What it is: Two people talk. For each statement, tick who says it: one name, or Entrambi (both). 1 mark per line.
The instruction on the paper: Indica [✓] una risposta corretta per ognuna delle seguenti affermazioni. Chi lo dice? / Chi dice che…? → Tick one answer for each statement. Who says it?

Example: Chi dice che…?

Press play, tick one name or Entrambi for each line.

Ascolterai un'intervista a Beatrice ed Emanuele, due studenti che hanno fatto uno stage.

  1. Chi dice che… all'inizio il lavoro era noioso? A. Beatrice B. Emanuele C. Entrambi
  2. Chi dice che… ha imparato a lavorare in gruppo? A. Beatrice B. Emanuele C. Entrambi
  3. Chi dice che… farebbe di nuovo lo stage? A. Beatrice B. Emanuele C. Entrambi
  4. Chi dice che… ha lavorato a un progetto reale? A. Beatrice B. Emanuele C. Entrambi

Beatrice: Ho lavorato tre mesi nell'ufficio marketing di un'azienda di moda. All'inizio mi davano solo fotocopie da fare, poi mi hanno affidato i social. Emanuele: Io sono stato in uno studio di architettura. Anche per me le prime settimane sono state noiose, ma poi ho partecipato a un progetto vero. Benedetta: La cosa più utile è stata imparare a lavorare in gruppo. Emanuele: Per me, invece, imparare a gestire lo stress delle scadenze. Benedetta: Lo rifarei subito. Emanuele: Anch'io, senza dubbio.

Beatrice: I worked for three months in the marketing office of a fashion company. At first they only gave me photocopying, then they put me in charge of social media. Emanuele: I was at an architecture firm. For me too the first weeks were boring, but then I took part in a real project. Benedetta: The most useful thing was learning to work in a team. Emanuele: For me, instead, learning to handle deadline stress. Benedetta: I'd do it again straight away. Emanuele: Me too, without a doubt.

The grid

1

1st listen: who speaks

Learn the two voices. Tick as you go: lines follow the recording.

3

Listen for agreement

Anche per me, nemmeno io, verissimo = often Entrambi.

4

2nd listen: check

Confirm every Entrambi. One tick per line.

Chi dice che…? Due giovani cuochi

Read the four lines, play, tick one answer per line.

Ascolterai Ludovica e Marcello, due giovani cuochi, che parlano del loro lavoro in un ristorante.

  1. Chi dice che… ha studiato altro prima di cucinare? A. Ludovica B. Marcello C. Entrambi
  2. Chi dice che… il sabato sera c'è tanta pressione? A. Ludovica B. Marcello C. Entrambi
  3. Chi dice che… alla fine della giornata non ha più energie? A. Ludovica B. Marcello C. Entrambi
  4. Chi dice che… vuole aprire un ristorante? A. Ludovica B. Marcello C. Entrambi

Ludovica: Ho cominciato a cucinare a sedici anni nella trattoria dei miei zii. Lì ho imparato che la cucina è soprattutto disciplina. Massimiliano: Io invece ho scoperto questa passione tardi, dopo l'università. Ho studiato economia, figurati! Valentina: In cucina c'è molta pressione, soprattutto il sabato sera. Massimiliano: Verissimo, ma a me la pressione dà energia. Valentina: A me no, la sera torno a casa distrutta. Massimiliano: Il nostro sogno, comunque, è lo stesso: aprire un ristorante nostro. Valentina: Esatto, magari tra cinque anni.

Ludovica: I started cooking at sixteen in my aunt and uncle's trattoria. There I learnt that cooking is above all discipline. Massimiliano: I, on the other hand, found this passion late, after university. I studied economics, imagine! Valentina: There's a lot of pressure in the kitchen, especially on Saturday nights. Massimiliano: Very true, but pressure gives me energy. Valentina: Not me, in the evening I get home exhausted. Massimiliano: Our dream, anyway, is the same: to open our own restaurant. Valentina: Exactly, maybe in five years.

  1. B. Marcello
