Hello teacher it's possible that I don't understand like to utilize this blog?
Yesterday I wrote about day's normal but I don't know if it's correct the send my e-mail.
You ask me What do you do?
well, I clock in at 8.00. and I check in magazine for verify whats was product in the night and If was ok. Then I meet a quality operator that tell me if there are a problem.
I meet mr lisanto and I inform him about the material ok.
During the morning I controll if I must contact some customer or if there are particolar work to do.
The morning is not always usual because the day changes continuously because of production, line problem, or because I must to call a customer o director line...
I clock out at 18.00 if possible but if necessary a quality operator call me.
Teacher now I goodbye, I go to home.

Well done Alessandra! at last ....we managed to publish it!

Un paio di note sull'elaborato...

- check in magazine ???? (controllo le riviste??) :-)

- a quality operator (uno qualunque o piuttosto "the quality operator"

- to controll
"To check" is to make sure, to examine: could you check if we have paid the right amount? I asked the garage to check the brakes.

"To control" means 'to direct': to control the traffic; the firemen had difficulty in controlling the fire. Another definition of 'control' is 'to limit/to regulate': to control the imports of foreign cars.

- Usual.... vorresti dire "the same"

- il modale must è seguito dall'infinito senza il to

Maria Rosaria, you seem to have a nice relaxing life ...

Osservazioni
- I tell her (her??) who is her? In inglese la forma di cortesia è comunque espressa con il pronome "you"
- I found this forum about overdue invoices ..... potrebbe essere interessante leggere qualche hints..
http://www.startups.co.uk/6678842910807150579/overdue-invoices-how-to-get-em-to-pay-up.html

- you don't order bank transfer but you instruct your bank to make a bank transfer
- dopo il modale "must" l'infinito non vuole il "to" ...
