Avoiding Common Errors in the IELTS Speaking Exam

¿Quién no ha aprendido el estribillo de una canción en otro idioma sin saber lo que quería decir? Es mágico ¿verdad? Me recuerdo aprendiendo melodías de artistas que cantaban en inglés cuando yo no tenía ni la menor idea de lo que querían decir. ¿Y tú, no?

#22  Short story /  Hanako’s summer vacation ep2 / storytelling // N5 Level

In questo episodio parlo un po' dell'arte nella città di Firenze, di alcune piazze come la Piazza della Signoria che sembra un museo all'aperto, il fascino dei suoi musei come Gli Uffizi e la Galleria dell'Accademia, il ponte Vecchio; non si può non sentirsi innamorati di questa città. Alcuni degli scrittori più conosciuti nel mondo sono di questa città, nomino alcuni; per finire parlo anche un po' su cose da mangiare e bere a Firenze. A livello grammaticale: uso dei tempi dell'indicativo: presente, passato prossimo e imperfetto.

Firenze, tra arte e amore
