Opinion mission
Review the complete Tappa and complete the opinions and reactions mission.
Cumulative retrieval
Answer the quiz without notes first. Check your use of present and past subjunctive after opinion, doubt, and evaluation. Then return to the two reviews and the film-club dialogue for evidence.
- Penso che il finale sia efficace.· I think the ending works.
- Non credo che tutti abbiano cambiato idea.· I do not think everyone changed their mind.
- Mi sorprende che gli autori abbiano lasciato il ragazzo senza una storia.· I am surprised the writers left the young man without a story.
- Capisco la critica, però vedo un dettaglio diverso.· I understand the criticism, but I see a different detail.
Final communication mission
You lead the next film-club meeting on La luce in piazza. Record a two-minute opening for the members. Compare Giulia’s positive review with Marco’s doubts, give one scene that supports each view, state your own judgement, and ask the group a question that could start discussion. Use a present subjunctive for a current evaluation and a past subjunctive for a completed choice made by the characters or writers. Members must hear where the reviews differ, not just your final preference.
- Giulia pensa che la scena in piazza sia piena di vita.· Giulia thinks the square scene is full of life.
- Marco dubita che gli autori abbiano sviluppato il ragazzo abbastanza.· Marco doubts that the writers developed the young man enough.
- Voi come interpretate la signora che resta vicino alla porta?· How do you interpret the woman who stays by the door?
- Secondo me, entrambe le recensioni hanno un punto valido.· In my view, both reviews make a valid point.
