			<description><![CDATA[1.	Is speaking English a problem in Italy according to you? If so, why? Certainly it is. English language is confined in our classes. There aren’t many occasions to speak English in our daily lives. Maybe things are changing. I am thinking to the WEB, to people who leave looking for a job abroad, ... Anyway for speaking a good English we should travel, and live far from Italy!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[2.	Is English spoken where you work? If so, how? At work I read a lot of texts written in English (specifications, manuals, emails, etc.) but I don’t have any direct contacts with foreign people, so I don’t have the opportunity to speak English. Occasionally I write something in English language. 3.	Do you know any Italians speaking good English? Yes, some friends of mine. They live and work abroad. 4.	What do they do? My friend Livio actually lives in Sultanate of Oman. He is a chemical engineer. He lived in England, in Holland, in the United States, in Canada, in Thailand. He speaks English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Russian and ... Mandarin, too! He’s a prodigy! 5.	How did they learn English? He made perfect his English in England, while he was majoring in Chemical Engineering. He studied in England for two years.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[6.	And you? How long have you been studying English? I have been studying English since the 1970s! Oh my God! 7.	Is there any difference after learning English in your life? I’m studying English and Spanish. Sometime I’m a little bit confused because in my mind occur foreign sentences. I “think” in foreign language. 8.	Is there anything new happening in your life? It doesn’t seem to me. Perhaps, I am more absorbed in what I’m doing. 9.	Do you like new things? What role do you think they play in one’s life? Generally I don’t like new things. They require new resources, new efforts. But, if anything happens, which is the flavour of our lives? In any case, new things happen!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mike Strevens has told his opinion that is not at all my opinion; so I prefer to tell something about my experience. Normally in school we learn the fondamental of English and this is good if we need the knowledge only to travell. Then if we think that it is important for work there are two possibility. The most important and of course very succesfull is to do three-month school in England living in a family. If it isn't possible is absolutely necessary to do an intensive three-month of school in Italy. My experience was the first and I spent two summer in Davies's school living in family. After in my job was very important because for 25 years I worked in the hotel industry. Regarding the knowledge of English young Italians people are very skill as it is demostrated by the many Italians who work abroad with tasks at the highest level. We must realize that in this global world English is the only Language spoken in every job either technical or financial or commercial.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Speaking English is an Italian problem because the teaching of this important language is a bit superficial at school and it doesn't pay attention to the oral communication. I've got some friends who speak excellent English because they work abroad and they live there with their families. They are engineers and one of them in an embassy counsellor. They learned good English at University. After some pauses I recently started again studying English and I'm very happy of this new beginning. Now I can listen or watch film, news, documentaries in English. When I was a student this language was very difficult for me. I'm aware that it's important to keep fit my mind learning English or another language. I think that new positive thinks are good to each of us because knowledge makes free and happy!]]></description>
