Etihad complaint
We are a family composed of Mr Piretto Giovanni Giuseppe, Mrs Monti Carla Maria, Ms Piretto Elena and Ms Piretto Elisa. We have bought four return tickets from Milan Malpensa to Kathmandu (outbound flights number EY2871, EY290; inbound flight numbers EY293 , EY81) .
Here it is the code of our booking: BQZTIA.
Given the disaster happened in these days in Nepal, given the humanitarian difficulty of the country, given the lack of potable water, communications and roads open to vehicles, our trip has been suspended and put off by local agency (our local guide supposes it will take at least several months for a touristic recovery).
Farnesina ( Italian governmental authority for foreing affairs) warns us off not to go to Nepal until the emergency is over. If we did it, we would imperil ourselves.
Until yesterday Kathmandu airport was close because of other and bad earthquaks that make the situation more and more complicated (in Kathmandu there are not even open hotels!).
We have called your custumer service in Milan, being confident of the fact that the cancellation of our trip can not be reported to our will. We have been informed by a clerk that our booking will be still available for one year and we will be able to buy other tickets for the same destination BUT we have to pay 150 Euros penalty per person.
We would ask you not pay this penalty because the cancellation is not due to our will and in case this is not possible, we ask you to reduce it to a symbolic amount.
We bought all the flights from your company thinking you were professional and reliable (in every aspect).
We wait for an answer.
Best Regards

First English Review on Tripadvisor
This is my first hotel review in English on Tripadvisor.
Could anyone tell me if there is anything wrong? Thanks!
Here it is:
"We spent 4 nights at Tatra 4 Studios and our stay was absolutely awesome.
The apartment is completely restored and even not too small although we had chosen the beige (the smallest) apartment.
The location is close to the main attractions of the city and it is only 5 minutes walking to the parliament.
Let me tell you something about Laszlo, the owner.
He was always ready to answer so quickly everytime we wrote him to ask advice or information. Thanks also to Tinde who gave us such a helpfull suggestions about local (and cheap too) restaurants.
I can't help recommending this accomodation!".
How do you judge it?

Prejudices about the Italians
When I go abroad I get really angry listening about so many prejudices (some of them are nonsense) about the Italians. Someone could tell me that in prejudice there is a bottom of thuth (at least that is what we say in Italy), but sometimes against the Italian there is a real malice.
Yes, It's true we are noisy when we are sitting for meals, yes, we are unorganized and many people don't respect the rules...but I wonder...who wasn't, at least one time, noisy during one lunch or dinner?
Could anyone tell that in his country everybody respects the rules?
I don't think so.
I fed up with this situation and I've wanted to bring my testimony.

New work
Two week ago I started my new work!
I must admitt that I'm happy and maybe too exited because every new work includes new challenges, new responsabilities and overall new stress like meeting new collegues, learning new things etc.
At the moment I fell like a tightrope, if I make only a mistake I could be thrown from the window (as the Italians say).
I hope it doesn't happen!

A hard choice
Yesterday I got my second (I hope the last) interview for a job as a shopping assistant in a department store where electronic devices are sold. In my opinion it's not a nice job expecially because I should work every sunday and saturday for the rest of my life and I would not have time to see my wife anymore during the weekend.
Besides another company is offering me another opportunity but in this case the pay is not so safe because I should sell solar pannels and if I didnt't sell anything I would not make any money.
However this job is much better than first but I don't know what to choose.

Proud of myself
Today is one of those days I feel rather proud of myself.
A few month ago I told myself: " Simone you have to learn English once for all and have to use all the tools are available". And I'm doing it. Yesterday I contacted some people here on Italki and asked them if they wanted to talk with me on skype and I found some. I arranged an appointment with an australian guys who is learning Italian and this morning I got a call from him,
It was the first, real call in English on phone I did. I'm very glad to have done it.
I was so impressed becouse the australian boy speaks very good Italian, certainly better than my English.
We have decided to have half conversation in Italian and the other in English and we will repeat this experience as soon as we can.

Starting a new diary...
From now on, I will try to write a sort of diary here in Italki, I hope it could be usefull to learn something new.
I'm 34 years old and in this moment I'm unemployed, for this reason I decided, few months ago, to start an English course making some revision about what I already Knew.
I do hope I could find a job but the situation in Italy is getting worse and worse so I'm not excluding to go abroad even if I havent' got any idea about where to go. (I don't think this last sentence is correct).

Here we are!
Hi,
I'm Simone and I discovered this extremely usefull site yesterday afternoon.
I've been study english for many years, but unfortunately my level is keeping on to be low. When I try to speak in English I have often stop to think what to say and how to say.
I do hope to improve my English skills (or skills of English?) expecially in speaking.

Using a noun like an adjective.
How can I recognize when I can use a noun like an adjective in English? For example....orange juice or oil stain. Would it be incorrect using the form "stain of oil" (like in Italian) ? And If the answer is yes, what's the rule? Thanks!
