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 lo dice?

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

Ascolterai Leonardo e Caterina, che parlano della loro scuola.

  1. Chi lo dice? Vado a scuola in autobus. A. Leonardo B. Caterina C. Entrambi
  2. Chi lo dice? Mi piace la storia. A. Leonardo B. Caterina C. Entrambi
  3. Chi lo dice? Il cibo della mensa è pessimo. A. Leonardo B. Caterina C. Entrambi

Leonardo: Io vado a scuola in autobus, ci metto mezz'ora. Benedetta: Io invece abito vicino, vado a piedi. Alessandro: Le lezioni mi piacciono, soprattutto storia. Benedetta: Anche a me piace la storia! Però la mensa è terribile. Alessandro: Hai ragione, il cibo della mensa è pessimo.

Leonardo: I go to school by bus, it takes me half an hour. Benedetta: I, on the other hand, live nearby, I walk. Alessandro: I like the lessons, especially history. Benedetta: I like history too! But the canteen is terrible. Alessandro: You're right, the canteen food is awful.

Anch'io, neanch'io, hai ragione = often Entrambi.

Vittoria: I use social media mainly to stay in touch with my cousins in Australia. Gianmarco: I, on the other hand, use them to follow sport. Valentina: Sometimes, though, I spend too much time on my phone in the evening. Gianmarco: That happens to me too, especially before bed. Valentina: That's why I now switch my phone off at ten.
