Ecco un breve riepilogo delle espressioni che hai imparato in questa Unit. Leggi con attenzione gli esempi elencati e prova a ripeterli più volte ad alta voce. Attenzione alla pronuncia e all’intonazione.
Nella prima scena, Gemma racconta del suo fine settimana a Brighton, che non è andato esattamente come si aspettava… Rileggi, facendo attenzione ai verbi al passato:
I wanted a romantic weekend with Marco. He came… just to see me.
I met him at Waterloo, and we went down to Brighton together.
It started raining and it continued until he went home again.
I imagined lovely walks along the beach, arm in arm in the moonlight, but we just stayed in our room at the Bed and Breakfast …
He watched the sports channel on TV…
Nel racconto di Gemma compaiono anche alcune preposizioni di luogo, di cui abbiamo esaminato il significato e l’utilizzo:
He came by Eurostar – you know, through the tunnel…
… and we went down to Brighton together. I imagined lovely walks along the beach…
Nella scena successiva, Bill racconta del suo fine settimana sportivo, e purtroppo vuole dare anche una dimostrazione pratica di quello che sa fare con la mazza da cricket. Poni particolare attenzione alla lettura dei verbi al passato:
I spent all day at the sports centre… played a round of golf, some tennis, a bit of soccer in the morning…
I went canoeing in the aftemoon, then I played cricket far the first time.
I learned a couple of good shots from my friends.
They taught me one called a ‘drive’.
Sebbene non abbia ancora del tutto imparato le regole del cricket, Bill è determinato a diventare un bravo giocatore! Nota l’uso del verbo to become:
I’m determined to become a good player!
Purtroppo, però, sembra che debba fare ancora molta pratica e Gemma non perde l’occasione per ironizzare sulle sue scarse doti di giocatore. Osserva ancora l’uso del passato:
Well, we certainly saw what a good cricketer you are!
E ora via con gli esercizi di ripasso!
