MLI - KEY MID- MODULE TEST

Cloze Text

The sexual abuse scandal currently embroiling media mogul Harvey Weinstein has stunned the United States, with Hollywood and the fashion industry declaring that “this way of treating women ends now.”As an Argentinean woman who studies gender in the media, I find it hard to be surprised by Weinstein’s misdeeds. Machismo remains deeply ingrained in Latin American society, yes, but even female political leaders in supposedly gender-equal paradises like Holland and Sweden have told me that they are criticized more in the press and held to a higher standard than their male counterparts.

However, there are some positive moves being made to change the current mindset. Even before it was forced to reckon with allegations that Harvey Weinstein had also harassed women in London, the United Kingdom was making political progress on the issue of women’s portrayal in the media. In July, the United Kingdom’s Advertising Standards Authority announced that the U.K. will soon prohibit commercials that promote gender stereotypes.“While advertising is only one of many factors that contribute to unequal gender outcomes,” its press release stated, “tougher advertising standards can play an important role in tackling inequalities and improving outcomes for individuals, the economy and society as a whole.”As of 2018, the agency says, advertisements in which women are shown as solely responsible for household cleaning or men appear useless around kitchen appliances and unable to handle taking care of their children and dependents will not pass muster in the U.K. Commercials that differentiate between girls’ and boys’ toys based on gender stereotypes will be banned as well.

 

Translation  -  

Burglars broke into a family home in Melbourne, Australia on the morning of 6^th November. They wanted to  get away  with  as much  as they  could and, as well as an iPad,  a laptop and some jewelry, they  also made off with Sasha, an  eight- week –old Labrador puppy. Sasha’s disappearance was reported to  the police by  her owners who  were devastated by  the loss and this was  especially true  for Maia,  Sasha’s devoted four –year- old human  “sibling”. This is why the police in Victoria did all  they  could to get the pet back; they posted photos on social  media and even  got the national  press involved. The burglars  saw the photos of the pup  that  had gone viral and, remorse moved them  to give the dog back  to  the family. The family had previously given a series of interviews   in which  they  explained that  they  had only had the dog for a week prior to  the burglary and that her poor health meant that  her return  to  the family was a matter of urgency.

D.      Put the following text into  English

Si sono introdotti in casa di una famiglia di Melbourne, Australia, nella mattinata di lunedì 6 novembre, con l'intenzione di portare via quanti più oggetti possibili, ma insieme a un iPad, un computer portatile e dei gioielli , i ladri hanno rapito anche Sasha, una cucciola di labrador di sole 8 settimane. La scomparsa della piccola cucciola  è stata denunciata e pianta amaramente dai suoi padroni e soprattutto dalla sua inseparabile "sorellina" umana di 4 anni, Maia. Per questo il distretto di polizia di Victoria ha fatto di tutto per recuperare l'animale domestico, pubblicando sui social la sua foto e coinvolgendo i media nazionali. I ladri hanno visto le immagini della cagnolina circolare ovunque e, presi dal rimorso, l'hanno riconsegnata alla famiglia. I proprietari di Sasha, infatti, hanno rilasciato nei giorni scorsi diverse interviste, spiegando che la cucciola di labrador era entrata nella loro casa solamente una settimana prima e che le sue condizioni di salute erano precarie, per cui il ritorno in famiglia sarebbe stato essenziale.

                                                                                                                                                                              

MLI MID MODULE TEST RESULTS - 1 st December, 2017

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS POST CAREFULLY

 MLI -  LETTORATO – ASSESSMENT

Below you will  find an  explanation of assessment criteria for lettorato exams . Please read this carefully as it will  put your mid-module test mark into perspective.
I would strongly advise you all  to  come and see your paper during my ricevimento times. 
( Next ricevimento is on Thursday, 11th January, 9,00 -11,00)
 LETTORATO : Modalità di valutazione:
 ci sono tre sessioni regolari all’anno in cui sostenere l’esame di lettorato (giugno,
settembre, gennaio) più eventuali sessioni straordinarie decise dalla facoltà. Una volta raggiunta la sufficienza (almeno 18/30) con la prova scritta, lo studente sostiene poi una prova orale con la Professoressa Wardle  , il quale potrà aumentare il voto fino a un massimo di 5 punti.
Lo studente frequentante viene esonerato dall’esame e sostiene invece una prova a metà modulo (written mid-module test) e una prova finale (written and oral end-of-module test). Nel caso in cui il voto del ‘written end-of-module test’ sia più basso del voto del ‘mid-module test’, verrà fatta la media dei due voti (fino a ‘recuperare’ un massimo di 3 punti)
p.es. mid-module: 24 + end of module: 26 = final mark: 26
mid-module: 26 + end of module: 24 = final mark: 25
mid-module: 30 + end of module: 20 = final mark 23
In ogni caso, lo studente deve raggiungere la sufficienza (18/30) sul ‘written end-of-module test’
(p.es. mid-module: 20 + end of module: 16 = NON dà un voto finale di 18).
