permette agli studenti di progredire e acquisire un linguaggio spontaneo, attraverso esercizi intensivi mirati a particolari strutture grammaticali, combinando attività di lettura, di ascolto, di scrittura e di speaking.

The 1970s were amazing years for music. Lots of bands and singers from that decade are still famous today. But sometimes talent isn’t appreciated in its own time and place. This is the story of one musician and his lost years.

Reading & speaking 1 WaRM Up look at the title and the photos. What do you think the article is about?

2 Read the article. Circle t (true) or P F (False). 1 Sixto Rodriguez was very famous in the USA in the 1970s. T / F 2 He recorded two heavy metal albums. T / F 3 He sold 500,000 copies of his albums in South Africa but he didn’t know. T / F 4 Rodriguez received lots of money for the South African sales. T / F 5 Stephen and Craig found Rodriguez in South Africa. T / F 6 Rodriguez’s daughter saw their website and contacted Stephen and Craig. T / F 7 A Swedish film maker made a documentary about Rodriguez in the 1990s. T / F 8 He performed in South Africa after he met Stephen and Craig. T / F

Sixto Rodriguez was an American singersongwriter from an immigrant Mexican family. He lived in the car-making city of Detroit. Rodriguez recorded two folk-rock albums in 1970 and 1971, Cold Fact and Coming from Reality. He sang poetic songs about prejudice and injustice, and his producers thought he could be famous like Bob Dylan. Unfortunately, his albums didn’t sell very well in the USA, and he eventually gave up his musical career. But Rodriguez was famous in another part of the world – and he didn’t know! In South Africa, he was more popular than The Rolling Stones and his albums sold 500,000 copies. For South Africans, Rodriguez was a pop music icon and his songs were an inspiration for the anti-apartheid struggle. But his fans didn’t know where he was. Many believed he was dead. And why didn’t Rodriguez know about this success? Because he didn’t receive any money from his record sales! In the 1990s, two South African fans decided to look for Rodriguez and find out more about him. Stephen ‘Sugar’ Segerman, a record shop manager, and Craig Bartholemew-Strydom, a music journalist, created a website dedicated to him. Then, in 1997, Rodriguez’s daughter Eva saw the website and got in touch. They found out he was alive and still in Detroit. Finally Stephen and Craig met their hero. Years later, Swedish film-maker Malik Bendjelloul met the two fans. He listened to their story and in 2012

made a documentary about their search. The film was called Searching for Sugar Man and it won an Oscar. So what did Rodriguez do in those lost years? He sang in bars, did manual work so his daughters could have an education, got involved in local politics, and in 1981 got a degree in philosophy. He also had some success as a singer in Australia and New Zealand and he toured there in 1979 and 1981. After his rediscovery in 1998, Rodriguez went to South Africa and did a sell-out concert tour to enthusiastic crowds. In 2013, after the film came out, a compilation of his songs sold well around the world. Although he is now in his 70s, Rodriguez is finally playing in the USA. It’s never too late to shine!

I live in Los Angeles. My neighborhood reminds me of Mexico. A lot of people play soccer in the street, and they speak Spanish so that’s easy for me! I speak Spanish at home, too. My parents came here from Mexico. They moved in difficult circumstances and life was very tough at first. But now they're American citizens and they're doing very well! I’m still in school. It’s good and my classmates are great. I’m studying hard. I want to have a profession and help the whole community, not just the Hispanic community. We’re all human beings, you know?

I’m from Kenya. My parents moved to the US to get a better life. This is my third year here. Am I happy? 75% of the time. I mean, this is a great country. I live in an apartment in Dallas. It’s an amazing modern city! But I miss my friends, and the countryside and wildlife in Kenya – especially in the fall. And I sometimes have problems at college. Some people are ignorant and they don’t understand diversity. Diversity is great! I think that, in America, with hard work you can make your dreams come true. I want to become a judge. Sure, that’s a difficult ambition. But I want to make a difference.

My dad is a truck driver here and my mom is a nurse. I definitely have a better life here than in Albania. Speaking English was difficult for me at first, but now it’s natural.

My parents came to New York for economic reasons when I was in elementary school. They worked very hard and now they own a drugstore. Academic achievement is the most important thing for my parents. They wanted me to study business and economics, but I love art! I tried business for a year, but it was terrible. So now I’m studying art and my parents are OK with it. These days, I only speak Korean with my grandmother. If you don’t think in Korean, you don’t think in the Korean way. Me? I think in English! I’m an American. And a Korean.

You’re sitting on a bus and an elderly person gets on. You…

a) make sure you find the time to vote. b) think of voting, but there’s live football on the TV. c) decide not to vote. All politicians are the same, aren’t they? 4

The council wants to close the local swimming pool. You… a) get involved in the campaign to fight the closure. b) think it’s a shame, but councils never listen, do they? c) don’t care about it. You don’t use that pool anyway.

a) stand up straight away and let them have your seat. b) look round to see if someone else will get up for them. c) stay sitting down. You’ve bought a ticket, haven’t you?

7b Share your ideas with the class.

4b SPEAKING Work in pairs. Compare your answers to the questionnaire. Did you put the same answers?

There’s some litter in the street outside your house. You… a) pick it up and put it in your bin. b) feel annoyed and kick it down the street. c) leave it there. You didn’t drop it, did you?

I think that it’s terrible not to get up for an old person on a bus. I know what you mean, but isn’t it worse to jump the lights? That could kill someone! I see your point, but if there’s no one around, surely it’s not such a bad a thing to do. Do we agree that talking on a train isn’t that serious?

FOCUS ON HOW GRAMM AR IS USED

1 Study the rules. Present simple ★ Use the present simple to talk about daily life, describe

people and things, express preferences and give information. I get up very early on weekdays. ★ We often use adverbs of frequency such as always, usually, sometimes with the present simple. Alf usually plays tennis on Wednesday afternoons. Present continuous ★ Use the present continuous to talk about activities

that are happening at the time of speaking, or about temporary routines and habits. Rae can’t talk now – she’s working on her project. I’m drinking a lot of coffee these days.

I don't find it easy to get up early, but I'm getting used to it. ★ Don’t confuse be used to + -ing with used to + base form. I used to walk to school when I was a child. (past habit / state that doesn’t happen now.) It’s a long way, but I’m used to walking to school. (an activity that is now familiar or routine.)

and some two-syllable adjectives. Put more / less in front of adjectives with two syllables or more. hotter larger more interesting ★ To make superlatives, add -est to one-syllable adjectives and some two-syllable adjectives. Put the most / the least in front of adjectives with two syllables or more. the oldest building the most expensive restaurant ★ Use (not) as … as to talk about the differences between two things. Food in my country isn’t as spicy as it is here. ★ Use fewer / the fewest (+ countable noun) and less / the least (+ uncountable noun) to compare quantities. There are fewer cars on the road. I have less free time this year. ★ Remember to use than in a comparative sentence. This sports centre is smaller than my local one.

There are thousands of overseas students living in the UK. How easy is it to adapt to life in this country?

I have been climbing mountains as an amateur in the UK for years but I was looking for a new 9___. When I saw the advert for the Thorung La mountain pass climb in Nepal I knew this was it! It would be a difficult climb, but I really wanted to 10___ it. You never 11___ anything if you don’t try, right?

MY FRIEND ELLIE This is a 1___ of my best friend Ellie. Ellie is a kind, caring person who is 100% 2___ – you know you can count on her to be there for you when you need something. She’s a really 3___ person – she never minds giving up her time to help you even when she’s very busy. She’s also a really good 4___, and I think that’s why she is so good at giving 5___. Also, you can have a really good 6___ with her on almost any subject.

I don’t say it was a bad decision, but it was a 12___ climb. The path was icy and slippery and a lot steeper than I had imagined, so we 13___ very slow progress up the mountain. As we climbed higher, the air started to get thinner and it became quite a 14___ to breathe. I had a bad cold so I had to stop every few metres to blow my nose. Luckily, our guide, Kumar, was very 15___, and helped and encouraged us up to the top. Later I 16___ that not all guides were so helpful. On the way down we came across a collapsed trekker from another group whose guide was nowhere to be seen! Kumar stopped to give him first 17___ and called the mountain rescue team to come and fetch him off the mountain. Thanks to our guide Kumar, 18___ in our group made it safely back to base. People now take extra care on this trek after severe snowstorms and avalanches killed more than 40 climbers on the mountain in October 2014.

Some people say that our 7___ reflects our character. In some ways that’s true for Ellie – for example people say her 8___ is obvious from her high forehead. In other ways it’s not true at all, though. For example, she often looks a bit untidy, which might suggest she’s a 9___ person, but actually she isn’t at all. As for clothes, her taste is like mine. She likes trendy, 10___ clothes, but she isn’t afraid to look different.

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), playwright, poet and actor, was probably the greatest writer in the English language. His 38 plays include King Lear, Henry V and Romeo and Juliet. In his comedy As You Like It, Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee the court to find safety in the Forest of Arden. There they meet some memorable characters including the melancholy Jaques, a philosophising nobleman. In one famous speech, Jaques compares a man’s life to a theatrical play in which he plays different roles as he grows older.

from As You Like It Act ll scene vii

t was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these

During a 1____ November night Frankenstein finally saw the result of all his 2____. First, he anxiously prepared to animate the 3____ creature lying on the ground.

Unexpected events may transform our lives but human feelings can 12____ even more dramatically. For two years Frankenstein had 13____ at bringing life to a dead 14____, making himself sick and tired. It was something he had wanted passionately, but now he had achieved the 15____, it filled him with disgust.

luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips. The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature. I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.

or, The Modern Prometheus The summer of 1816 was cold and wet. Three young friends were stuck inside their holiday villa near Lake Geneva. They spent their days telling each other ghost stories and discussing one of the hot topics of the time: galvanism. Was it possible to bring a dead person back to life using electricity? The friends were the poets Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and his 18-yearold wife Mary, the daughter of the radical philosopher William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the first feminist writers. Within a year Mary had turned her story into a novel, and Frankenstein’s monster was born!

JAQUES All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
