HSK1  第五课  她女儿今年二十岁

Oggi andiamo in Calabria perché è una di quelle “famose” regioni di cui non si parla mai. Questo è l’ossimoro che stavo cercando: è famosa perché non se ne parla mai! Sembra uno scherzo.
Ma non lo è. Infatti questa regione rimane sconosciuta per la maggior parte di noi e dei turisti stranieri. Nessuno pensa di organizzare una vacanza lì. 
Il perché credo che sia da ricercare nella scarsità delle strutture ricettive, e non tanto nel territorio. Magari anche perché non è ben collegata con i treni o gli aerei.
Forse anche nella scarsa promozione: il marketing nei social media oggi è fondamentale. Se non metti niente su Instagram o Tik tok non sei nessuno! 
Comunque ve la descrivo un po’ geograficamente: ci sono delle belle montagne al centro, l’altipiano della Sila e i suoi parchi nazionali, con fitti boschi dove si raccolgono i funghi porcini più buoni d’Italia. Vogliamo considerare le città? Catanzaro è il capoluogo, ma la più grande è Reggio Calabria, famosa per il Museo della Magna Grecia e i Bronzi di Riace. Anche nelle altre cittadine, Crotone, Vibo Valentia e Cosenza ci sono ancora molte testimonianze del passaggio dei greci.Cos’altro aggiungere? Ah si: la produzione del tonno in scatola Callipo, azienda nata nel 1913 e ancora attiva; e quella dei panettoni Colavolpe, fatti con i fichi secchi.
Per i più coraggiosi consiglio di provare la ‘nduja, un salame piccantissimo che si può spalmare sul pane. Lo sapete, si, che i calabresi sono famosi per il consumo altissimo di peperoncino?!Ma posso chiedere alla mia insegnante di swing, calabrese doc, se lei mangia tanto peperoncino.
Ciao Ligheia,
Mangi tanto peperoncino?
Dove sei nata?
Hai studiato lì?
Andavi in vacanza lì?
Un cibo che ti fa sentire calabrese.
E qualcosa che NON ti fa sentire calabrese.
Secondo te sarebbe bene fare il ponte sullo Stretto?
Ma è vero che esiste una rivalità con i siciliani?

Talent is important, especially when you have dreams and goals. However, talent alone won't bring you anywhere. It is because you need work ethics too. In this podcast, I will share some personal insights about talent vs. hard work.

HARD WORK BEATS TALENT IF TALENT DOES NOT WORK HARD

JAMES:  Good morning, Professor Austin, how are you doing?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Good morning, James. I am doing well. And you?
JAMES: I’m great, thank you. This is my friend Emma. She 
is thinking about applying to this college. She has a 
few questions. Would you mind telling us about the 
process, please?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Hello, Emma! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m more 
than happy to speak with you. Please stop by my office 
next week.
EMMA: It’s a pleasure to meet you, professor. Thank you so 
much for helping us.
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Don’t mention it. Hopefully, I will be able to answer 
your questions!

LANGUAGE NOTES
• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times 
of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when 
the sun has set.
• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. 
Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.
• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A 
handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which 
allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”
• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are 
welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it./No problem./
Happy to help. are informal ways of responding to a thank you.
