DRIVING IN FLORENCE Dear Max, as you know in Italy we drive on the right. Florence is a small city, so I advice you to rent a small car like a Smart. Here where I live, there are a few parking lots and with a small car you can find it easily. Watch out for autovelox, there are a lot of these in the main streets and it is difficult to find them out. Get the city center from my home is quick and easy but I advice you to take a bus, in this way you'll spare the stress of looking for parking. Italians drivers are generally aggressive, but don't care about this, I'll teach you some tricks to survive.

MY AUSTRALIA Hi there! I want to talk about the time that i've spent in Australia. I've been in Australia for almost two months, since July until August, because my boyfriend lives there for three years. He is Italian like me. Living so far away it is very difficult, for this reason i've decided to move to Australia next year. I'm moving to Brisbane at March 2016 and I'm really excited about my new adventure. Brisbane is very different to Florence, but I'm pretty sure that I will be happy there. Anyway, on 25th August my boyfriend took me out for dinner in a wonderful restaurant to celebrate our last night together. After dinner he brought me to a special place called Mount Coot-tha where we could watch Brisbane from above. So, after a few minutes, he watched me and said: "Will you married me?" I could not believe my ears... Did he really ask me to marry him? After 2 seconds I shouted: YESSSSS!!!!! :) We get married next September in Italy, it's too expensive to get all our relatives and friends to Australia! My English is not good yet, but I want to improve it and start a new life with my (almost) husband!

EXERCICES Would you rather have milk or lemon in your tea? She would rather living in Paris than in Hamburg. The man, who wrote several books about Dante, have never visited Florence. The city that I like less is Milan. I was looking for you, where have you been? England declared war on Germany because Germany had invaded Poland. Valentino Rossi smiled because he had won the race. I thought you could get a new car. You had better work harder for your goal. So long as you are living under my roof, you must obey to my rules.

AN OLD FRIEND Hi to everybody! Tonight I want to talk how life can be strange and magic in the same time. Last week I wrote on Facebook to my old friend Laura. I haven't seen her for a long time, probably twenty years! I went to school with her when I was six years. We are Facebook's friend since 2008, but we've never writen each other, just a few "like" on our pictures. Last week she wrote a wonderful post on her Facebook page and I haven't resisted to write her how made me excited what she wrote. We chatted for a lot of time until I wrote her: "hey, what do you think about going out for a dinner next week?" She said yes immediately and I'm coming out with her next wednesday night! I'm so happy to see her after twenty years, I have a lot of thing to tell her and who knows how many things she has too! My tip is: don't be shy, if you want to talk to someone, just pick up our phone and call! :)

READING I love reading and I'm not able to live without a book on my bedside. When I was young I loved reading adventure books, my best writer was Wilbur Smith. I read a lot of his books and loved imagining all beautiful african landscapes that he described on it. A day I found out that he is a hunter and this made me very sad, I couldn't keep reading stories about lions and elephants knowing that he hunting them in is real life. I really hate hunting. From that day I've never read a Wilbur Smith's book.
