Teaching idea: Use recorded calls and simulated phone conversations to teach pragmatics, question forms, and useful collocations (flat tyre, jump-start, tow truck). For homework, Marco asked students to write a one-page narrative titled “A Day with the Giulietta.” The assignment required past-tense narration, descriptive adjectives, and at least three conditional sentences (If I had more time, I would…). Students wrote about road trips, family memories, and city commutes. In feedback, Marco emphasized varied sentence structures and richer vocabulary, replacing simple adjectives with more precise choices (scarlet instead of red, nimble instead of fast).
