Introduzione

L’obiettivo del testo è quello di fornire allo studente le competenze comunicative di settore in lingua inglese che
egli deve acquisire a conclusione del suo percorso di studio in un Istituto professionale.
Competenze linguistiche, oltre che tecniche, spendibili nei vari contesti di vita e di lavoro per assumere un pro-
prio ruolo nei processi produttivi e di servizio.

In linea con le indicazioni dell’Unione europea e nell’ottica della mobilità di studio-lavoro, ove possibile sono
stati stabiliti collegamenti tra le tradizioni culturali locali, nazionali ed internazionali in una prospettiva intercul-
turale.

L’approccio metodologico comunicativo è globale, sia nei contenuti che nelle tematiche. La struttura è agile nei
collegamenti e la trattazione linguistica agevole ed essenziale. Le funzioni linguistiche sono chiare e fruibili per
essere utilizzate nell’interazione in diversi ambiti.

I brani tematici sono sempre corredati da congrue verifiche dell’apprendimento e le presentazioni grafiche del-
l’input linguistico sono frequenti: immagini, esemplificazioni, mind maps, simboli per una veloce identificazione
delle attività integrate. Le finestre grammaticali di facile e rapida fruizione accompagnate da numerose esercita-
zioni.

La flessibilità è garantita dalla struttura modulare del testo attentamente guidata così da consentire al docente
la personalizzazione dei percorsi e della sua programmazione didattica.

Lo studente potrà avvalersi del supporto dell’A ppendice del testo dove troverà: Literary bites, incontri letterari
sul tema del cibo, tavole di conversione, terminologia britannica & americana, glossario.

Il libro si completa on line, con approfondimenti e verifiche interattive.

La Guida del docente è arricchita da un’ampia serie di prove strutturate e accompagnata da un Cd Audio per gli
ascolti in classe.

Hi Ted, Thanks for your email. I’m happy to hear you want to come to Italy. There are lots of interesting
places you can see here. I’m from Milan in the north but now I live in Rome in the centre of Italy. I like living
here because Rome offers lots of tourist attractions and is the ideal place for a holiday. Besides in Rome it is
milder than in the north. Rome is famous for its remains of the Roman civilization like the Coliseums, an
Amphitheatre for gladiator shows, the Roman Forum the centre of Republican life and the thermal Baths of
Caracalla. Rome is crossed by the river Tiber, the third longest river in Italy. Finally the seaside, like Ostia, is
just thirty minutes east of Rome. So I hope I can meet you here very soon. Best wishes Gloria

The Hospitality industry is a service industry and refers to all the

outstanding industry which offers unlimited job opportunities. For this reason
it is considered the “Big employer” in the world. The Hospitality industry is
varied, global, vital, and covers five different sectors, such as:

Tourism: that is the provision of facilities and services for the pleasure &
comfort of tourists.
Accommodation: that is the provision of lodging, meals and other guest services.
F&B or Catering services: that is the provision of food & drinks for people away from home
Recreation & Entertainment: that is the provision of facilities or services for leisure activities
Transportation: that is the provision of means of transport, equipment and services.
Travel service: that is the provision of all the services for travellers (booking, ticketing ...)

ABOUT …
THE PANCAKE DAY RACE
In Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, pancakes are
traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as "Pancake Day" and, particularly
in Ireland, as "Pancake Tuesday".
Historically, pancakes were made on Shrove Tuesday
before Lent Fast= Digiuno di Quaresima.
Charity and school events are organized on Pancake
Day: in a "pancake race" all runners must toss their
pancakes as they run and catch them in the frying pan.
This event originated in Olney, England, in 1444 when
a housewife was still busy frying pancakes when she
heard the church bells. She ran out of her house still
holding the frying pan complete with pancake.
Pancake Day is widely celebrated in Australia.

(Shrove Tuesday: Mardi Gras in France, Fat Tuesday in the United States)
