E Allora? - Šta ustvari znači "allora" na italijanskom i u kojim momentima komunikacije ga možemo koristiti...

Postoje reči u govornom italijanskom jeziku koje se vrlo često upotrebljavaju a možda su malo zanemarene u postojećim programima za učenje. Poznavanje konteksta njihove upotrebe znatno obogaćuje naše komunikaijske sposobnosti i uspostavljanje kvalitetne interakcije sa našim sagovornicima. Takođe, pravilna upotreba ovih reči ili izraza čini našu komunikaciju na stranom jeziku prirodnijom i adekvatnijom. Predvodnik ove skupine je svakako reč: ALLORA. Reč toliko odomaćena i često upotrebljavana da je skoro pa nemoguće započeti rečenicu bez nje. Sestra bliznakinja bi mogla da bude reč: DUNQUE o kojoj takođe može posebno da se priča... Suštinski allora ima mnogo značenja od kojih su glavna: dakle, stoga, naime, u tom slučaju. Može takođe značiti: tada ili u to vreme.

There are a surprising number of commonly used idioms that contain the verb ‘pull’. 1.  If you accuse someone of  pulling your leg , you mean that you believe they are teasing you by saying something that isn’t true. If we think that someone is teasing us in that way, we might say  ‘ Pull the other leg/one!’ , or even the longer version  ‘ Pull the other one – it’s got bells on! ’ . This shows that we don’t believe them. She’s just pulling your leg – she doesn’t really expect you to do all the cooking. You have a pet lion? Pull the other one! 2. We use ‘pull’ in several idioms connected with people making an effort and doing what they should do. If someone  pulls their weight , they do their share of the work and if you  pull out all the stops , you make as much effort as possible to ensure that something is successful or impressive. Anyone who doesn’t pull their weight will have to leave the project. They pulled out all the stops to make...

Top tips for passing the CAE (Cambridge Advanced English)

READING ü   One of the most important things to bear in mind when tackling any of the tasks in the reading paper (as well as the listening paper) is that the texts will contain  distractors . These are words or phrases that are  similar to or even synonymous with  words or phrases in the question (or in the wrong answers) which might lead you to choose the wrong answer. They are there to ensure you are paying attention to the whole text and not just looking for words that match between the questions and the text. ü   Before answering the questions,  skim-read   the text  to get a general understanding of its content. ü   Make sure you  read both the questions and the options  and  underline key words and phrases . ü   Where possible, try to work out the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context, but  don’t waste time . You should only spend  about 12 minutes ...
