British place names
Is pronunciation important?
Does it annoy you when tourists mispronounce Italian words and places?

If ....
If you could change one thing about Italy, what would it be?
If you could introduce a new law, what would it be?
If you could ban something, what would you ban?
If you could change the Italian education system, what would you change?
Now it’s your turn.
George Floyd
Following the death of George Floyd, there have been protests and riots in many countries.
People have the right to protest peacefully and within the law.
Can there be any justification for violent protests?
Vocabulary:
to [organise/go on/take part in] a demonstration / a march
to demonstrate against something
to protest about something
to cross the line
to gain/lose public support
Is there any other vocabulary you know connected with protests?
