3. a) Personal description
I live in Rome with two other flatmates. It’s really exciting city and I love living here. We are very keen on having people to stay and there’s plenty of space for visitors because we live in a large flat. I’m an architect and I usually work long hours from Monday to Friday, but at the weekends, when I’m not working, I like going out.
4. c) My interests
I’ve got a lot of hobbies and interests. I really enjoy taking people to famous places, restaurants and night clubs in Rome. I really like going clubbing because I love dancing all night! And I quite like having lazy days when I stay at home or go to a friend’s house. I absolutely love keeping fit, so I do a lot of sport. I usually go running or cycling at the weekends and I go to the gym about three or four times a week.
