Conversazione: il lavoro
Take your phone or use any video recording system at your disposal, and video-record yourself while speaking in Italian!
Talk about your thoughts and hopes about your future job: what did you want to be as an adult? Are you studying for that profession? What will you do after college? Remember … have fun!
Speak spontaneously for 2-3 minutes. DO NOT READ.
Once you have your video, upload the file or the youtube link on the course website.
Tips and Tricks
To help you prepare for this recording, and as you go through your presentation, think about answering these questions:
- Che cosa volevi fare da grande quando eri piccolo/a?
- Che lavori hai fatto in passato?
- Hai un lavoro ora?
- Che lavoro fai?
- Ti piace il tuo lavoro? Perché?
- Che cosa non ti piace del tuo lavoro? Perché?
- Racconta qualcosa di divertente o interessante sul tuo lavoro.
- Da’ alcuni consigli ai tuoi colleghi. (usa l’imperativo)
- Che lavoro farai dopo l’università?
- Che materie studi o studierai per fare quel lavoro?
- Racconta qualche particolare del tuo lavoro futuro.
- Che cosa non farai nel tuo lavoro futuro?
- Da’ alcuni consigli al te del futuro: che cosa dovrai fare per avere quel lavoro o per mantenere quel lavoro? (usa l’imperativo)
Remember also to greet your viewer before introducing yourself and at the end.
Remember to use imperfetto, passato prossimo, imperativo and futuro appropriately (the questions above may help you figure out when to use them.)
Remember to use the vocabulary from this chapter and any previous vocab you have studied to offer more details.
Group Conversation
Do you like a challenge?
If you feel audacious you can connect with a classmate and do the conversation together!
- Connect with a classmate (or another student of Italian) on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or another video conferencing tool and record the conversation. If you decide to do this, the whole conversation should last for up to 6 minutes.
- Start with the questions above and conversate freely in Italian by asking and answering those and other questions that you have learned in class.
