Ciao Teresa. Hai visto l’annuncio per il mercato in centro? Pensavo di affittare una bancarella per vendere la marmellata ed il miele di mia nonna. Ti ricordi che lei fa questi prodotti alla sua fattoria? Ne ha sempre troppi e non sa mai dove metterli. Lei me li darebbe volentieri e così noi faremmo un po’di soldi e ci divertiremo un sacco.
Fammi sapere se vuoi aiutare.

Se hai bisogno di consiglio consulta il Signor Avviso
Ho appena finito il liceo. Non mi è mai piaciuta la scuola e non andavo bene. Adesso voglio trovare un impiego sicuro dove posso guadagnare i soldi e non rischiare di essere disoccupato nel futuro. Il tipo di lavoro non è importante. Mi può dare un consiglio?
Luca Malstudio
Sono sicuro che ti posso aiutare. Io ho dieci anni di esperienza in questo campo e ho aiutato molti giovani a trovare un lavoro. È vero che nel mondo di oggi molti posti di lavoro stanno scomparendo ma ci sono altri dove le persone saranno sempre necessarie. Ci sarà sempre bisogno di lavoratori per costruire case e riparare luci e bagni. Perché non consideri un mestiere di questo tipo? È sempre possibile trovare successo senza una laurea universitaria.
Milo Avviso

Question 14
(4 marks) Read the text, then answer the questions that follow.
Intervista alla Dottoressa Ranfi
Di cosa parla il suo ultimo libro “L’eredità culturale oggi”?
La maggior parte di noi ha un’eredità culturale diversa dalla regione o dal paese in cui abita. Questo libro ci dice quanto è importante non dimenticare le nostre origini. Conoscere le tradizioni dei nostri genitori o dei nostri nonni e la loro storia è un modo per conoscere meglio noi stessi, le nostre radici.
Secondo Lei, le nuove generazioni lo fanno?
Moltissimi giovani visitano il paese dei nonni ed imparare la lingua o il dialetto e magari anche qualche vecchia ricetta. Durante la visita vogliono vivere come i loro antenati per conoscere meglio la loro vita. Capiscono l’importanza di questo e non vogliono perdere quest’ opportunità. Si sentono arricchiti da questa ricerca.

Question 16
(8 marks) Read the text, then answer the questions that follow.
Cosa stiamo veramente guardando in TV?
Una volta quando si accendeva la TV la differenza tra realtà e invenzione era abbastanza chiara. Da una parte c’erano i film, i cartoni animati e gli episodi di telefilm e di telenovele e mentre dall’altra il telegiornale con le notizie del giorno e i talk show.
Oggi, invece, siamo inondati da programmi che sono chiamati reality, ma che tanto
reality
non sono. Guardiamo persone che fanno finta di vivere normalmente o di sopravivvere in situazioni molto improbabili! Quale celebrità potrebbe sopravivvere su un’isola deserta? Chi non riconosce il capo della loro ditta? Si dice che questi programmi riflettono davvero la verità.
Nel cuore, sappiamo che questo non è giusto ma ci commoviamo e ci arrabbiamo lo stesso quando lo scapolo affascinante dà la rosa ad una delle sue ammiratrici invece che ad un’altra. E le chiamiamo per nome, come dei buoni conoscenti, “Hai visto che vestito indossava Luana ieri sera? ”, “Ma perché Marco ha scelto quella scema? ” Non vediamo l’ora di sapere cosa succederà domani.
Ma, allora, non sarebbe meglio vedere un bel vecchio film dove gli attori sono bravi e la storia è bella dopo avere cenato insieme con la famiglia o gli amici?
(a) According to the writer, what were TV programs like in the past?
