La nostra proposta INTRODUZIONE L’opera si propone di preparare gli studenti del triennio della Scuola Secondaria di Primo Grado alla Prova nazionale di Inglese, introdotta a partire dall’A.S. 2017/2018 dall’Istituto INVALSI in versione Computer Based (CB). È strutturata in due volumi, uno per i docenti e uno per gli studenti.

Il volume per gli studenti è composto da: n una prima sezione (La nuova prova INVALSI) con gli esempi ufficiali commentati e corredati di strategie per risolverli, al fine di permettere allo studente di familiarizzare con le diverse tipologie di quesiti che potrebbero comporre la prova ufficiale e di comprendere quale sia la strategia risolutiva più efficace per trovare le risposte esatte ad ogni quesito. n Otto prove propedeutiche (Test), aggiornate in base alle più recenti indicazioni ufficiali provenienti dall’INVALSI, che avvicineranno l’alunno alle diverse tipologie testuali previste, facendo prendere confidenza con i linguaggi e le caratteristiche di ognuna di esse. n Una Extra Section interamente dedicata all’abilità di Language in Use che, nel prossimo futuro, entrerà a far parte della prova INVALSI ufficiale. n Una sezione speciale intitolata Grammar Reference e Verb Tables che guiderà gli studenti a conoscere e a ripassare gli argomenti di grammatica del triennio presenti nelle prove INVALSI. n Un nuovo inserto finale, l’Exam Training, con esempi di tutte le prove e letture in chiave CLIL con collegamenti alle altre materie, per arrivare preparati alla prova scritta e orale di Inglese prevista nell’Esame di Stato a conclusione della Scuola Secondaria di I Grado.

Le prove proposte nel volume sono state pensate e realizzate a partire da un’attenta analisi degli Esempi Ufficiali di Prove pubblicati sul sito web dell’INVALSI, nonché da una scrupolosa disamina delle indicazioni operative ufficiali fornite dall’Istituto stesso, nel tentativo di fornire a studenti e insegnanti dei materiali il più fedele possibile al format ufficiale delle Prove, consentendoci di offrire uno strumento di preparazione alla nuova Prova nazionale di Inglese completo e aggiornato.

Al termine di ogni prova, una tabella di Self-evaluation consente agli alunni di registrare i loro risultati al fine di riconoscere e individuare il livello di preparazione raggiunto e di autovalutarsi.

I brani audio delle attività di Listening si possono ascoltare tramite la App ELI LINK oppure scaricare dal sito.

Infine, per consentire a studenti e insegnanti di familiarizzare con le nuove prove in versione Computer Based (CB), tutte le prove presenti in questo volume sono disponibili anche nel libro digitale in formato interattivo.

Riportiamo a tal proposito le Istruzioni fornite dall’INVALSI per lo svolgimento della prova in versione CB (pp. 4-9).

Didattica digitale integrata: una sezione online contiene ulteriori prove simulate e i file audio delle attività di Listening.

Il volume per i docenti contiene le soluzioni delle varie prove, corredate da indicazioni didattiche e dalle trascrizioni delle tracce audio relative a tutte le attività di Listening.

Buon lavoro, quindi, a insegnanti e studenti!

Test 1 Istruzioni

Reading Comprehension La prova di Inglese che stai per svolgere è composta da alcuni testi per la verifica della comprensione di lettura. Le istruzioni prima di ogni domanda ti diranno come rispondere. Leggile dunque con molta attenzione. La prima domanda è sempre un esempio.

Hai a disposizione quarantacinque minuti per rispondere a tutte le domande. L’insegnante ti dirà quando cominciare a lavorare. Quando il tempo a disposizione sarà finito la prova si interromperà automaticamente. Durante la prova, puoi costantemente controllare il tempo ancora disponibile nella barra che troverai in alto a destra.

Se finisci prima, puoi cliccare con il mouse sul bottone di fine test .

In questo caso il sistema ti invierà un messaggio che ti ricorderà che una volta confermata l’uscita dal test non sarà più possibile rientrare.

Puoi quindi confermare e aspettare lo scadere del tempo, oppure rifiutare e controllare le risposte che hai dato e/o completare quelle che hai lasciato in sospeso.

Alcune domande a cui dovrai rispondere hanno quattro possibili risposte, ma una sola è quella giusta. Per rispondere, devi cliccare con il mouse nel tondino accanto alla risposta (una sola) che ritieni giusta, come nell’Esempio 1.

Esempio 1

Se ti accorgi di aver sbagliato, puoi correggere cliccando con il mouse nel tondino accanto alla risposta che ritieni corretta.

Per rispondere ad alcune domande dovrai scegliere l’alternativa corretta tra TRUE, quando l’affermazione è vera rispetto al testo, FALSE, quando invece è falsa rispetto al testo oppure NOT GIVEN quando non è data nel testo (Esempio 2).

Esempio 2

4 four

Istruzioni

In altri casi dovrai digitare tu la risposta che ritieni corretta nell’apposito spazio sotto la domanda come nell’Esempio 3.

Esempio 3

Alcune domande richiedono di ordinare una serie di eventi presentati nel testo seguendo la successione cronologica dei fatti. Per rispondere devi cliccare con il mouse ciascuno di essi inserendoli, nell’ordine che ritieni opportuno, nel riquadro vuoto a destra (Esempio 4).

Esempio 4

Una volta completato l’inserimento se vuoi modificare l’ordine, in senso crescente o decrescente di uno o più eventi, puoi cliccare su ciascuno di essi e utilizzare le frecce che compaiono accanto alla colonna (Esempio 5): Esempio 5

Istruzioni

Alcune domande richiedono di inserire in un testo parti mancanti, al posto delle quali è stato messo uno spazio. Per farlo, devi cliccare sulla parte di testo che trovi nella lista disponibile e poi nello spazio corrispondente (Esempio 6). In alternativa, puoi trascinare la parte di testo che ritieni adatta nello spazio corrispondente.

Esempio 6

Alcune domande richiedono di fare degli abbinamenti di diverso tipo scegliendo l’opzione corretta (una sola) tra quelle inserite in un elenco a tendina. Per rispondere devi cliccare nello spazio bianco e scegliere, cliccando l’opzione che ritieni opportuna. L’Esempio 7 illustra uno dei possibili tipi di abbinamento.

Nella barra puoi inoltre controllare, in modo più dettagliato, lo stato di tutte le domande durante la prova cliccando sul tasto “Tutto”.

Per avere informazioni limitatamente al numero di domande a cui non hai ancora risposto puoi cliccare sul simbolo Infine per tornare solo sulle domande che hai lasciato in sospeso e/o per le quali hai fornito una risposta ma vuoi rifletterci ancora, puoi cliccare sul simbolo Se preferisci non visualizzare la barra fin dall’inizio o durante lo svolgimento della prova puoi cliccare sul pulsante Nascondi Revisione.

Listening Comprehension La prova di Inglese che stai per svolgere è composta da alcune domande per la verifica della comprensione di ascolto.

All’inizio di ogni compito (task) una voce leggerà il brano relativo alle domande che vedi e a cui dovrai rispondere.

Ti ricordiamo che: • non potrai tornare indietro nell’ascolto del brano.

• il brano non potrà essere messo in pausa.

• se decidi di non rispondere a una domanda dovrai comunque attendere che il tempo prefissato per quel compito (task) trascorra; solo in quel momento ti verrà presentato il compito (task) successivo.

Le istruzioni prima di ogni domanda ti presenteranno il compito (task) e ti diranno come rispondere. Leggile dunque con molta attenzione. La prima domanda è sempre un esempio.

Hai a disposizione circa trenta minuti per rispondere a tutte le domande. L’insegnante ti dirà quando cominciare a lavorare. Quando il tempo a disposizione sarà finito la prova si interromperà automaticamente. Durante lo svolgimento di ogni compito (task) puoi costantemente controllare il tempo ancora disponibile nella barra che troverai in alto a destra.

Where are hippos born? A hippo baby (called a “calf”) is born on land or in water.

It is protected by the mother, not only from crocodiles and lions but from hippo bulls that may try to attack them in the water.

What do hippos love? Hippos love water and they spend most of the day in it to stay cool. The hippo can even breathe, see, and hear while its body is under water because its nose, ears, and eyes are on the top of its head.

Do hippos swim better than people? Yes, they are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for five minutes. Hippos can walk under water along the bottoms of rivers and lakes.

Hungry hippos Hippos are vegetarians. At night, they come out of the water and feed off the grass.

Are hippos dangerous?

Although hippos are vegetarians, they are still one of the most dangerous animals in the world.

Once on land, hippos can run very fast, much faster than people normally can. When a hippo yawns it is not tired but shows its teeth to frighten other animals.

Earth Day is the largest environmental manifestation on the planet, the only time when all the citizens of the world come together to celebrate the Earth and promote its preservation. The first Earth Day in 1970 was proposed by US Senator Gaylord Nelson after witnessing the destructive effects of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. He wanted to emphasize the need to conserve the earth’s natural resources. Even earlier in 1963, Nelson encouraged President John Fitzgerald Kennedy to take a conservation trip to the western US to discuss environmental issues.

The United Nations celebrates Earth Day every year, a month and two days after the spring equinox, April 22nd, and involves up to one billion people each year in 192 countries around the world. In 1970, millions of Americans demonstrated in the streets, parks and auditoriums in favour of a healthy and sustainable environment.

Environmental groups use it as an opportunity to assess the problems of the planet, such as the pollution of air, water and soil, the destruction of ecosystems, the thousands of plants and animal species that are disappearing, and the reduction of non-renewable resources. They insist on solutions to eliminate the negative effects of human activities, including the recycling of materials, the conservation of natural resources such as oil and fossil gas, the prohibition of harmful chemicals and the protection of endangered species.

Chocolate is perhaps one of the most popular sweets in the world. The history of chocolate dates back to 4,000 years ago. It began in South America, in particular Peru, Mexico and Panama. Few people know that chocolate was actually used as a currency by the ancient Mayan people.

Legends said that in these countries there was a tree with special seeds called cocoa that tasted very good. The Spanish captain HernĂ n CortĂŠs discovered them and imported cocoa to Europe for the first time, where it was used as a drink. The taste of chocolate, however, was not available to everyone because it was very expensive. But during the Industrial Revolution it became possible for everyone to taste this extraordinary spice when an English pastry chef created the first chocolate bar in 1830.

There are many types of chocolate. Chocolate is generally divided into three main categories: dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate. For some people the best chocolate is the dark, bitter type, which melts in your mouth. Milk chocolate is a bestseller around the world and unlike dark chocolate it is sweeter and less solid.

White chocolate is very sweet, and contains the most fat. It is often used in the kitchen to decorate cakes.

Eating chocolate can have many health benefits. Chocolate is particularly good for you when it is dark, with a high percentage of cocoa - at least 70% - and a low sugar content.

Chocolate is good for your memory, your heart and your mood. Whether you are sad, tired or bored, a bar of chocolate is often all you need to feel better. So, the next time you eat a piece of chocolate, you don’t have to feel so guilty about it!
