Hello, my name is Tom. I come from Sicily. It is a beautiful island in the south of Italy. I live in a village on the coast. The sea is blue and I like to go fishing. In summer it is very hot and sometimes my family go into the mountains because it is a bit cooler there.

The capital of Italy is Rome. It is a very old city with famous buildings. The population of it is about 3, 000, 000.St Peter's is a very big and beautiful church there.

Rome is very busy, but Milan is busier than Rome. It is in the northwest of Italy. Do you know its famous football team? People are busy working. Milan has a lot of factories, shops and banks. Venice is on the sea, and people use boats, not bicycles or buses for transport(交通). Venice is beautiful with old bridges and buildings by the water, but it is colder than Sicily and has more rain. I am happy on my island.
