Un po' di scrittura
Lavorate con parole simili (Working with cognates): As you begin learning Italian, you may want to rely heavily on cognates or near co8nates when both speaking and writing. Make sure you review the possible categories of cognates outlined in the previous section of the wokbook and in your textbook,
* A.
Presentazione personale. In this activity, you will be using cognates to supply basic information and connectors to link your thoughts together in a cohesive and coherent way. Followng the model provided by Doug in the Lettura sectior write a brief paragraph using the following information Write as if you were Francesca and give as much iformation about yourself as possible. You may want to write the information or separate lines fust. For example,
t-
Abito a Milano.
As you already noticed when you read Doug's description, someone fluent in ltalian will tend to write longer sentences connected by commas or conjunctions such as e, ma (but), and anche (nlso). The preceding sentences could be rewritten this way: Sono Francesca Vettori, sono italiana e abito a Milano.
