Useful Italian Phrases and Etiquette Tips for Going Out to Eat

Useful Italian Phrases and Etiquette Tips for Going Out to Eat Sign up successful But before we dive into these useful Italian phrases, there are some important dining etiquette rules one must remember when traveling to Italy. Italian Etiquette for Dining In the Italian culture, eating is a way of life. Family and friend gatherings are often centered around food. Here are some major do’s and don’ts when eating in Italy. Don’t expect the waiter to bring you the bill. Until you ask for il conto (the bill), the waiter will not bring it to your table. Also, don’t be shocked when the bill includes a small bread fee. Do enjoy your meal slowly. Italians consider dinner to be a time when you relax with family and friends. There is no such thing as get a quick bite to eat. Don’t cut your spaghetti. Whatever you do, never cut your spaghetti; rather learn how to gracefully twirl it onto your fork or go old school with a spoon. Do arrive late. Whereas showing up late for dinner in the U.S. is considered rude, Italians are rarely ever on time. Therefore, it’s okay to arrive a few minutes after the appointed time. Don’t expect breakfast. Unless you’re staying at a hotel that caters to Americans, don’t expect to eat a breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, and toast. Italians typically start their day with a cappuccino. Do go where the locals go: Italy is home to some of the most delicious foods in the world. Don’t hunt down the one restaurant that serves an American cheeseburgerâ€"eat where the locals dine! Useful Italian Phrases for Going Out to Eat The first thing to learn are common Italian phrases your waiter (il cameriere / la cameriera) may use. For example, the waiter may say the following: Cosa prende Lei? (What will you have?) Cosa desidera Lei? (What would you like?) If you are eating with one or more people, your waiter may phrase these questions in the plural to address all parties: Cosa prendete voi? (What will you all have?) Cosa desiderate voi? (What would you all like?) In response, you can simply state the item(s) you want, or you can use a whole sentence: Un piatto di ravioli con un bicchiere di vino rosso, per favore. (A plate of ravioli with a glass of red wine, please.) Prendo il risotto ai funghi. (Ill have the mushroom risotto.) If you have specific dietary restrictions, the following phrases may come in handy: Non mangio (I dont eat) la carne (meat) il pesce (fish) le uova (eggs) In looking at the menu and specifying what you would like for each course, familiarize yourself with the following words: la colazione (breakfast) il pranzo (lunch) la cena (dinner) lantipasto (appetizer) il primo piatto (first course) il secondo piatto (second course) or piatto principale (main course) la pasta (pasta; you will see different types such as le lasagne, i ravioli, gli spaghetti) il contorno (side dish) il formaggio (cheese) il dolce (dessert) le bevande (beverages) When ordering your meal, your waiter may inquire whether you would like: acqua gassata (sparkling water) acqua minerale (still water). In addition to water, you may want to order: un bicchiere di vino rosso/bianco (a glass of red/white wine), una birra (a beer) un espresso (an espresso). *Keep in mind that, in Italian culture, un cappuccino is reserved only for breakfast time; it is not served after lunch or dinner. When it comes time to pay, if youre dining with your Italian hosts or friends and would like to treat them, you can say: Offro io! (Its my treat). To ask the waiter for the bill, you can say: Il conto, per favore (The bill, please). * In Italy, tipping is not expected since the charge for service, called il coperto, is usually included in the bill. If youd like to use the bathroom before leaving, you can ask: Dovè il bagno? (Where is the bathroom?). Becoming familiar with these common  Italian phrases for going out to eat will serve you well. Youll be able to communicate with the wait staff, order your meal to your liking, and participate fully in this quintessentially Italian activity: enjoying your food. If you want to learn more Italian  words and phrases, you might want to consider taking an Italian lesson before your trip! Post Author:  Nadia B. Nadia B. teaches Italian in New York, NY.

What is it Like to Attend University of Southern California

What is it Like to Attend University of Southern California The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Kalee is a Los Angeles tutor specializing in a multitude of subjects including MCAT prep tutoring, Chemistry tutoring, and Finance tutoring. She graduated from University of Southern California in 2012 where she studied Business and Natural Sciences. See what she had to say about he alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Kalee: The USC campus is located in South Central Los Angeles. Most students live either on-campus or within one mile, and therefore, walk or bike to classes. Because the surrounding area is not the safest, the university offers two services to ensure student safety at night. First, Campus Cruiser is a car service for students who wish to travel within a one mile radius of the school between the hours of 6pm-2:30am. Second, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) will pick up and drop off any student at the hours in which Campus Cruiser is not running. Students definitely do not need a car if they plan on staying on campus, but you cannot get around the LA area without one, so it is recommended after the first year. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Kalee: Every professor has designated office hours for meeting with students outside of class. However, every professor I have had has made themselves available outside of office hours by appointment. The teaching assistants teach discussions sections with a small group of students (10-20) and hold office hours. Since all of them are graduate students, they are very open for students to reach out to them outside of class and ask questions about the class, research, etc. Students are required to see their academic advisors every semester before registering for classes (depending on the school). Advisors are also available during walk-in hours and appointment. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Kalee: The dorm life at USC is great. Each dorm has a different character, so students can choose what vibe fits them best. All freshmen are required to stay in USC housing and have a USC dining plan with meals and/or dining dollars. There are three dining halls on campus and many restaurants/fast-food options. Students will leave their room doors open while they are inside so people walking by often stop by for a chat. There are also organized events by the RA or the building government aimed to help students build relationships with their floor and dorm building. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Kalee: I would say the majors that are best represented are those housed in the named schools on campus, such as business/accounting (Marshall), journalism/communication (Annenberg), and film production/cinematic arts (School of Cinematic Arts). With that said, the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences just received an enormous naming donation so majors housed in that college are well supported financially and by advising. I majored in Business-Cinematic Arts (a competitive joint program between the Marshall School and the School of Cinematic Arts) and minored in Natural Sciences because my ultimate goal was to enter medical school. USC was extremely supportive of my varied, and unusual area of study. They actually encouraged diverse studies through their Renaissance Scholar program. Though it is about five and a half years of course units, USC allowed me to fit it into four years. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Kalee: Living in a dorm made it very easy to meet people and make friends as a freshman. I believe that most people at USC remained close to their freshman year dormmates throughout college. At the beginning of every semester there is an involvement fair, where students can sign up to join a few of the hundreds of campus organizations. Involvement in these clubs is the best way to make lasting friendships, because the other people in the club share the same interests as you do. Now that I have graduated, I can say that I met my best friends through campus organizations and study abroad programs. Greek life does play a significant role in the campus social life as many freshman and sophomores choose to rush. I was not involved in a sorority, and can say with confidence that if Greek life is not for you, you will still have an amazing college experience. Just get involved! VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Kalee: The Career Center serves both past and present students of the university with advising, workshops, and campus recruitment. Several times during my four years I used the Career Center resume advising services to understand what companies were looking for and how I could tailor my resume to appeal to each one. Many reputable companies are involved with the formal on-campus recruiting process, but are mostly finance or accounting companies. Examples include JP Morgan Chase Co., Apple, Bain Co., Accenture, KPMG, Deloitte, and Ogilvy Mather. These positions are also largely for local positions in the Los Angeles area, so if students want to move to different cities across the country, it is more difficult. The Career Center can advise you on steps to take to appeal to jobs in other cities, but do not offer anything beyond that. Another thing to note is the Trojan Network, an online listing of graduates willing to speak with current students about their careers and how they got there from USC. This is an excellent resource for informational interviewing. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Kalee: There are study spaces in every library, with Leavey Library being the only one on campus to be open for 24 hours. Students are also welcome to study in spaces in the Campus Center, dorm/apartment lounges, and on-campus coffee shops. I mostly studied in my own room at my apartment, so each student can study where they learn best. The public spaces available can fill up during midterms or finals, but you can always book group study rooms in the libraries. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Kalee: Los Angeles is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, and it has the added benefit of great weather year-round! If youre interested in sports, you can go see a Lakers game or a Dodgers game (and of course you have to root for your USC Trojans!). There is plenty of shopping, restaurants, and nightlife when you move either to downtown or the west-side. As for outdoor activities, you have several beaches and hiking trails within a 30-minute drive. Students also plan weekend mountain trips and go to Big Bear or Mountain High (about 2-3 hours away). Los Angeles is also the heart of Hollywood, so film screenings, movie premieres, and industry talks are easily accessible. As I have described, there is plenty to do in Los Angeles and the surrounding area (Disneyland, Las Vegas), but you need a car! And you must be weary of traffic, because even though Google tells you it is four miles away, it could easily take you 45 minutes. I would say for the first two years students mostly stay near campus, and tend to venture out a little bit their junior and senior years. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Kalee: Though USC is a private university, it has about 16,000 undergraduates and another 16,000 graduates. I loved this about the school. I was meeting new people, and making new friendships literally until the moment I graduated. By having a student body of this size, you do not feel suffocated, and yet do not feel anonymous either. The class sizes for general introductory courses could get as large as 300 people, but every large class at USC has a discussion section with only 20 other students. Once you move onto upper division classes, the class size drops dramatically to 10-40 people. This way, you can make valuable relationships with professors in the subjects you are actually interested in pursuing further. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Kalee: One of my favorite classes at USC was Introduction to Film (CTCS 190) taught by Drew Casper. If anyone has the chance to take a class by Drew Casper, do it! Even if you are not interested in pursuing the cinematic arts. He is an amazing orator, and keeps the class on their toes for the entire four hours. He would dance around the stage, tell us intimate stories, and yell about aspects of the industry that frustrated him. Every one of the 300 students in the class hung off of his every word and could feel his passion for films and for teaching. Though it was a large class, Casper was adept at making each student feel engaged and involved. It is hard to describe why this professor was so incredible, but ask each student that has taken a class from him, and they will have something to say about Drew Casper.

Algebra Symbols

Algebra Symbols Algebraic symbols are the symbols which join two or more algebraic terms in an algebraic expression. It can be addition, subtraction, multiplication and division etc. These are the four important symbols of algebra. And these are denoted as follows:- Addition is denoted by +, Subtraction is denoted by -, Multiplication is denoted by x and Division is denoted by / Example 1:(5x -12y-5z) + (4z+11y+2x) Solution :-First we will begin by opening the parentheses, = 5x -12y-5z +4z+11y+2x Now we have to separate the like terms and writing them together, we will get the following = 5x+2x-12y+11y-5z+4z =7x-y-z Therefore on solving (5x -12y-5z) + (4z+11y+2x), we get 7x-y-z. Example 2:Solve 2x/4 + 5x/4 = 3/4 + 5/4 Solution:-Given, 2x/4 + 5x/4 = 3/4 + 5/4 Now we have to solve the right hand side, for this we need to take LCM on the right hand side 2x/4 + 5x/4 = (3+5)/4 2x/4 + 5x/4 = (8)/4 2x/4 + 5x/4 = 2 Similarly we have to solve the left hand side by taking the LCM on left hand side 2x/4 + 5x/4 = 2 (2x+ 5x)/4 = 2 7x/4 = 2 We can rewrite this as, 7x/4 = 2/1 Now to solve the above equation, we have to cross multiply the above, then we will get (7x) x 1= 2 x 4 7x = 8 Now to find out the value of x, we have to divide both sides of the equation by 7 7x/7 = 8/7 Therefore x = 8/7

(Image: CC0 1.0, Nikon D5100, Max Pixel)Experienced Teachers Can Highlight The Best Poems For KidsAs noted above, when in doubt, it’s best to ask an expert for their advice on what poems your child may be interested in.Poetry can be approached at any age, and a child can start to read poetry as soon as they begin to read other forms of written works.So if your child is still just a toddler, it may be worth speaking to a worker at that child’s nursery, if applicable, to see whether they have any poetry books on hand for kids to read and if there are any they would recommend for young learners to read at home.Equally, if your child has reached primary school, ask the teacher which works of poetry are on the school’s curriculum, and whether there would be any works that you could borrow or buy for your child that would supplement their learning.Although there are many popular poets are writers that are usually covered in schools, su ch as William Wordsworth, William Butler  Yeats,  Kenn Nesbitt, Sylvia Plath, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Christina Rossetti to name a few, it's unlikely that a school will be able to cover the works every famous poet and poet laureate, so some outside input from teachers and tutors can be appreciated.Naturally, always feel free to ask the child themselves to see what kind of poetry they enjoy. For example, they may prefer a  sonnet  over other forms of writing poetry, such as nursery rhymes, a  haiku,  limerick, nonsense poetry or free verse.The nature of the poem may also have an impact on how well a child responds to it as well. For example, some kids may prefer to read aloud silly or funny poems, whereas others may prefer to read through a whole poetry collection that has a range of poems in different styles.Finally, if you’d like to improve your child’s understanding of poetry or would like to develop their creative writing skills further, then you can also look at hiring a perso nal tutor for your child to help them in their poetry reading and writing.Writing poetry and drafting new poems can help to develop a child's creativity and also teach them about important concepts such as rhyme and rhythm, the impact of reading the written word aloud, and other literary skills that can come in use when writing creative works of fiction or non-fiction.Superprof has English tutors with experience in teaching children to both write and read poetry. So if this is an area of English that you would like your child to gain a deeper appreciation of, whether because it’s an area they enjoy or because you feel poetry is not given enough attention in the school curriculum, a tutor can be a great way to develop a child’s understanding of poetic techniques and devices.Equally, a tutor can also help develop a child's knowledge and awareness of English language and literature more broadly, so in that respect, a tutor can provide a wide variety of ongoing assistance when it co mes to your child's English education.Simply enter your postcode on Superprof to be matched with local English teachers in your area, or to find a tutor that is able to provide online learning.

5 Things Your Graduating Senior Needs To Know About College

5 Things Your Graduating Senior Needs To Know About College High school is drawing to a close and your teen is probably feeling excited, nervous and everything in between. College is on the horizoneverything he or she has worked toward. It is indeed a special time of life, but there is so much coming that your teen may not even realize. Yes, your teen likely knows that college is harder and different than high school. Certainly, he or she knows the impact that college can have on his or her future. But what are some of the things your teen might not realize are coming? Here are five things for your teen to expect next year when beginning the college journey: Its all on them! One of the key differences between high school and college is the expectation that studentsnobody elseare responsible for themselves. Professors expect students to listen in class, speak up with questions if they dont understand something, and keep up with reading and homework. Students are given a lot of freedom, which means they are responsible for keeping on top of it all and reaching out for help if they need it. The consequences include academic probation for grades that fall below a certain GPA and forced withdrawal if students dont raise those grades quickly enough. Class sizes vary. Until they are on campus and in a classroom, most students might not fully grasp that the number of students in a college classroom can vary widely. A lot depends on whether a student goes to a large university or smaller college, but even at smaller schools, introductory, general education classes might have upwards of 100 students (and the number could approach 300-400 at a big university). Especially as freshmen, its important that students go to class ready to learn and take thorough notes. Its also a good idea to visit professors during office hours if they need extra help. Critical thinking skills are essential. The whole goal of college is to help students prepare for successful careersand nurturing the development of critical thinking skills is a big part of that. Professors in college want students to analyze information as they learn it, make their own inferences, and make connections about what they learn. They also want students to be self-aware about what they understand well and what they are still learning or struggling with. Now is the time for time management. College offers so many opportunities to socialize, get involved on campus and explore new interests. Its easy for students to become overwhelmed by the volume of homework and studying in addition to everything else. Time management is critical for college success. Students should plan out their weeks to ensure they have time to meet all of their academic commitments, using some sort of system, whether thats a planner, smartphone calendar, homework app or some combination of these tools. Good time managers also embrace a solid organizational system (to minimize wasted time and procrastination) and incorporate sufficient sleep and down time into their schedules. The major matters sooner than later. Teens who go into college without a major declared do have a little time to decide, but many fields of study start steering students toward a certain curriculum as early as sophomore year. Although students shouldnt feel pressured to just pick something, they should take the initiative to discover career interests that would fit their skills and personality. The college career center is a useful resource that every student should visit early and often. Theyll help undecided students explore different fields and majors and get them on the right path sooner than later. Dr. Raymond Huntingtonencourages parents to keep the lines of communication open with their college-bound teens in the months leading up to college. The transition from high school to college is a big one and its understandable that teens want to kick back and relax over summer before they leave home and begin their new adventure, he says. We always tell parents that this summer is a good opportunity to have those important conversations with their teens about the exciting and vastly different experience that is upon them. Teens who understand that change is coming but eagerly embrace a positive, motivated attitude will experience great success.

Summer Algebra Before School Start

Summer Algebra Before School Start Taking a full course in the summer is tedious work. But you did take an algebra community college course? Congratulations! If not then you probably facing the prospect of taking algebra this fall season. In any case the articles, video and tutors presented in this newsletter provide valuable resources to ace that algebra class and reduce the stress levels of your next math test. Just one tip for self-studying algebra during the summer: Divide the number of text book chapters by the days left this summer. The result is the number of chapters per day required to work on. For example, if you start today August 8th and want to end on August 23 you got 15 days left. A text book of 22 chapters demands you to study 2 chapters per day precisely, excluding the weekend days. In other words 15 days 4 weekend days = 11 and 22/11 = 2. Neat, we applied algebra to make our studying schedule more manageable.
