Four things I have learned as a language assistant in Italy

1. How to be self-sufficient (自立的)

Living in a foreign country is definitely difficult, but doing things such as going shopping and opening a bank account abroad can make you more confident in relying on yourself. 1

2. A new viewpoint on my home country

2 Working in Italy, I've realised how differently they do things here, and in some ways it's given me a deeper appreciation of my home country. For example, in Italy, spending time with friends and family is just as important as going to work and concentrating on a career. I think I should take a leaf out of the Italians' book. 3 3. A better idea of what to do in life

My experience in Italy has inspired my love for travel and writing articles for various student and travel magazines has made me rediscover my passion for writing. 4

4. A love of art, history and culture

Italy is a country so rich in history that it's easy to become a lover of the stories of how this wonderful country came to be. 5 As a country steeped in religion, Italy has religious art almost everywhere. I already enjoyed art and history before I came to Italy, but coming here has definitely made me love them more deeply. A. Art is also a large part of Italian culture. B. I will enjoy the time I have with my family more.

C. It's rare in Italy to have native language teachers in schools. D. But there are many positives that I will take from Italian life.

E. I am also enjoying teaching, and my love for teaching has also been strengthened. F. Even using Italian to buy a few tomatoes has brought me a real sense of

achievement.

G. It's natural when you're in a foreign country to compare it to the one you come from.

Several ways I get motivated to do housework

● Set my timer! I have developed a habit of setting my timer when I'm doing my Monday once-over or my daily tidying routines. 1 When my timer goes off and I look around, it just proves that housework does not need to be an all-day unpleasant experience.

● Start with the easiest task to get some motivation. Mine is usually folding the blanket on the sofa, straightening the pillows and picking up the toys in the living room.

● 2 If I can clear off the dining room table, then I'll clean off that counter top. And so on. And so forth.

● Talk on the phone. 3 Talking on the phone makes chores go so much faster and suddenly the bathroom has also been cleaned!

● Promise myself a reward. It's usually a cup of high-quality coffee. 4 By the time I've finished my routine, I usually feel so good that I don't even enjoy my reward.

● Use TV commercials. If I'm having a truly terrible and tiring day, I do what I call the commercial method. 5 Then during commercials, I force myself to get up and to do a little 5-minute something. A. Last time it was a cookie. B. Deal with one tiny zone at a time. C. Listen to my favorite music while working. D. I love to see if I can beat my previous records. E. I allow myself to lay around and watch TV all day. F. I put on my earphone and call my sister to catch up. G. I'm never on the phone with my sister for just 15 minutes.

C

Talk shows are television programs in which a host sits down with entertainers, newsmakers, and other people, to talk. 1 This type of program, sometimes known as a chat show, was one of the earliest formats (形式) created for television. Early hosts, such as Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Steve Allen, and Garry Moore, combined interviews with short humorous pieces of acting, musical performances, and improvised (即兴创作) audience participation. 2 The audience would be entertained by the anecdotes of the stars or the improvised funny remarks of the host.

By the late 1960s, the format became more focused on the interviews themselves. Hosts such as Dick Cavett, David Frost, Mike Douglas, and Tom Snyder all became household names through their personal interview styles. Guests on these programs were encouraged to do more than simply promote an upcoming film or musical album. Cavett and Snyder were especially skillful at the “talking heads (发言者头部特写)” format. 3 By the 1980s, the talk show format had once again changed from academic interviews to aggressive arguments, with hosts such as Jerry Springer, Phil Donahue, Maury Povich, and Oprah Winfrey often booking controversial guests. Several of the controversial shows did not last for long. 4 Modern talk shows are usually run at night hosted by such names as David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, and Craig Ferguson. They are often a combination of musical performances, audience interaction, and short celebrity (名人) interviews. Celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres or Rachael Ray often host talk shows, since they can be produced quickly. 5 A. Therefore, they won't affect the talents' other work. B. There are a wide variety of talk shows on television. C. Local television stations also produce their own versions. D. They drew their guests into lengthy academic discussions. E. Others focus on a discussion between the host and the guest.

F. The key was to invite popular stars for live interviews with an intelligent host.

G. Others changed their formats back to the traditionally friendly guest / host relationship.

D

How to Bring a Friendship Back

Whether from lifestyle adjustment, conflict, or the development of different interests, everyone sees a friendship fade from time to time. Maybe you've come around and want to see an old disagreement solved. 1 Fortunately, there are clear and constructive steps you can take to indicate your interest in reconnecting and begin the process of bringing a friendship back.

Take the first step.

2 If you want to reconnect, make yourself available and invite your friend to meet with you. A phone call or an email is quick, easy, and respectful way to convey your interest in speaking or spending time together.

3 The depth of your previous friendship, and the degree to which you've grown apart are important factors (因素) when considering how you should approach an old friend. For example, if you simply haven't seen or spoken with someone in a while, reach out casually. A message on an online media platform that you both use may work.

Don't worry about how long it's been.

Don't feel as though your friendship has ended or become less important. Friendships often change when people get married, move, or have kids. If you're missing an old friend, there's a good chance your friend misses you as well. 4 Be persistent (坚持不懈的), but not over-eager.

If your friend doesn't respond, you can try to convey your hopes to reconnect again. 5 Allow time in between contact. If they simply don't respond, accept the fact that they may not be ready or willing to reconnect at present. A. Don't rush though. B. Reach out in the right way.

C. Don't wait for your friend to reach out.

D. It is always appropriate to try to reconnect.

E. The more personal approach will indicate your interest in reconnecting. F. Maybe you simply want to reduce the distance between you and an old friend. G. Take care not to make them feel as though they are under pressure to respond. 参考答案
