    About this ebook

    Vuoi acquisire fluenza in inglese?
    Desideri capire il linguaggio utilizzato giornalmente e non soltanto l’inglese dei “libri di testo”?
    Ho insegnato inglese per molti anni e ho visto che molti studenti rimangono bloccati alla fase principiante/intermedia. Imparano le basi e non riescono ad andare avanti. Questo problema per me era frustrante perché avevo molti studenti eccellenti che rimanevano bloccati e che alla fine decidevano di abbandonare.
    Ho pensato a lungo a cosa non andasse bene e poi ho capito che non era lo studente a non avere le capacità, ma era quello che studiavano o come lo studiavano a non essere abbastanza efficace.
    Notavo che, anche se avevano delle buone basi, l’inglese che leggevano nei libri di testo era infarcito della loro madrelingua (non era in inglese). Pensavo: “Perché leggono cose sull’inglese con tutto questo tedesco, giapponese ecc. e non leggono direttamente in inglese?”. Decisi di vedere se potevo risolvere il problema.
    Iniziai ad assegnare agli studenti compiti del tipo “guarda quest’opera in inglese con i sottotitoli e poi senza” o “leggi un breve articolo ogni sera per un mese”. I risultati furono incredibili. I miei studenti iniziarono a diventare più fluenti e ad acquisire fiducia. Mi convinsi che il modo migliore per acquisire fluenza era leggere o guardare qualcosa in un inglese “vero” e che questo sistema poteva veramente essere interessante per gli studenti. Iniziai a scrivere delle storie utilizzando un inglese facile da capire, misto a frasi idiomatiche e phrasal verb, cosa che i madrelingua usano di continuo.
    In questo libro ho aggiunto delle spiegazioni in inglese per consentire agli studenti di non fare confusione tra l’inglese e la propria madrelingua. Ho anche inserito degli esempi di facile comprensione che consiglio di annotare nel proprio quaderno perché utili per aiutare a ricordare con più facilità.
    Credo che imparare le espressioni idiomatiche, i phrasal verb e le frasi più utili sia il modo migliore per andare avanti con l’inglese perché ti permette di utilizzare il vocabolario che i parlanti inglesi usano tutti i giorni.

      Reality TV! Reality?

      Part One

      I’m not going to mince my words; I absolutely hate Reality TV. I don’t know if you have it in your country but here in England, watching it is almost a national pastime. If you don’t know what reality TV is, it’s basically a type of fly on the wall documentary (and I use ‘documentary’ in the loosest sense of the word) where you watch people going about their daily lives. However, now there are lots of different types of these shows and some of them are anything but based on reality.

      Phrases:

      To not mince one’s words: to say things directly. This is used when you tell the truth and do not try to be polite to make people feel better.

      Example: Even though my boss seems a bit rude and never minces his words, at least you know where you stand with him.

      A national pastime: this is used to describe an activity that a certain nationality is well known for. It is often used for something slightly unusual.

      Example 1: Moaning about the weather is a national pastime in Britain.

      Example 2: Being overly polite is almost a national pastime in Canada.

      To be a fly on the wall: the main way to use this phrase is ‘I’d love to be a fly on the wall when ……is/was happening’. This means that you would like to secretly observe a certain situation. For example, ‘I hate George, I’d love to have been a fly on the wall when he got fired’. This means that you would have liked to watch this thing happen.

      Note: In the story above we used ‘fly on the wall documentary’ this is a documentary that observes the everyday life of people.

      Example 1: I hear that she is going to confront her husband about the affair tonight. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when that happens.

      Example 2: Recently there are more and more fly on the wall documentaries on TV. I think it’s because they are cheap to make.

      In the loosest sense of the word: this means that ‘technically’ something is true but in reality things are a bit different.

      Example 1: In my opinion car racing is only a sport in the loosest sense of the word, I mean even golf is more active than that.

      Example 2: You could call me an American but only in the loosest sense of the word. I mean I was born there and have an American passport, but I’ve lived my whole life in England so I consider myself to be British.

      To be anything but: this means that the thing is definitely not as described. So A is the total opposite of B.

      Example 1: In the advertisement it says that the film is suitable for children, but it is anything but. I mean there was lots of violence and bad language.

      Example 2: I thought the film was anything but boring, even though all the reviews said it was. I thought that it was really interesting.

      Part Two

      There are hundreds of different shows but as far as I can tell there are roughly only three types.

      Type one: This one is a type of competition. Basically they get a group of people together and they have to do activities to win a prize. The most famous is called ‘Big Brother’. This is where a group of people have to live together in a house for a certain amount of time. They are complexly cut off from the outside world and have no entertainment other than to talk to each other. Usually what happens is certain small groups emerge and then all they do is
