                   Ciao amici,

                   Oggi ho passato la giornata con Elio. È stato speciale passare del
                   tempo con lui. È arrivato la mattina presto e siamo andati subito
                   al suo parco preferito. Lì ha giocato con il suo migliore amico
                   dall’asilo e si è divertito tanto. Dopo l’ho aiutato a imparare
                   ad andare in bicicletta. Era felicissimo e non vedeva l’ora di
                   raccontarlo alla mamma. Voleva dare da mangiare alle anatre,
                   ma ho dimenticato di portare il pane. Più tardi, voleva un gelato
                   gigante e gliel’ho comprato. I suoi occhi brillavano! Quando
                   sono venuti i genitori a prenderlo Elio dormiva profondamente.

                   Che bella giornata!

                   Morgana

(a)   Morgana is Elio’s                                                                                                                 1

         Recensione del ristorante

              Oggi sono stato al Vostro ristorante per pranzo perché un mio
              amico mi ha detto che è perfetto per un appuntamento romantico
              e volevo fare bella figura con la mia ragazza. Però il servizio era
              terribile, il cameriere non ha portato né l’acqua né il menù. Ho
              dovuto chiedere tante volte.

              Poi le patatine erano crude e il pollo era bruciato e molto salato.

              Inoltre, la forchetta era sporca e quando ne ho chiesto un’altra mi
              hanno portato un cucchiaio.

              Infine, il conto era altissimo.

              Anche se l’atmosfera non era romantica e ho fatto brutta figura,
              ho chiesto alla mia ragazza di sposarmi e ha detto di sì. Almeno
              la serata è finita bene.

          Oggetto:      Domanda di lavoro

          Gentile signor Nettuno,

          vorrei fare domanda per il posto di lavoro da bagnina. Sono una ragazza
          di 17 anni e a scuola sono sempre in orario. Come vedete dal mio
          curriculum, non ho mai ricevuto una nota negativa per il ritardo e nel
          mio ultimo lavoretto non ho mai fatto tardi.

          Sono il capitano della squadra di pallanuoto, quindi so quanto è
          importante trattare bene e incoraggiare i compagni e apprezzare tutti i
          membri della squadra. Oltre alla piscina mi alleno in palestra tre volte
          alla settimana. Anche se non ho mai lavorato come bagnina, penso di
          essere perfetta per questo lavoro.

          Spero di ricevere presto una risposta.

          Cordiali saluti,

          Marina Stella

Question 15 (10 marks)

Read the text and then answer the questions that follow.

                              Sospensione o meditazione?

     Le scuole di oggi sono troppo permissive con i ragazzi e continuano a perdere
     autorità? Il preside del Liceo Da Vinci ha comunicato a genitori e alunni il
     nuovo programma disciplinare che trasforma le punizioni tradizionali in un
     approccio più positivo e benevolo. Dall’anno prossimo in questa scuola gli
     alunni avranno una scelta. Invece delle solite detenzioni e sospensioni gli alunni
     che si comportano male o che non fanno i compiti, potranno scegliere come
     rimediare alle loro azioni negative. I ragazzi possono decidere di seguire un
     corso di yoga e di meditazione, dove imparano a calmarsi e a controllare le loro
     emozioni. Così imparano a pensare prima di agire. Oppure possono scegliere
     di aiutare nella manutenzione della scuola o assistere nell’organizzazione di
     vari eventi scolastici come gite e manifestazioni sportive. Secondo il preside
     i ragazzi non solo riflettono sulle loro azioni, ma imparano anche tante nuove
     cose, per esempio come pitturare un cancello o creare il programma per le gare
     di nuoto.

     Dice il Preside Fantozzi “I miei studenti devono riflettere su come essere una
     parte attiva e positiva della nostra comunità e essere responsabili. Devono capire
     che attraverso gli errori si impara e che le “punizioni” possono anche essere
     produttive ed utili. Spero che questi insegnamenti siano utili per tutta la vita”.

     Forse quest’idea cambierà come vediamo le punizioni. Ma gli adolescenti di
     oggi sono abbastanza maturi per capire il valore di questa iniziativa? Hanno
     davvero la mentalità giusta per apprezzare i benefici della meditazione o di
     come aiutare gli altri?

     Secondo me i metodi tradizionali per disciplinare gli studenti sono ancora validi.
     C’è bisogno di sostituirli completamente? Questa è una domanda importante
     che deve essere discussa.
