don’t know if slope sign is correct

    Write about your last week This week I have had to work a lot. I have a deadline for the first week of October and I have to find a new method to accomplish a project because the old method doesn’t work with the new data. This is very stressful. This weekend the weather was really bad. The temperature have decreased more than 15 degrees and the rain has fallen continuously. My boyfriend and I had a lot of plans for the weekend. Today we were going to an open day for a sailboat course with a trip of 3 hour on a sailboat but it was canceled because of the weather and the bad conditions of the sea.

    Quarter-life crisis My teacher gave me an article about the quarter life crisis. In this article the author talk about her quarter life crisis because she is actually living it. She found her 15-year-old secret diary and she discovered a list of things that she wanted to achieve by the age of 25. These include:be engaged, own a house in the most exclusive district in London, own an expensive car, be a famous tv presenter. She of course now at 25 doesn’t reach this targets. She is single, unable to pay a rent and without car. Now she suffers from anxiety attacks and the idea that people are achieving while she doesn’t fills her with panic. She discovered thanks to social network that she isn’t alone. In general the quarter life crisis is a period of insecurity and doubts about relationships, career and financial situation. I’m 32 and I have passed my quarter of life, but sometimes I feel the same feelings especially now, after the lockdown. I had to change all my life plans. I was going to buy a house and to get married. Now I have no house and no marriage and the situation at home is totally changed. Probably we are tested by a forced 24/7 cohabitation. I have a good job but I started it few months before the lockdown and sometimes I feel totally lost. Because of the long period of smart working, I had to work alone from home so I couldn’t talk to my colleagues to share informations and notions. Sometimes my job cause to me a lot of anxiety and I don’t know how I can overcome this problem. Thank you for your corrections!

    Le mie resoluzioni con le mie lingue straniere Mi sono resa conto di non essere più capace di parlare italiano come lo facevo qualche anno fa. Ho studiato l'italiano all'università dal 2012 al 2015 e poi ho fatto un tironcinio di 5 mesi a Firenze nel dipartimento Webmarketing di una scuola di lingua italiana per studenti stranieri. Questa scuola si chiama la Scuola Leonardo da Vinci e ha più o meno 5 sedi in diverse città italiane. Ho avuto la possibilità durante 1 mese di fare sia lo stage sia un corso d'italiano. Andavo a studiare lingua la mattina e poi lavoravo di pomeriggio. In quel periodo, potevo parlare italiano senza molte difficoltà : mi ricordavo dei miei corsi di grammatica italiana dell'università e praticavo la lingua ogni giorno. Poiché vivevo lì, Avevo anche approfittato per comprare e leggere qualche libro in italiano. Pero' dal momento in cui sono tornata in Francia, non ho avuto molte possibilità di usare la lingue nella mia vita quotidiana. Dall'estate 2018, lavoro in un'impresa tedesca che ha sussidarie in diversi paese tra i quali la Francia (dove lavoro io) e l'Italia. Provo a parlare italiano ogni volta che devo comunicare con l'ufficio italiano ma non ci sono molte opportunità. Ecco perché desidero ormai fare lo sforzo di praticare un po' l'italiano con qualche voce di diario ogni tanto. Il mio obiettivo sarebbe di scrivere un bel paragrafo in italiano almeno una volta a settimana. Penso che sia un ritmo adatto alle mie abitudini : mi dà la possibilità di particare l'italiano regolarmente, ma mi lascia anche tempo per mantenere le mie altre lingue (albanese e tedesco al momento) e di continuare ad imparare il russo. Grazie per la vostra correzione :) Ottimo italiano!!
