In questo episodio vedremo la storia dell'università di Bologna che è considerata l'università più antica dell'Europa. Ancora oggi Bologna è una città piena di vita e di studenti dove l'università ha un ruolo molto importante.

Testo: 

L’università di Bologna è la più antica università del mondo. Ha quasi 1000 anni. Nasce infatti nel 1088.  Dopo l'università di Bologna, nel 1096 nasce l'università di Oxford nel Regno Unito e nel 1170 l'università di Parigi in Francia. Da quel momento in poi l’università ha un grande sviluppo soprattutto in Italia e Bologna diventa un modello per tutte. A Bologna all'inizio sono gli studenti a scegliere e a pagare i maestri più prestigiosi1, che a volte vengono anche da città lontane. Di conseguenza solo i ragazzi più ricchi possono studiare. I maestri più stimati guadagnano tanto e possono diventare molto famosi.  Gli studenti sono solo maschi, perché a quel tempo le donne non possono studiare, arrivano a Bologna anche da lontano e cercano alloggio, cibo e divertimenti per il loro tempo libero. Grazie alla presenza della sua università, Bologna diventa il centro più importante dell’Emilia Romagna e passa alla storia come “Bologna la Dotta”, che vuol dire la sapiente. All'università le lezioni sono in latino, perché nel Medioevo il latino è la lingua della cultura....

IELTS Preparation. Band 8-9 Answers. Part 3 - Influence of television. Q5-6.

Tom loved teasing his friends at school. Every day, he would make fun of their hairstyles, clothes, or even the way they spoke. Everyone laughed—except Tom.
One day, Sarah decided to tease Tom back, joking about his messy backpack. Tom’s face turned red. He shouted, “Hey, that’s not funny!”
His friends laughed and said, “Wow, Tom! You dish it out but can’t take it!”
Tom realized he shouldn’t make fun of others if he couldn’t handle it himself. From that day on, he learned to be kinder—and more careful with jokes.

Dish it out but can’t take it”

This phrase is used to describe someone who is quick to criticize, tease, or make fun of others but becomes upset or defensive when the same is done to them.

More examples: 

He’s always making jokes about everyone’s mistakes, but he can’t take it when someone teases him. He really dishes it out but can’t take it.
Don’t be like her—she dishes it out but can’t take it.

Dish it out → To criticize or tease others
Can’t take it → Cannot handle being criticized or teased in return
