Final outcome (80 points):

An interview with a tutor via Skype. The student should interact with
his/her tutor in the same way he/she would do in real life.
Example of the interview:
Topic 1
A: Tell me Leonardo, what do you think, what will the world look like in the
year 2050?
B: I think the world’s population will reach 9 billion in 2050. The
overpopulation will affect mostly the developing world, as it always
does. The challenge of feeding such a rapidly growing population will be
aggravated by climate change.
A: Do you think the world will be warmer in the year 2050 than today?
B: Yes, I think the global warming will increase in the future and natural
resources, such as clean water, will run out. But there will be some
positive aspects in the future too; some technical advances will be also
reached. In my opinion, NASA will organize an expedition to Mars in
2050 and the computers will achieve human capabilities.
