Conversation
So, you went to Spain last year. That’s great! Did you go to the south of Spain?
Yes, we went to the south. We went to Seville and Malaga. They are beautiful cities.
And now you are in England. Why did you come to England?
I came to England because I want to improve my English. When I am here, I can practice my English every day.
I know what you mean. It’s important to practice every day. And when did you come to England?
I came here about six months ago. But, this is the second time. The first time I came to England was about four years ago. I really like it here. The only thing I don’t like is the weather
Come on, the weather isn’t that bad! Ok and now your English is really good. So, do you think you will go back to Italy?
I might go back to Italy next year. But, I might stay here. As I said, I really like it here and it’s pretty close to Italy. My friends and family can visit me.
