Make a practical decision
Develop everyday choices through a focused speaking itinerary.
Speaking task
You are Luca at the household shop. Speak with the assistant for 60–90 seconds. Say that you need four boxes for a narrow shelf, compare PiccolaCasa with GrandeCasa, ask about stock and collection, and choose the three-pack plus one single box. Confirm the €29 total. Use «ne» to refer to the boxes or their quantity and «ci» to refer to the shop. The assistant must know exactly what to prepare for you.
- Mi servono quattro scatole piccole.· I need four small boxes.
- Ce ne sono ancora quattro in negozio?· Are there still four of them in the shop?
- Prendo una confezione da tre e una scatola singola.· I will take a pack of three and one single box.
- Ci vado domani e le ritiro di persona.· I will go there tomorrow and collect them in person.
Performance and self-check
Keep only the product sizes, prices, and stock as notes. Record the exchange. Check that the assistant can repeat the product, quantity, €29 total, and pickup plan. Repeat without reading. Check that «ne» refers to boxes and «ci» refers to the shop, not to the price.
- La confezione da tre costa ventuno euro.· The pack of three costs twenty-one euros.
- Una scatola singola costa otto euro.· One single box costs eight euros.
- Il totale è ventinove euro.· The total is twenty-nine euros.
- Ci sono cinque scatole singole in negozio.· There are five single boxes in the shop.
