I’ll keep this list updated. The documents are on Mediafire. They are not copyrighted documents. I have stopped using FAST because so many students could not access it for one reason or another. The link for downloading is on the FB page for this class. More sensitive documents like the first page from the book in case yours hasn’t arrived, will be emailed to you.
class calendar http://www.mediafire.com/view/?95wd9s938t188jz
Here is the best I could do today. Please come to these sections starting Nov 5th.
If your name does not appear, I’ll be adding you over the next few days if you have emailed me.
If you are on a section that you cannot attend, please try to arrange with someone else (on our FB page for example) to trade sections, or show up at your desired section also, to see if someone will switch.
I don’t know if we can count on a new section being opened up before January!!

THIS BLOG IS OLD AND PATRICIA ROBISON NO LONGER TEACHES B2 - YOUR INSTRUCTOR MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT STYLE OF EXAMINATION. HOWEVER, THESE LINKS ARE STILL USEFUL AND THEREFORE I HAVE LEFT THIS BLOG ON LINE.
FIRST CERTIFICATE EXAM PRACTICE ON LINE
Here is a link with the format for formal letters in different countries. It still seems to me that the British format for dates is 12 May 2008 (as opposed to 12th May 2008 as students have indicated) ……..but there is NO reason to stress out over this particular detail, because 1) surely even the British would not really care, and 2) it does not matter for the exam!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter

Hi C2 people,
We have made lots of progress lately with The Accidental Tourist. I hope you are enjoying it! You should be reading chapter 8 by now. I’ve done some searching on amazon.uk and ebay, and if you want to find cheap copies of the book, check out these links.
If you want to order something from Amazon, tell me and you can pay me back- I get free shipping on most new books.
or
This post is for students who are not really “B2” level. (You know who you are)
I am currently teaching a PET preparation course in Grosseto. There is a blog for that course which includes lots of links to practice for the PET (B1) exam– this may be helpful for you as you try to “catch up” (metterti in pari)!
HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE – SEE YOU WED THE 15TH AT THE CLASSES STARTING AT 10,30.
If you missed the practice exam session, email me for a copy of the exam.
This was the 2 hr portion of the exam dealing with READING and GRAMMAR.
Here is the key-
Part I Reading
o. too expensive – D- he says the license is PRICEY — look for words which mean the same thing (expensive = pricey)
Hello, everyone. I am sorry not to have updated this site in a while!!
Classes for the second semester are well underway at this point.
Please note that I am ONLY in Siena Mondays and Wednesdays, through June. I can be found if needed Monday at lunchtime around room 113, or you can email me if you need to.
MONDAY
WEDNESDAY
B2 Students: Here is the class calendar. So far, we are keeping up with it.
Your writing notebooks are always in the hallway outside room 113.
C2 Students: The Accidental Tourist is in the library, and we are currently reading chapter 6. In addition, I have asked everyone to finish chapters 17 and 18 of Destination.
Hello B2.. As you know, I’ve asked you to send me a favorite recipe.
I’ve also promised to give you a few.. and as I’m a bit lazy, rather than typing them all, I’ve decided to give you a whole American menu, with links to very good recipes.Try one!
Starters (Munchies): buffalo wings with bleu (pronounced blue) cheese dip (they are good, I promise!) http://recipes.robbiehaf.com/H/76.htm
Main course:I think I’d just grill vegetables and hamburgers outside for the main dish. I’ll link you to my friend Christina’s fantastic marinade…(she calls it “brine”) if you marinate turkey breast in this and then grill it, it’s fantastic:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/11/16/FDG71FNODJ1.DTL
Side dishes: wilted spinach with roasted garlic (I know, there’s a lot of garlic, but it’s great!!)http://http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Wilted-Spinach-with-Roasted-Garlic-240366
and a classic ..yum!
scalloped potatoes http://southernfood.about.com/od/scallopedpotatoes/r/bl60901b.htm
for dessert…. apple pie is a classic, but I prefer apple crisp (easy and delicious..serve with whipped cream and ONLY use Granny Smith apples)
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1613,139189-245196,00.html
and if you are truly sinful, new york cheesecake.. but that’s harder to make!
Hi C2-ers,
I hope to see many of you Monday (tomorrow, 15 Dec), but for those who are not present, I hope you will read through this post and my last post to catch up on what we are doing. I really need you to work on the project listed below, and I hope we’ll have a schedule that is more convenient for everyone in 2009!!
C2 Dec 15
We’ll discuss http://www.thestoryofstuff.com … see my previous post on this.
We’ll do a translation of an environmental opinion piece– come see me or email me for a copy, if you’d like to give it a try.
We’ll pretend to be the jury for Shell-BBC-World Challenge, and decide on a winner among the entries for 2008 : if you can’t join us Monday, please find these at http://www.theworldchallenge.co.uk
and write me an essay with your motives for choosing a winner (and obviously, tell me who that winner is!)
Here is the homework I’ll ask everyone to begin working on, over the break. We’ll start signing up for presentations in Jan.
C2 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Choose one of these environmental topics, do some research on the internet or in the library, and prepare to talk to the class for 5-10 minutes about it.
NOTES:
1. In order to be effective, such a short talk should be a brief overview (e.g. covering the 5-6 most common sources of alternative energy) or a more in-depth talk but quite specific (e.g. wind power only, advantages and disadvantages).
2. Please prepare a handout (photocopy) for your classmates, or a power-point presentation. If you choose to do a pp presentation, let me know so that I can reserve a multimedia room.
3. Everyone should prepare a short list of new vocabulary related to her topic to share with the class.
4. Please write a summary of the talk for me in your essay notebook.
Possible topics
Renewable energy (e.g. solar power)
Alternative fuels (e.g. biodiesel)
Biodiversity/ Conservation
Does Recycling Work?
Global Warming
Global Warming Doubters
Pollution and how to combat it
Carbon Footprints- Reduction and Calculation thereof
Green Design- Green living- Green building

Hi everybody. First things first: it really stinks to get to school for an 8.30 class only to find it’s been cancelled, and I’m very sorry about that. My husband got stuck in the snow and both my kids are sick, so I had absolutely no alternative.
Some of you have missed lots of classes lately so I would like to see you catch up to where the rest of us are, and then in Jan we’ll start some new projects.Here is a list in reverse chronological order of what I would like you to do!!
RIGHT NOW-(homework to be done by MONDAY 17 Dec..NB the last bit was not mentioned on Thursday last week!!)
1. Visit http://www.thestoryofstuff.com and watch the movie that appears at the top of the page. Ideally, watch it twice. It’s very interesting in my opinion.
2. Read through (skimming) the glossary which I have tried to link to this website but if not you can find it here: http://www.storyofstuff.com/pdfs/annie_leonard_glossary.pdf
3. Read through the discussion questions Annie lists. Choose ONE of them and write a solid 300 word or so answer in your notebooks, which you should be prepared to talk about with us on Monday. http://www.storyofstuff.com/pdfs/annie_leonard_group_activities.pdf
4. Choose ONE of the terms in the glossary (for example, “landfill”) and do an internet search on its Italian (or your native language) equivalent (for example, “discarica”). What can you tell us about the status of that term/object in your country? (for example, if you chose “landfill” you might discuss the trash problem in Naples).
I’ll post the older homework later today. I’m off to get these kids seen by the doctor!!!
