TASK APRIL 14TH : WELCOME BACK

Dear students,

I am happy to say hallo to you again. I hope you are fine!

These days I have been working out at home: dancing, jumping, doing yoga and also riding my exercise bike. I have sung while playing music and also taken some time to read and study.

Althoug I don't usually talk a lot on the phone, I am doing it these days, since it is impossible to meet friends, who I miss a lot. Most of all, I keep in touch with my mother, who is quite old and is having a hard time, because she loves walking on the street and she became a widow (after sixty years of marriage) only a year and a half ago.


To finish with, I would like to tell you that I am looking forward to seeing your faces and hearing your youthful voices again. I am also looking forward to being allowed to walk, run and fool around outdoors and enjoy the now exuberant green areas around here in total freedom.

Please, SEND ME AN E-MAIL saying how you feel and what you miss, what you would like to do once this is over...

Stefano : Yes, and even if it isn't specifically challenging, many people are simply ___________________ that some team members may feel because they are different. Brenda : So, what does this mean? What are we going to do? Nina : Well, we need to create a workplace charter. You know, one that promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. Brenda : That sounds like a good idea. But will people just see it as something the manage...
