1. Objective

By the end, you will recognise and explain “Understanding an Albanian documentary text” in natural Albanian examples.

2. I discover

Find the topic, the services offered and the social aim of the community centre.

3. I understand

In an Albanian documentary text, start with the topic, then identify key information, examples and cause or consequence links.

Një lagje e qytetit ka kthyer një ndërtesë të vjetër në qendër komunitare.Brenda saj ndodhen një bibliotekë e vogël, një sallë takimesh dhe hapësira pune.Banorët mund t’i përdorin hapësirat pa pagesë për aktivitete jo-komerciale.Një pjesë e mobilieve është restauruar nga vetë vullnetarët.Qendra synon të krijojë më shumë mundësi për takime mes banorëve.Çdo muaj publikohet një kalendar me aktivitetet e planifikuara.

Watch out

Do not turn an inference into a fact. Explicit information must be traceable to the text; an inference must be justified.
