II PROVA SCRITTA ESAMI DI STATO

Last Thursday my students of  5^C Liceo Linguistico took an English test on the day of their II Prova Scritta.

It included a text analysis and a composition, but they could choose among four different articles. I must admit that all of them were quite interesting and understandable.
Here you can download them.

"The air is like a butterfly

With frail blue wings.

The happy earth looks at the sky

And sings."
