THE GALA DINNER
WHAT'S NEW?
SEI L'AMBASCIATORE DI WELCOME, UN'ISOLETTA SPERDUTA NELL'OCEANO PACIFICO. TI E' STATA APPENA ASSEGNATA UNA NUOVA SEDE: L'EUROPA. NON ERI MAI STATO NEL VECCHIO CONTINENTE E, A DIRE IL VERO, NON NE SAI MOLTO. FIN DA SUBITO, PERO', VUOI COSTRUIRE RAPPORTI D'AMICIZIA E CORTESIA CON GLI AMBASCIATORI DEI DIVERSI STATI EUROPEI E DECIDI DI ORGANIZZARE ALCUNE CENE DI GALA. CIASCUNA DI ESSE AVRA' COME OSPITE D'ONORE UN AMBASCIATORE DIVERSO. A QUESTO PUNTO NON TI RESTA CHE METTERE ALL'OPERA I TUOI COLLABORATORI, PERCHE' S'INFORMINO RIGUARDO AI SEGUENTI PUNTI:
(You are the ambassador of Welcome, a tiny dot in the Pacific Ocean. You are required to move to Europe, your new work place. You have never been to Europe, the old world, and, to tell the truth, you don't know so much about it. But, you want to create friendly relationships with other ambassadors, especially European ambassadors, so you decide to organise gala dinners. Each of them will have an ambassador as guest of honour. Consequently you make your staff work on the following topics: the history of the state, the cusine, traditions, important dates, famous people. And now, let's work!!)
- STORIA DELLO STATO
- CUCINA TIPICA
- USI E COSTUMI
- PARTICOLARITA' E RICORRENZE IMMINENTI
- PERSONAGGI FAMOSI

THE AMBASSADOR

(Ambassador's work is quite unusual. You are always far from home, you are always abroad, you have to attend formal occasions, you have to participate in missions in places where you never thought you would be. It's a wonderful and adventurous job. However, there are moments when you have to settle disputes, when you have to make agreements and find the right solutions for diplomatic problems. You are required to be prepared and dedicated to your job. And, last but not least, you have to speak many languages! What did you have to study? Political science, obviously!)
THE EMBASSY
L'AMBASCIATA E' IL LUOGO IN CUI LAVORA L'AMBASCIATORE. L'AMBASCIATORE, AIUTATO DA NUMEROSI COLLABORATORI, DEVE RAPPRESENTARE LA PROPRIA PATRIA E AMMINISTRARNE INTERESSI NEL PAESE STRANIERO IN CUI SI TROVA. INOLTRE L'AMBASCIATORE E TUTTE LE PERSONE CHE LAVORANO IN AMBASCIATA POSSONO SONO FONDAMENTALI PER L'ORGANIZZAZIONE, L'ACCOGLIENZA E L'ASSISTENZA DI TUTTI I CONNAZIONALI CHE ARRIVANO NEL PAESE.
(The embassy is the place where the ambassador works. Together with his staff, he has to represent his country and to administrate its interests. Indeed, the ambassador and his collaborators have to organise, to welcome and help their nationals who arrive in the new country.)
