Il migliore amico di Jimmy è un ragazzo italiano di nome Marco. Marco è di Venezia, ha 30 anni e vuole imparare l’inglese. A volte la sera Jimmy incontra Marco e insieme chiacchierano in italiano e in inglese.

Jimmy conosce Marco da solo un mese. Marco è giovane, un po’ basso, magro ma è in forma. Secondo alcune persone è bello, secondo altre persone è brutto.

Marco ha i capelli corti, castani e ricci. Ha gli occhi piccoli e neri, le labbra carnose, il naso aquilino come molti italiani e ha la pelle scura.

Jimmy è anziano, alto, un po’ robusto. Ha i capelli lunghi, biondi e lisci. In realtà i suoi capelli stanno diventando brizzolati. Ha gli occhi grandi e verdi, le labbra sottili e il naso a patata.

Marco e Jimmy hanno due caratteri diversi. Marco è estroverso, gentile ma pigro. Jimmy è timido e introverso, a volte scontroso, ma molto diligente.

Sono due brave persone: Jimmy è molto generoso, Marco è molto simpatico e sorridente. Però Jimmy, quando è arrabbiato, è un po’ antipatico. Marco invece è un po’ tirchio e lascia pagare sempre Jimmy!

Nonostante le differenze, Jimmy e Marco vanno molto d’accordo e sono felici di trascorrere del tempo insieme.

Il mio migliore amico

Have you ever been "taken for a ride"? If you've been tricked or lied to before, then the answer is yes. Here are some other expressions about lying.

If someone confidently tells you a big lie and doesn't seem to feel bad about it, then you can say they are "lying through their teeth." Such people might make a "web of lies," telling many lies to make people believe them. And if someone lies all the time, you can say they "lie like a rug" – which is a joke using two meanings of "lie," because a rug can only lie on the floor.

If someone lies to you, tricks you, or wants to stop you from finding something out, you can say they are trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." The expression comes from the early 19th century, and may be talking about the wool wigs that some people wore at the time. So someone could pull your wig down, covering your eyes and stopping you from seeing what was really happening.

But not every lie is a big one. Sometimes people just "bend the truth," which is telling a small lie that is usually not serious and probably won't hurt anyone. Often people "bend the truth" by saying something that's part-true, while leaving out important information.

But if someone "stretches the truth," they are probably saying that something is better than it really is. Some people might stretch the truth to make a story more interesting.

nalphabetismus

Ein Mensch ist Analphabet, wenn er nicht oder nicht RICHTIG lesen und schreiben kann. Das sind in Deutschland etwa 7,5 Millionen oder 14,5 % aller ERWACHSENEN. Ein funktionaler Analphabet kann vielleicht Buchstaben und Wörter lesen, er hat aber MÜHE einen längeren Text zu verstehen. Für diese Menschen sind viele ALLTÄGLICHE Dinge eine große Herausforderung: das Lesen eines FAHRPLANS, das Verstehen einer Gebrauchsanweisung, das Ausfüllen eines Formulars oder das Schreiben einer Nachricht auf dem Smartphone. Analphabetismus hat viele Gründe. Diese Menschen sind aber fast immer von wichtigen Bereichen des täglichen Lebens ausgeschlossen. Der LEIDENSDRUCK kann groß sein und so entwickeln viele von ihnen komplizierte Strategien, um ihr Defizit zu VERTUSCHEN: Man hat die Brille vergessen, hat sich die Hand verletzt, hat keinen Stift dabei und so weiter. All das ist SELBSTVERSTÄNDLICH keine Lösung des Problems. Es gibt aber Hilfe für erwachsene Analphabeten:  In den größeren Städten werden Kurse angeboten und natürlich können Betroffene auch digitale Möglichkeiten nutzen.
