III Year Lettorato Inglese

Dear students,

For your reference I am re-posting the homework assignments for our next lesson on Tuesday, April 19:

Grammar Scan, pp. 86-90, units 11 & 12

Vince, p. 93 exercise 3

Pudney, p. 104, translate the third paragraph only (lines 13-21) of exercise 1.

Goddard, write an analysis of the advertisement on p. 44.

In case you are unable to read the text in the photocopies, I have copied and pasted it here. What follows is the full text of the advertisement:

      If one was missing

            we'd shriek.

            Most people recoil at the sight of a colony

of marine worms.

            Here at BP we hold the 'lowest forms of life'

in somewhat higher regard.

            Ever since our ecologists helped to unearth

the fact that these friendless creatures are

extremely sensitive. Particularly to any sudden

chemical changes in sea water, their natural

environment.

            Apparently even miniscule quantities of

pollutants can decimate entire worm colonies.

            Of course we can't account for every single

worm in the vicinity of our oil platforms.

            But we can monitor their populations

thereby detecting the first signs of contamination

in time to prevent damage to the environment.

            A prime example of the early bird catching

the worm.

            Protecting the environment is one of the

things BP is doing today for all our tomorrows.

                        BP

For all our tomorrows.

TO ALL STUDENTS:

Remember to VOTE in the referendum on Sunday. This is a very important issue, and as adult citizens, it is your civic duty to vote. Personally I think you should vote YES.

This referendum affects the future of the Italian coastline, and the beaches you love.

It also sends a message to the government about the direction you, as citizens, want to take with regard to Italy's energy policies – less reliance on fossil fuels and more use of sustainable energy sources, such as solar power, for example.

Here is an informative article about the referendum:

http://espresso.repubblica.it/attualita/2016/03/24/news/referendum-trivelle-10-cose-da-sapere-per-votare-informati-1.255743

What follows is the first of the ten points in the article:

 1. IL QUESITO. Gli elettori dovranno votare su una questione piuttosto tecnica. Dovranno decidere se i permessi per estrarre idrocarburi in mare, entro 12 miglia dalla costa, cioè più o meno a 20 chilometri da terra, debbano durare fino all’esaurimento del giacimento, come avviene attualmente, oppure fino al termine della concessione. In pratica, se il referendum dovesse passare - raggiungere il quorum con la vittoria del sì - le piattaforme piazzate attualmente in mare a meno di 12 miglia dalla costa verranno smantellate una volta scaduta la concessione, senza poter sfruttare completamente il gas o il petrolio nascosti sotto i fondali. Non cambierà invece nulla per le perforazioni su terra e in mare oltre le 12 miglia, che proseguiranno, né ci saranno variazioni per le nuove perforazioni entro le 12 miglia, già proibite dalla legge.

OFFICE HOURS Second Semester

Please remember that in the second semester my regular office hour on Tuesdays is no longer from 11:30 to 12:30. It has been changed to 4:30-5:30pm.
