Interview role-play
Develop work and study through a focused speaking itinerary.
Speaking task
Record a 90–120 second interview role-play for the fictional Centro Civico Ponte assistant role. Take both roles or ask a partner to be the interviewer. The interviewer asks why Maya applied, what she did at Biblioteca Faro, how she handled the changed workshop time, and when she can work. As Maya, use only the vacancy and CV facts. Use dovevo for a repeated duty, ho dovuto for one completed obligation, and one clause with che or con cui. End with one useful question about the training; do not claim that the role has been offered.
- Perché vorrebbe lavorare con noi?· Why would you like to work with us?
- Ogni mese dovevo controllare il calendario.· Each month I had to check the calendar.
- Una volta ho dovuto avvisare tutti gli iscritti.· Once I had to notify all registered people.
- La coordinatrice con cui lavoravo mi ha aiutata.· The coordinator I worked with helped me.
Performance and self-check
Plan four questions and short answers. Speak once, then replay the recording. Check that the candidate gives one concrete action and result, distinguishes a repeated duty from a single event, answers the availability question honestly, and asks about the software she still needs to learn. Repeat without reading full sentences.
- Ho controllato gli indirizzi e ho telefonato a chi non rispondeva.· I checked the addresses and called people who did not reply.
- Sono disponibile il sabato mattina.· I am available on Saturday mornings.
- Non ho ancora usato quel programma di prenotazione.· I have not used that booking software yet.
- Con chi potrei fare pratica nei primi giorni?· Who could I practise with in the first days?
