                                             ESSAY
I believe that learning languages becomes very important also for the over 40s.

- As I see nowadays if you want to find a good job or to undertake an important career you have to speak more than one language. In fact the major part of the industries require linguistic competences, to be able to communicate with people around the world.

- Another important reason is to travel in other countries, having a good time with people of other cultures and appreciate their traditions.

To sum up learning a new language can be funny but especially very important because according to some surveys; jobs that require linguistic competences are the paidest.

                                         BULLYING

For bullying means action taken by a person called "bully" against a weaker person, the victim.
According to the definitions given by researchers of this phenomenon, a person is subject of bullying when is exposed several time to offensive action, When this phenomenon happens on internet or by phone we are talking about cyberbullying. I think that this phenomenon depends on family situation, where parents are not intrested in their kids's growth.

                                  WOMEN'S DAY

Women's Day is celebrated on March 8th every year to commemorate the movement for women's rights. In Italy we refer this celebration to a fire of 1911 in New York, which killed 134 women in a shirt factory on March 8th but according to the countries it could change dates, places, number of victims. It was UDI (Unione Donne Italiane) to chose Mimosa as a symbol of this celebration because yellow means: power, vitality, joy and also because it is Spring flower and was very cheap too. Today women protest to say STOP to violence, femminicide, discrimination and harassment in work place.
