Ripassa i tempi verbali con questi ascolti gratuiti (1) Present Simple

Ecco, qualcosa di nuovo da ImparareInglese.com!

Oggi iniziamo una nuova serie di ASCOLTI, che hanno un doppio scopo, di aiutarti a capire meglio l’inglese parlato, e allo stesso tempo darti esempi di come sono usati i tempi verbali, uno alla volta!

Oggi, iniziamo dall’inzio, con il Present Simple.

C’è un testo da ascoltare, poi sotto, c’è la trascrizione che puoi leggere e studiare.

Sarebbe meglio, ovviamente, provare qualche volta ad ascoltare SENZA la trascrizione. Non preoccuparti se è troppo difficile, non è un test!

NOTA BENE: se leggi questo articolo in una mail, non sarà visibile il ‘plug-in’ che fa funzionare l’ascolto, in qual caso, clicca qui per vedere l’articolo sul sito.

1. Present Simple – I work in the marketing department

I work in the marketing department of a multinational food company. I‘m responsible for packaging design, and for the production of the promotional materials we use in shops and supermarkets.

I coordinate the work of a small team of freelance graphic designers, and I report to the Head of Marketing.

The job offers flexible working hours, which means I can start at any time between eight-thirty and ten, and finish when I choose to, but not before three-thirty! I don’t like getting up early, so I don’t usually begin until around half-past nine, and I never go home until at least six.

I share an office with just two other people from marketing. It‘s a quiet place to work. We don’t talk much during the day, but sometimes we have lunch together, or go for a drink after work.

I spend a lot of my time answering e-mails. I get hundreds each day, but I don’t read them all. If they’re not important, I just delete them!

Once a week our department has a meeting to discuss current and future projects. Our manager works on the floor above ours, but I don’t usually go up there. I work independently, although of course I can e-mail or message her if there’s anything I need to ask.

Homework

Ora, tocca a te!

I’m a dietistic student and i spend a lot of my time going to university. Every morning, i get up at 8:00 and, after my personal care, i go to the hospital to practise apprenticeships. My main activity consist in alimentary education for patients that have wrong dietary behaviours, to try to adapt their diet to the mediterranean pattern. When i finish my work, i go home to prepare lunch for me and my family. After lunch, i go to university for the lessons at 14:00: we study dietary science, diseases related to food and other interesting subjects. We have a variable timetable, so if i’m home early, i spend my time in studying, so i can prepare the exams. I like what i study and the career opportunities for this kind of job. I feel useful, because everyone thinks he know how to eat, but few know how to do this in the right way!
(I think this exercise is useful to improve listening abilities!)

  Thanks for the feedback, Fabrizia, and for your homework! You write well in English, and the use of tenses is correct for the context.
  A few corrections, do you mind?
  
  – Not sure about ‘dietistic student’ – why don’t you do some research and identify the correct term? It could be useful on your CV in the future!
  – use ‘I’ not ‘i’ as the personal pronoun
  – consists OF (not in)
  – ‘behaviors’ is normally uncountable, so ‘behavior’
  
  Have a good day!
