No one has to be ill any more.

Suchwould be our life in 2060.

Romeis one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics fromits distant past.

They are really achievements ofItaly.

InRome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t verygood quality. Some may be hard to taste. I made an effort to find authenticrestaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato,onion and bacon. I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under theChristmas lights.

Romehas not only lots of luxury boutiques（精品店）but also plenty of shops that were morein my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents formy family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought asparkly decoration for the tree.
