Unit 9 Review and Practice
Welcome to the Unit 9 review! In this lesson, we will consolidate key vocabulary and sentence structures about the environment, society, and current affairs in Italy.
Key Environmental Vocabulary
- L'ambiente (Environment)
- La sostenibilità (Sustainability)
- I rifiuti (Waste)
- La raccolta differenziata (Recycling / separated waste collection)
Social Issues & Current Affairs
When discussing modern society, we often talk about progress and challenges:
- La cittadinanza (Citizenship)
- Il volontariato (Volunteering)
- La disuguaglianza (Inequality)
- Il cambiamento climatico (Climate change)
Useful Sentence Patterns
We use specific structures to express necessity, opinions, and concern regarding social and environmental problems:
- È necessario che + subjunctive (It is necessary that...)
- Dobbiamo fare di più per ___ (We must do more for/to...)
Common Mistake: Remember that after expressions like è necessario che, you must use the subjunctive mood in Italian, not the indicative!
