Andare a capo

Hi to everybody,
mi sono sempre chiesta (non so come si dice in inglese) how works in english language " andare a capo"
I found these rules surfing on the net.
Teacher, are they right ? Of if you have some simple rules to share with us I'll be happy.

Elenco le più importanti. 

Divisione per sillaba: la parola viene divisa in sillabe o unità di suono. Esempio: important / im-por-tant; thinking / think-ing. 

Divisione per struttura: la parola viene divisa nelle unità di significato più piccole dalle quali la parola è costruita. Può avere un prefisso come un-, dis-, im- etc o un suffisso come -able, -fully. Esempio: desirable / de-sir-able, disinterest / dis-interest. 

Altre regole sono: mai dividere una parola che abbia meno di cinque lettere; mai dividere una parola di una sola sillaba; mai dividere una parola così che una parte sia formata da una sola lettera; mai dividere una parola che termini con -ed, -er, -ic (eccezione -ly); mai dividere un suffisso di due sillabe.

2) Visto che la cosa interessa, ecco in breve le regole corrette per sillabare in Inglese. 
Si dividono le due consonanti mediane. Per esempio: hap-pen, bas-ket, let-ter, sup-per, din-ner e Den-nis. 
Le uniche eccezioni sono i gruppi di consonanti "th", "sh", "ph", "th", "ch" e "wh", dato che rappresentano solo un suono. Quando c'è solo una sillaba finale, di solito si divide davanti a essa, come in: "o-pen", " i-tem ", " e-vil " e " re-port" (qui la vocale ha il suono alfabetico "ou" "ai" "i"). Le uniche eccezioni sono quando nella prima sillaba la vocale ha un suono breve, come in "cab-in" dove la vocale deve rimanere tra consonanti per mantenere il suono. Si divide prima della consonante antecedente alla sillaba " - le". Per esempio: "a-ble", "fum-ble", "rub-ble" "mum-ble" and "thi-stle". L'unica eccezione sono le parole in "ckle" "come tick-le". Si separano parole composte, prefissi, suffissi e radici che hanno suoni di vocale. Si dividono le parti di parole composte come "sports-car" e "house-boat". 
Si separano prefissi come "un-happy", "pre-paid", o "re-write". Si separano anche suffissi come nelle parole "farm-er", "teach-er", "hope-less" and "care-ful". Il suffisso "ing" va per conto proprio, per es. "go-ing" o "speak-ing" con l'eccezione di parole come "stop-ping" e simili, dove il suffisso diventa "ping" perché questa parola segue la regola che quando si aggiunge "- ing" a una parola monosillabica, si raddoppia l'ultima consonante e si aggiunge "- ing ". Stessa cosa con il suffisso "-ed" del passato.

Little Story- To Do , To make

MY LITTLE STORY

Hello! My name is Monica and I'm 55 years old.
I' m a physical education teacher since 1983.
I'm fond of rithmic gymnastic because I won the World Championships in Madrid on November 20th 1975.
 In the same time Franco died! My best target... during the cold war! (The U.S.S.R didn't compete in this world championship).
 I tell my students these historical facts I lived!
When I was 18 , I began my career as coach of the Italian team, until the 1983. I was been a judge and then, for eight years, I was the manager of the Lombardia region (with Maccarani- the actually italian coach -we won the silver medal at the junior european championships).
When my wonderfull daugthers where six and four, I had to make a choice : family or career?
Obviously I chose my family and ,at that moment , my work was only teaching physical education at school.
I'm keen on my job and I love my pupils.
Teaching is my bread and butter, but I know that I have to improve my knownledge every year...
...but...
on my sunday time ... (after my daily school planning)... I feel like a desperate housewife:
...”I'll do my english homework or I do the ironing”???
......THAT'S THE QUESTION, MY FRIENDS!

A few reminders

Hello everyone,

have you recharged your batteries? I hope so!

Just a few reminders:

1.      our blog: personally, I need to know better – from a technical point of view – what to do to upload different kinds of documents. I thank Silvia Cataudella for having written a message explaining ‘how to create a new post’. I’m also very happy to see  that one of us has uploaded two maps, the PowerPoint presentation I prepared for our first class and the video ‘Inglesi che vanno in Italia’ to our blog! I would like to do the same thing soon. If we meet let’s say at 4:45 p.m. on Monday, will Silvia be able to show everyone how to find their way around our virtual place? As for me, this is the last time I email you: from next time onwards I’ll be posting our blog in the hope of  keeping it thriving!

2.      The holiday brochures: How many brochures will you bring to class on Monday? I haven’t received any so far. Never mind: if you couldn’t make time for realising glossy brochures, you can still use the ones you were given last time before Easter.

3.      The syllabus: I’ve written a comprehensive chart illustrating the three units we will go through together before the end of the course. I’ve just emailed you a copy.

4.      Weekly quotes and riddles: I’m earnestly convinced (even though some might think I am a little naïve) that if everyone of us does their part, we could make our world a much better place. What about choosing inspiring quotes from men of science, men of letters, artists, and philosophers and illustrating their significance for mankind?

This is the quote I would like to share with you next time:

 “L’amour lie, et il lie à jamais. La pratique du bien est une liaison, la pratique du mal une déliaison. La séparation est l’autre nom du mal; c’est, également, l’autre nom du mensonge. Il n’existe en effet 

qu’un entrelacement magnifique, immense et réciproque.”

 “Love binds, and it binds for ever. Good binds, while evil unravels. Separation is another word for evil; it is also another word for deceit. All that exists is a magnificent interweaving, vast and 

reciprocal.”

(Michel Houellebecq – Les particules élémentaires)

Have you ever read any novels by Michel Houellebecq?

Enjoy you weekend! See you on Monday.

I’m looking forward to having feedback from you on the syllabus.
