点评:We attended the Discovering Gelato class today and, unfortunately, came away feeling very disappointed and uncomfortable.
During our stay in Italy, we participated in several different classes and experiences, all of which were excellent. As enthusiastic gelato admirers, we had especially looked forward to this visit and class.
We appreciated that the class was conducted in English. However, we found it extremely difficult to understand what our guide was saying, which made it frustrating and nearly impossible to follow the information being presented.
We were then told that, because my husband and I were not enrolled in the Master Class, we would stand at the far end of the long worktable and would only participate in making gelato. Everyone was standing behind the table, but being placed at the end and separated in this way left us unsure about the extent to which we would be included and what we would actually be doing. Frankly, by the time we were told that we could leave, we both felt somewhat relieved, as the situation had become quite uncomfortable.
I hope you will accept a few suggestions in the constructive spirit in which they are intended. For an English-language class, it is important to have a guide whose English can be clearly understood by international visitors. It would also be helpful to explain at the very beginning exactly what each guest will be participating in.
Finally, combining Discovering Gelato participants and Master Class participants in the same session did not make us feel comfortable or fully included. The differences between the two experiences should either be explained very clearly from the outset or, ideally, the groups should be kept separate.
We truly wanted to enjoy this experience, particularly because so many of the other classes we attended in Italy were wonderful. Unfortunately, this visit was a significant disappointment.
翻译:今天我们参加了“发现意式冰淇淋”课程,但遗憾的是,我们感到非常失望且不自在。
在意大利期间,我们参加了好几场不同的课程和活动,每一场都十分出色。作为意式冰淇淋的狂热爱好者,我们原本对这次体验寄予了厚望。
我们很感激课程是用英语讲授的。然而,我们觉得很难听懂导游在说什么。这让人感到很沮丧,也几乎无法理解正在呈现的信息。
随后我们得知,由于我和丈夫并未报名参加大师班,我们只能站在长工作台的最末端,且仅能参与制作意式冰淇淋。所有人都在工作台后站立,但被安排在最末端且这样与其他人隔开后,我们不确定自己能在多大程度上参与其中,也不清楚具体要做什么。坦率地说,当我们接到可以离开的通知时,我们俩都松了一口气,因为当时的情形实在让人有些不自在。
希望您能本着建设性的态度接受我的一些建议。对于英语课而言,有一位能让各国来宾都听得懂其英语的引导者是非常重要的。此外,在课程一开始时详细说明每位来宾将参与的活动内容也会很有帮助。
最后,。将“Discovering Gelato”课程的参与者与大师班学员安排在同一场活动中,让我们感觉不自在,也觉得自己没有被完全接纳。这两种体验之间的差异应当从一开始就解释清楚;理想情况下,这两类人群应该分开安排。
我们原本真心希望能享受这次体验,毕竟我们在意大利参加过的其他课程都十分出色。遗憾的是,这次经历实在令人大失所望。
