Ok tomorrow I'll scan something for you! May I ask why you are interested?
What you can provide will be welcome !

Hi Marco
how often have you maths test?
More or less one written test every month and two or three oral tests every term.

I'm going to cook some fried artichokes, do you like it?
I've never tasted them before but they sound good!

@ marcosocio . I would be interested in seeing some Physics test you did in the past .
Unfortunately my teacher doesn't allow us to keep the multiple choices as she fears we'll pass them to our mates from other classes. She says she can't always invent something new (and she's probably right). However I should have one of them that she exceptionally let me photocopy. Instead I have got all the problems of the "second part".

Hi zero
Here it doesn't stop snowing!

What are your tests like?
My Maths tests are always about solving problems and some equations according to the topic we are studying. My teacher tends to make us reason more than count and I appreciate it!
For Physics, instead, our tests are always split in two parts: the first one is a multiple choice (the terror of us all) while the second one consists of usually 3 or 4 "open" problems to be solved.

In a previous post with marcosocio we talk about the fact that proper noun hasn't to be traslated in English. Well, it's not a mistake, but there are correct both forms. Isn't it?
Yes, both are correct. My teacher once explained a method not properly "scientific" but effective: talking about cities, if it is famous translate it, otherwise don't
"gio73":
Hi Zero, how are you?
Hi gio73, I'm fine, thanks. How are you? How about snow?
"gio73":
What are you doing?
My little town isn't Genoa, I live in the interland.
I study my dissertation: I have to improve the exposition for the discussion. I said Genova (sorry, but if I write Genoa, I always think the soccer team
) because in a previous discussion you said "I teach math in Genoa" o something similar to that.In a previous post with marcosocio we talk about the fact that proper noun hasn't to be traslated in English. Well, it's not a mistake, but there are correct both forms. Isn't it?

I consider visiting this forum a different way to study, am I wrong?
It's the same for me.
"marcosocio":
I've always wondered, how long does it take you teachers to prepare a test? And to correct it? My teacher sometimes says she stays up till midnight correcting our tests!
Well, I never do my homeworks after dinner since I was a student. I am very lazy, so I immediatly check the tests (without marks, I hate give marks!), then I deliver tests at students for checking the mistakes, after that I write the marks.
How long is this work? It is depends by test's kind. There are some kinds:
1) structured tests, for example: multiple answers, filling the gaps... this kind is faster to check than
2) free tests: problem solving, algebra's calcolus...
I like the 2 kind, the my students too.
What are your tests like?
Ps I teach at middle school.
Here has been snowing more and more since this morning but the forecast said tomorrow it will be over. I wouldn't mind if my school closed due to the snow for another couple of days
"gio73":
Good morning Marco, and good morning at/to (?) all other users, too.
(and before)

Good evening users, in my town it started to snow!
This morning at 8:00 I saw in TG5 that there was a journalist calling of the snowfall on Genova.
She said "this morning at six 'o clock began to snow like the previous weather forecast said" and talk about port and streets.
Good afternoon forum users (does the word "forumists" exist?).

Are you at home, Marco? We are at home for carnival holidays, my husband is out in the garden with our sons: they are playing with snow balls. In the night the snow is grown thirty cm. It is white all and the sounds are soft: wonderfull!
Good morning also to you Gio. Yes, I'm at home and my garden too is covered with snow but I'm not playing with snow balls mainly because I'm alone but also because I should study Physics as I have a test on Friday... But, as you can see, I'm sitting in front of my PC

Sorry for the late answer, I went to Venice's carnival on Saturday (and I had to recover on Sunday).
[quote="marcosocio"]The first reason that comes to my mind is money: I think that studying abroad is far more expensive. Then the distance: how is it being away from your family and friends? An finally the language: I suppose you attended courses spoken in English, didn't you? As I said before, I like this language but I don't know if my level would be enough to study for such a difficult purpose. Given that, it's just about considering if these three issues are worth the more valuable certification you get.
It largely depends on the country you move to, but studying abroad is not far more expensive. In my case, the biggest difference was that in Italy I did not pay a rent, since I lived with my parents (but even in Italy many people move to another city to study). All other expenses (food, fun...) were roughly the same. Moreover, you might get additional scholarships (namely, the Erasmus one) if you are in an exchange program. I even got complete rent and flights refund by my Italian university (unfortunately they do not do that any more).
There are many ways to stay in touch with people in Italy: internet video calls, for instances. Your friends could also come and visit you, if you did not move extremely far, or you could go back home for holidays. You could also stay there for a shorter time, like six months. You shall also make new friends abroad.
If I remember correctly, you are still in high school. Most universities, at least in Europe, hold courses in English at master's level. You have plenty of time to get proficient in this language (and, possibly, others). Besides, for advanced subjects, even in Italy untranslated English books are often used.[/quote]
Ok thank you for the advice. Before deciding for my master's I'll have to choose where to study for my bachelor so I have another question for you: if I had to study Maths, for instance, will it be worth going to Pisa, Padova or Milan instead of staying here in Turin?

I think it is quite popular in Mexico, but also known in USA. No idea if they have anything similar in UK.

I don't know about "pentolaccia" but I know that there isn't a carnival like ours in England. For example they are on holiday for more days at Halloween.
