LANGUAGE

About seventy million people world wide speak italian, with about sixty of them having it as a first language. In the UK, there are about 500000 Italians in London alone. With the UK being a diverse multicultural place, it comes as no suprise that italian is spoken in the UK.

The Italian language was brought to the UK via Italian immigrants who moved to the country before world war two. According to Edwards(2007), Italian immigrants moved to the UK so as to work in the brick-making firms in Bedford and Peterborough. This was back in 1945.

Since then, Italians in the UK have been quick to move into self employment. Since then, they have opened cafes and restaurants such as Valetino's, Bella Italia,Pizza Hut and Pasta Brown.

It is spoken in other countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Australia. Not only that, but it is also herald as the language most similar to Latin.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Time management is how one utilizes their time in respect to their tasks. There are different ways of managing time, but that doesn't neccessarily mean that one is easier than the other.

Time is a valuable resource which was gone can never be replenished. This being the case, it is important to be able to properly allocate our time to tasks in order of importance and urgency.

When it comes to me, I have run an analysis on my time management skills and the table below shows my strengths and weaknesses in that area.

My strengths	My weaknesses
Highly effective with the proper motivation	procrastination
Meeting deadlines	Poor prioritizing
	Inability to focus on task at hand

After evaluating my weaknesses, I deduced that my problem is that I think I have too much time in my hands. That causes me to develop an "i'll do it later" attitude. My strategies to solve these problems are to make a time table and abide by it.
