It was nice meeting Barbara. She already has excellent foundation and, most of all, high motivation. Hence, I'm sure she will improve fast. Grazie e a presto!

È stata una lezione introduttiva nella quale abbiamo parlato in maniera informale di diversi argomenti, fra i quali la sua passione per i viaggi, le origini della sua famiglia, la situazione Covid nei rispettivi Paesi. Barbara si esprime in modo preciso e puntuale dal punto di vista del lessico, e sa utilizzare le strutture grammaticali in modo quasi sempre corretto. Già in possesso di solide basi ad un livello intermedio, ha soltanto bisogno di maggiore esposizione alla lingua parlata per migliorare la scorrevolezza.

    The "person concerned" basically means the person who was involved in the situation. Does this help?

    Buying a country house

    Some years ago my wife decided to buy a country house. I didn't like the idea, because a second house involved a lot of work. Our children, who could possibly enjoy it, were not children any more and I was sure they wouldn't go there very often.
    Anyway, I saw an advertisement in the local newspaper, I phoned and I was told to go and visit the house the next day.
    The house had been newly painted. The garden was beautiful and there was a well-kept orchard behind the house. Before I knocked at the door I could see that the owner had taken good care of the place and had done all the work it required.
    The man who opened the door was very kind, but he didn't praise the house as you would expect. He said there were mice and the walls could collapse at any moment. Nevertheless, he asked for an exorbitant price.
    Soon I realized he didn't want to sell the house so I told him the truth: I didn't want to buy a country house, but my wife had insisted. He started to laugh and confessed that he would never sell his beautiful cottage, but his wife insisted so he had to put the damn ad.

    Very well done!  I would change the last sentence slightly.  Either use "...put the damn ad in the newspaper." or "...place the damn ad."

    A joke I just heard

    One day, David saw his wife spanking his son when he got home. He was confused why his wife, a gentle person who tends to spoil their only child, would act like that. However, David was too tired to ask why and he decided to have some pumpkin soup in the kitchen. After finishing the soup, he got some energy to find the answer.
    David:Babe, what happened? I never saw you being so angry. I think you already taught him a lesson and I bet he'll never make the same mistake in the future, so forgive him!
    His wife finally stopped spanking.
    Then she yelled at the son:If you dare pee in the pumpkin soup again...
    David:What the?!

    -- Here is some better phrasing for the underlined sentence: I have never seen you be so angry.

    Motorways help people travel quickly and cover long distances but they can cause some problems

    Nowadays fortunately there are a lot of means of transport. Motorways are the best way to connect different cities unless across more countries but like everything have some problems and can caused big or little accidents.
    One of the problems can be the maintenance of the streets, the bridges, the overpasses and other structures because if you do not this, there can be big incident like Genova that recently had an enormous accident in the street that collect the city from other, with maybe 30 death and a lot of injures because the overpass collapse from time to time. -- Simplify this this sentence by splitting it into two or more sentences to make your meaning more clear.
    Moreover another important problem is the pollution of the environment but also the destruction of it because if you build a street you demolish mountain, a little hill, all flora and vegetation that encircle our ?.  -- It seems like a word is missing here.  Our what?
    I concur that the best thing to do is control everything and before building something, think about future problems that can happen because with a little maintenance, streets, bridges and other structures survive a long time.
