欧盟European Union13日召开能源部长会议，虽然“会议超时数小时”，但是各成员国the member states未能就天然气限价方案达成共识。
欧盟成员国此前一直在设置天然气价格上限方面存在分歧。德国、奥地利和荷兰等国对相关方案有异议，认为限价price caps会导致欧洲急需much-needed的天然气向其他市场转移divert to，扰乱能源市场的运作。但希腊、比利时、意大利和波兰等国提出相反的意见，要求设定价格上限，以保护其经济免受高能源价格的影响。

Life’s hardships are inevitable and we’ll all be put through the wringer at some point, often through no fault of our own.
Don’t let these challenges alter your feelings of self-worth. You’ll always be enough; you have something unique and special to give and offer the world.

The Value of Money (Inspiring Short Story about Self-Worth)

Buongiorno, come va?
Buon lunedì.

Sabato sono stata un po’ al mare, con mia zia che è inglese, sua figlia, mia cugina Michelle, e un’amica di mia cugina.

Dopo ore di chiacchiere, questo è quello che ne è uscito fuori.

Italiano autentico, parlato da un’italiana espatriata, un’inglese in Italia, e un’italiana espatriata e tornata.

Invio due versioni dell’audio, perchè mi sono resa conto che non abbiamo parlato proprio un italiano standard.
Una più lenta e una normale.

E la trascrizione e delle domande a cui rispondere.

Tu quale ascolterai?

Mi sembrava interessante confrontare queste tre realtà contrapposte.

A presto,

Simona
