What is a "Sob Story"?

“Well I'm certainly not a photography geek, but I do like to take photos now and again using my smartphone camera. I remember about a year ago I went on a trip to Phu Quoc, which is a very beautiful island in the south of Vietnam, and famous for its amazing sunsets. 




I guess like most tourists, I really wanted to get that perfect shot of one of the island's famous sunsets. I remember, I first did some research online to try and find out the best spots to photograph the sunset on the island. After deciding on what I thought would be the best location, I made sure to get there early as I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.




The sunset certainly wasn’t a letdown, and lived up to its reputation.

I don’t actually remember how many shots I took, but I’m sure it was at least a few dozen, and I just hoped that even a few of them would do it justice.

After I got back to my hotel room, I started going through all the photos I had taken on my phone, and there was one that really stood out. It was the perfect shot, and really captured the beauty of the sun setting over the beach, with the sea in the background. 




I felt proud as punch when i looked at it, and couldn’t wait to post it on my social media account, for the world to see. Within just a few minutes I started to receive lots of likes and complementary comments on the post, which really made me feel so proud of it.

Ciao a tutti! Oggi vi racconto il sogno che ho fatto stanotte, non vi preoccupate, nulla di erotico! Colgo l'occasione per farvi notare alcune differenze fra l'inglese e l'italiano nell'utilizzo di alcuni verbi come realizzare o alcune espressioni che sono simili in entrambe le lingue ma che vengono usati in contesti diversi! Buon ascolto a tutti e buon inizio settimana!!! 
P.S 
l'espressione stringere i denti che utilizzo alla fine, significa resistere, con lo stesso significato si potrebbe utilizzare anche l'espressione: tenere duro. Esempio:
- Stringete i denti/Tenete duro fino a mercoledì! Significato > Resistete fino a mercoledì! 
Buona settimana a tutti e buono studio!
