There aren’t many actives to do: there are gyms, music  classes, English classes, dance, soccer field , theatre… There are only monuments. The good of living here is that it is a beautiful country where there are furniture, shops, factories, bakery, etc… the bad is that here are not secondary schools, hospitals. The summer weather is hot and the winter is  mild. In my country there is the sea and the country obviously prefer the sea.

In my family there are my dad Orazio, my mum Anna Maria, my sister Chiara and me. My country is in south Puglia (a region in south Italy). My country’s name is Racale; Racale is small but very beautiful. There are four schools, three churches , small but very important for us. In Racale you can do catechism, theatre, volleyball, football and tennis. There aren’t many monuments : there is a very beautiful church with a lot of coloured windows, there is a war memorial too.  Living in my town is beautiful because all are very kind and because it isn’t a polluted town.

I live precisely in Lecce, where there are beautiful baroque churches. I really  like cooking and I’m quite good at it, I really like English and speak, in fact in May I will make  a six-day trip to Malta. I really don’t like the chaos but in the end it is a simple and special village for me. Here the weather is mild because some days it is very hot and others it is very cold; this is the Mediterranean climate. As I said before, the Puglia is surrounded by the sea and I love, this because the water, I think, is the thing the most relaxing.

In my town there are few monuments as the Basurto's castle, or the bell tower of the saint Giorgio church. An advantage of my town is: all citizens know each other. A disadvantage  of my town is: for example, the lack of fashion stores. We have hot summers and cold, winters and foggy or temperate the Mediterranean coast,  we have countryside and hills full of olive trees and vineyards.

In Racale there isn't many places to go out with friends, but it's a very nice town and we all know. The climate is mild, sometimes rains during the winter, and the summer is long. I live in Torre Suda, where the sea is very clean, there are rocks and sand. You can go for long walks near the ancient olive trees.

In the square you can talk with your friends and see the old town centre. The church of my town is called “San Giorgio’s church”, it is a medium size and it is very old. The bad of my town is: there aren’t any places of meeting for kids, there isn’t a cinema and the big city is far away from my town.
