You’re very welcome Sebastian.

I totally know where you are coming from. In April last year I had to do an exam in Italian to apply for citizenship. I was quite good at all the parts except from grammar and writing. I had to really practise in order to pass the exam and it is still my weakness! However, I have made big improvements. Consistency and practice, one step at a time and you’ll get there 🙂

Great job Sebastian! Let’s have a look at some corrections:

Scenario 3
“Sorry, I was a bit absent. What did you just say?” > Instead of ‘absent’ you should say: distracted: Sorry, I was a bit distracted.

Scenario 7
“I’m sorry, how many percent?” > it sounds more natural to say: “What percent?” or “What was the figure?” Or simply “Sorry, how much?”

*percent/ percentage is uncountable so we need to say much, not many

“So 37% will be acceptable?” – This works 🙂

Scenario 8
“Ok, about 9ish I’ll be waiting for you after you’ll pick up Jenny first.” > Ok, about 9ish I’ll be waiting for you after you pick up Jenny first.
*This is the first conditional – we need will in the first clause and the present simple in the second clause:
WILL + INFINITIVE | IF/WHEN/AFTER etc + PRESENT SIMPLE

Good work Chiara. Solid strategies and I would agree with everything you wrote.

Thanks for sharing!
