1. Listen to Audio CD unit 16, including listening along with the little reading booklet.

2. Do the esercizi D and E on page 133. (click for answers)

3. Use the pink handout from last week: "Progetto italiano 1", both sides, to tell us about yourself. (What you do for a living, where you're from, how long you've studied Italian, where you're staying in Italy, why you're in Italy... The handout just has some examples of ways to form sentences when introducing yourself and describing yourself. If the pink handout doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about it. We'll look at it next time.
