MY DIARY

Welcome to my blog!

1. get on_ vado d’accordo 2. outgoing_ socievole

Hi there everybody! Well, summer’s here at last… and I’m going to help you with your English homework. I’ve decided to write this blog to share my opinions, ideas and stories with you – I hope you enjoy reading them and that you can learn lots of interesting things!! Well, first of all, let me introduce myself – my name’s Caitlin Stuart and I was born in Edinburgh 15 years ago. Both my parents were born in Glasgow, but they moved to Edinburgh after they got married in 2000. I’ve got two brothers, both younger than me; Keith is thirteen and Alistair is eleven. I get on1 really well with both of them even though they’re very different from each other. Keith is outgoing2 and chatty and very sporty whereas Alistair is more reserved and a bit of a nerd!

I’m really into sport. I love rugby and football; I support Liverpool Football Club even though I’m Scottish, which makes my dad and Keith mad – they support Hibernian!! Anyway, what are you doing this summer? We’re going to Highland Glen – it’s where Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban was filmed!! We are all crazy about travelling and are into eco-friendly and sustainable travel. “What’s that?” I hear you say! Well, we think it’s really important not to destroy the environment when we travel, we like to learn about nature in a certain area and we like to help the people there. In fact we’re going to stay in an ecofriendly cottage. See you soon! Hugs Caitlin

MY DIARY

The “must tastes” of Scotland Hi again! Remember in one of my blogs I said I wanted to tell you about Scottish food? Well, here goes! If you ever get the chance to visit Scotland, don’t leave without trying these dishes! One of Scotland’s most iconic dishes is, of course, haggis… and I love it – it’s made of sheep’s liver, lungs1 and heart mixed with lots of spices and onion – all cooked inside a sheep’s stomach. I can hear you saying “Yuck! That’s disgusting!” but believe me, it’s absolutely divine – my favourite dish!

1. lungs_polmoni 2. porridge_piatto a base di ﬁocchi d’avena 3. deep fried_ fritto in parecchio olio 4. batter_pastella

Ever heard of porridge2? On cold winter mornings there’s nothing better than a bowl of hot porridge. Some like it sweet, others like it salty (I like it both ways). You can also add fresh fruit or nuts… it’s yummy! We all know what shortbread is – everybody loves these delicious buttery biscuits and they come in all shapes and sizes. I adore shortbread with chocolate and caramel – it’s called “Millionaire’s shortbread”.

We Scots love our shortbread with a cup of tea or coffee, and we often give it as a gift at Christmas or the New Year. And… what about deep fried3 Mars Bars?? You can go into any fish and chip shop in Scotland and ask for a fried Mars Bar… Yes, really!! The famous chocolate bar is covered in batter4 and then fried – it’s a yummy, chocolatey, sweet, beautiful dessert. Don’t like Mars Bars? No problem! Choose your favourite chocolate bar and they’ll fry it for you!! See you soon!! C

THE FUTURE ’s very likely1 that today’s salad I ordered online or in app will be created in a Ghost Kitchen. “What is a Ghost Kitchen?” I hear you ask. Well, a Ghost Kitchen, sometimes called a Virtual Restaurant, a Dark Kitchen or a Cloud Kitchen exists to serve orders placed only with an app or delivery service web page. It’s extremely easy – all you have to do is go onto your app, place your order, pay and when the food is ready it is delivered to your home. You don’t even leave the house to go and pick it up2! Ghost Kitchens are becoming more and more popular because people often prefer to eat in the comfort of their own home, sitting on the sofa in front of the TV (especially since the appearance of Covid 19 and social distancing). Others prefer to order

IS NOW

something to eat in the office if they are working late. It’s so convenient. Lots of restaurateurs are opening Ghost Kitchens because they can save a lot of money. They are much cheaper to run3 because they don’t have to buy tables, chairs, plates, knives, forks and so on. They don’t need to pay waiters or bartenders either so they also save money on staff. Another reason for their popularity is that everything happens online: the customers enter their personal information and choose their meal. The food is prepared and delivered. The customers can rate4 the meal and give feedback, again online. In this way, it is very easy to monitor which meals are the most popular! However, there are also some cons5. One problem is that the only visibility is online – so it is extremely

important to use social media and online publicity. Another problem is that the relationship between the customer and the restaurant owner is only digital so it’s difficult to give the restaurant a personal touch. And last, but not least, many food items do not travel well. Still, whether we like it or not, Ghost Kitchens are here to stay… and who knows? That lunch you order tomorrow may come from a Ghost Kitchen – enjoy it! 1. likely_probabile 2. pick it up_ prenderlo

3. run_gestire 4. rate_valutare 5. cons_contro

1. True (T) or false (F)? Correct the false statements. 1. Ghost Kitchens only work online. 2. Customers can decide if they want to collect the food or use the delivery service. 3. Restaurateurs do not need to buy dining room furniture for Ghost Kitchens. 4. It is difﬁcult to see which meals are most appreciated. 5. The success of Ghost Kitchens depends mainly on social media and apps.

2. Find the words in the text which match the following deﬁnitions. 1. a portion of food requested in a restaurant 2. people who buy things from others 3. keeping a safe space between people 4. a group of people who work for a company 5. useful 6. a reaction or response to an activity 39 EUROPASS © Casa Editrice G.

M E E TE TH OR AUTH

The characters Jim Hawkins The protagonist of the book. He is a young, adventurous country boy (probably 12 to 14 years old) who goes on a treasurehunting voyage to Treasure Island. His parents own the Admiral Benbow Inn.

Although Robert Louis Stevenson only lived to the age of 44, he had a great impact on the world of literature. He was born on November 13, 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland and spent much of his childhood in bed with serious health problems. He studied law at Edinburgh University but turned his attention to writing after graduating. He wrote adventure and travel books, novels for adults, short stories and poems. He eventually settled in Samoa in the South Pacific with his wife, where he was very popular. He died on December 3, 1894 in Vailima, Samoa, following a stroke.

Long John Silver The dangerous one-legged man who works as a cook on the Hispaniola and leads the mutineers’ attack against Captain Smollett’s men.

Captain Billy Bones A tall, strong, heavy, and drunken man with a sabre1 cut across his right cheek who comes to the Admiral Benbow Inn with an old sea-chest2.

A calm, composed man who decides to take Jim on the voyage. He is also a close friend of the Hawkins family.

Squire3 JohnTrelawney A close associate of Dr Livesey. He is the person who arranges and finances the voyage to Treasure Island. The novel Treasure Island is set in two separate locations in the mid-18th century. The book opens at the Admiral Benbow, a small seaside inn located near Bristol on the Southwestern coast of England. It is at the Admiral Benbow Inn where Jim, at the request of Dr Livesey and Squire Trelawney, records the story of their journey to Treasure Island. Most of the novel, however, takes place on Treasure Island and the ocean that surrounds it. The island is a huge stretch of land in the West Indies, inhabited mostly by wild animals and birds. Most of the island is covered with grey woods, filled with tall trees and hills.

TREASURE ISLAND

EPISODE

Billy Bones

y name is Jim Hawkins and my story begins at the Admiral Benbow Inn, a guest house owned by my parents on the south west coast of England. I remember the pirate Captain Billy Bones very well. One day he walked in through the door of the inn – a big, brown-skinned old man, his long dirty hair tied back1 in a pigtail and a nasty2 scar on his cheek. He was dragging3 an enormous sea-chest behind him. He shouted fiercely, “I want a room!” and threw some gold coins on the floor. “Tell me when I’ve worked through that!” During his stay he often asked if any seafaring4 men had stopped at the inn, and every day, sun or rain, he climbed to the top of the cliff and looked out to sea using his brass telescope5. In the evenings, he sat beside the fire and told us terrible stories of shipwrecks6 and sang old pirate songs. It wasn’t long before I started to understand the reason for this strange behaviour. “Listen here, Jim!” he said to me one morning, “I’ll give you a penny a month if you keep your eyes peeled for7 a one-legged man!” How the man with one leg haunted my dreams! On stormy nights I saw him in a thousand forms. Sometimes his leg was cut off at the knee, sometimes at the thigh8. In my nightmares, he chased9 me, calling out my name and hopping on his good leg. He was always just behind me. Bones stayed for several months at the inn but never offered any extra payment. It was during this period that my father fell ill and died. The day after my father’s funeral, I was standing at the door feeling 1 2 3 4 5

very sad when I saw a blind man slowly walking up the road, tapping10 the ground with a stick. As he came near, he called out, “I am Blind Pew! Can you please tell me where I am?” “You’re at the Admiral Benbow Inn,” I explained. “Please give me your hand and take me in!” I gave him my hand, and the blind man gripped11 it hard. I struggled to escape but he pulled me towards him.

Comprehension 1 1. Read and listen to the story, then match the sentences.

“Now, you listen to me, boy,” the blind man growled12, “take me to Billy Bones. If you don’t, I’ll break your arm!” I obeyed him without further hesitation. I took him to the room where the captain was resting. When he saw Pew, he turned pale. The blind man put a piece of paper into his hand, left the inn and went back along the road, his stick tapping as he hurried away.

Mutiny! 15 ”and with that he crashed to the floor. I hurried to assist him, but it was too late. He was dead. My mother and I decided to open the captain’s seachest and take the money he owed us. But it was locked – we had to find the key. I searched the dead man’s pockets, but I could not find it. “Perhaps it’s round his neck,” suggested my mother anxiously.
