There's the EU site in Italian and English to practise your translation skills and
learn the right vocabulary and phraseology for international
relations
So
if you need to expand your knowledge of basic grammar and
international relations vocabulary, go to the EU site where you will
find the 2018 EU General Report (154 pages). If
clicking on a link here doesn't work or is very slow, just copy and
paste the link onto Google search.
then
download the pdf format in both Italian and English
This
will give you more than 150 pages of Italian to translate into
English! Open the Italian and English texts on different pages. Translate from Italian to English orally line by line, moving from the Italian to the English text to check. Make notes on your vocabulary and grammar errors. Note any spelling you need to remember.. You can also download the French, Spanish or German
versions.
And
here's the 2017 General Report (130 pages)
And
here's the 2016 General Report (104 pages)
You
can also get the General Reports for 2015 (96 pages) and 2014 (288
pages!)
Remember,
if
you prefer, you can go straight to the English version of the 2018 EU
General Report or other texts on the EU site or UN site and simply
start taking notes on common expressions used in diplomatic English.
See my future post about the UN website for a little more information

There's also the FAO in Italian and English to practise your translation skills

errors. Note any spelling you need to remember.
