“Cooking a casserole is enough to revive the soul…” 

Jamie Oliver

• Do you prefer to cook or to eat?

• Are there special recipes that have been passed down through your family for generations?  Are they the best recipes?

• If you spend time cooking, does it spoil your appetite?

FOR or AGAINST ~ Fashion … Does it really contribute to society?

Yes, it does:
1 – A good appearance makes a person look younger, feel relaxed and confident.

2 – A good appearance may help people make a better impression on social contacts.

 
No, it doesn’t:
1 – Many irresponsible young people are crazy about fashion.

2 – Fashion appeals only to those who don’t have a real sense of beauty.

Pick a side, join forces and come to Hallo! for an hour of conversation debating and discussing your point of view.  See you then!

“If I had a penny for every time you broke a New Years resolution, I’d be a millionaire” 

Alexander McHugh (2010)

Do you believe in New Years Resolutions?  Do you make them?

What do you think is a good idea for a New Years Resolution?

What was the News Years Resolution you stuck to the most? And which one was the most rewarding for you?

What do you think is the most popular resolution in Italy?  In England, we try to quit smoking, go on a diet, and join the gym!  But does it last…..??

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing a beautiful country, for it will not come to find you”

(Ernest Hemingway)

If you could take one thing from five different countries, and put them together to make your own perfect paradise, what would they be and where would they be from?

 What is the most beautiful country you have ever visited?  What made it so beautiful for you?

Remember to include: cuisine, weather and language.

The written word is a powerful form of communication and it has the capability to connect generations, enhance history and create vital feelings.

Before the written word, however,  body gestures were used as a means of communication.

BODY LANGUAGE  – essential, important, necessary  –  so why am I getting a blank stare?!?! Now that I understand ‘their’ expressions, phrasal verbs, idioms and hand gestures, how do I get ‘them’ to understand mine as an Italian???  Bring all of your Italian jokes, proverbs, body language and their meaning to discover the beauty of your own language!
