Aim of the learning journey

Mobility is a set of instructions you can fail. Rita's message is the week: a station, a cat, a plug, a workshop. It is not a speech about travel in general.

Text(s) studied

Text written for this class

Message from Rita Almeida, your host in Porto. Read it before you pack.

You arrive on Monday 12 April. Do not come to the flat first. Meet me at Sao Bento station, under the blue tiles, at 8.40 am. I will hold a red notebook. If I am not there at 8.55, call the school office, not my mother. The office opens at 8.30.

Your room is the small one, with the window on the street. The tram outside is the number 1.

It runs until midnight, not all night. Dinner is at 8 pm.

We eat fish on Monday and beans on Tuesday. Tell me before Sunday if you do not eat fish.

Do not feed the cat: he has one meal, at 7 am, and he will lie if you believe him.

Bring a plug adapter. Our plugs are not the same as yours. Do not bring a gift of chocolate: I work in a shop that sells it, and the cupboard is full. On Wednesday we visit the workshop where I repair radios, from 10 to 12. You watch. You do not open a radio.

If you forget	What the message says
the meeting point	Sao Bento, blue tiles, 8.40, red notebook
the food	fish Monday, beans Tuesday, tell her before Sunday
the cat	one meal at 7 am, he will lie

Reading and questions

Three questions

Where and at what time do you meet Rita, and who do you call if she is not there at 8.55?
Until when does tram 1 run, and what must you tell her before Sunday?
Why is chocolate a bad gift, and what are you forbidden to do in the radio workshop?

Wednesday is a visit to Rita's radio workshop. You watch from 10 to 12. Opening a radio is the mistake the message already forbids.
