WRITING TASK 2
Thanks to the Italian classes at that time, today he works in a hotel chain in Cartagena.
When I think back on my high school years in Bogota, I always remember my Italian teacher.
She was very strict, she was from Bucaramanga. When she came into the classroom, we all had
to stand up and say “Buongiorno signorina”, and we couldn’t sit down until she gave us
permission, the very typical in Colombia. First, and as a routine, we had an activity in which we
practiced vocabulary from the previous class. Then, she took out some cards with new
vocabulary in order to practice pronunciation and spelling, but we were not allowed to look up
the words in the dictionary. Right after that, she always handed out some copies of activities to
“fill in the blanks” so we could practice the new words. During this activity we could work in
small groups. I used to get together to work with the same classmates. I used to think those
classes were boring. I hated them. Now I have to thank my teacher because I can speak some
Italian. I work in an international hotel chain in Cartagena.
