In fact, the unemployment rate among young people is higher than ever in these past years. Drug abuse and alcohol are other serious problems nowadays. During the past years the number of young drug addicts has increased. This is very frightening and our society must do something for those who destroy their lives. They live in their own imaginary world which brings them to their death.

DESCRIVI IL POSTO IN CUI VIVI CON VANTAGGI E SVANTAGGI -The place where I live is a small town in the south of Apulia called Oria. About 16000 people live and work in Oria. There are a Castle, gate of the Jews, Cathedral etc. the Cathedral was recently repaired. There are a lot of bar and restaurants where you can eat. we have typical meal: orecchiette with turnip greens, parmigiana etc. we have a lot of typical holiday during the year that we celebrate with food and drinks served all over the town to celebrate our saints. All around Oria there are beautiful hills where people go to have a beautiful view of the town and of all the cities around it or to have a pic nick with friends and family. Even though it’s a beautiful place but Oria is still a small place without a lot of opportunity of work for young people.

COMPUTER GAMES Computer games have changed the way we play. We now prefer to stay in front of computer all day than a tennis racket. Statistics say that the age group among players has expanded significantly up into the 25-40 age group. This phenomenon may be caused by the desire to compete with ourselves or with other people, without showing our faces. In fact, computer games have the great power of training us to fight in the real world, when we will be required to struggle in order to reach a goal. On the other hand, computer games steal our time and break down our relationships only to let us live in a whole virtual world, which may be better than reality. Also, computer games might cause physics and mental problems, such as addiction. In my opinion, computer games can a powerful instrument in order to train ourselves to compete. We just need to remember that we are still the owner of the game and we must not let the computer have power over us.

UNIVERSITA’ E CORSO DI STUDI My university is based in L’Aquila and I study here since 2013. it is organized very well, almost all the teachers are very helpful for the youths and the university puts at our disposal also tutors if we are in trouble. I am a literature student and this is my last year, because I hope to graduate in the next autumn, in the graduation session in October. The university of L’Aquila offers a lot of choices to the kids after high school. There are a lot of subjects that you can study, such as Medicine, Math, Science, Engineering, Philosophy and last but not least Economy. Every department has its own building: a structure composed by classes to study and follow the lessons, a library and cafeteria. Before doing literature, I was studying languages for four years but I plucked up courage and changed it. In this years, I got hooked to these new subjects and I hate how many wasted years I’ve spent with something I didn’t love. I love studying Italian literature but also a history of religion because the ancient civilizations fascinate me. After my degree I’d like to work to support myself.

LA SCORSA ESTATE Last summer with my whole family and their other friends, we decided to go for eight days in Spain, in Barcelona. It’s a wonderful city! We walked a lot every day to be able to visit several possible places seen that eight days are not so many. The places that I remember we visited are: the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, the Barcelona Cathedral, the gothic Quarter, ParK Guell, Gaudi’s house and other places that I can not remember. The most delicious meal I ate there was the paella, rice size, saffron and sea food. FILM The film that I recently saw was My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. After the eccentric marriage of the first chapter now plot revolves about Toula and Iand who have a teenage daughter, Parisalle grappling with the intense pace of the “collage”. The Portokalos family including the grumpy grandfather who thinks that the Greeks invented everything, of course, would like her to stay in Chicago to study and to become engaged to a greek guy, but she barely breathe from this “suffocation” of his uncles and grandparents. Precisely these are the central point of the new story and a new marriage all to prepare. CANTANTE PREFERITO My favorite singer is Biagio Antonacci. In his songs always he speaks and sings of love, magic understanding that is created sometimes between a man and a woman. I know and listen to his songs since I was little and every new song I can find a precise meaning which links me to something or someone. Many such songs contain some moments and memories I have with my boyfriend. Remind me of other periods of happiness and fun with my friends, are songs that I have accompanied me along my path.

PERSONA PIU IMPORTANTE The most important person in my life is called Luca and mt boyfriend, we are now together for almost two years. By now we know each other for eight years and until two years ago he was my best friend, but in the summer of 2014 we got together. Luca is older than me by two years and 28, is tall, thin, with eyes and brown hair. I am very happy to have him at my side because he is a guy who makes me smile, makes me feel good and thankfully never fight....
