I: Read the text below and answer the following questions.

I lived, I loved, I cried...

I stayed the first night at a hotel. In the morning t bought a map and went to see the University, and I rented
a room in a house. I walked through the city to my classes every morning - Italian men said: 'ciao Bella!' I
liked it! I spoke a little Italian from school but when I arrived in Rome I couldn’t understand people, and I
spoke English or polish with other Erasmus students. But then I started going to Italian classes and I also
made friends with some Italians. They helped me a lot! After three months I could speak quite well. Another
problem was that Rome is very expensive, but I found job in an lrish café and l worked three evenings a
week. I learnt a lot about ltaly and Italians: you can't start the day without' un café; Italian food is the best in
the world - but don't ask for ketchup! And the number one topic of conversation in bars is politics and
football. Erasmus changed my life. I lived a different life in a fantastic city. I met new people from all over
the world and made some wonderful friends. I learnt to understand another culture. Of course it wasn't all
perfect - living in another country isn't easy. I came back from ltaly a year ago, but a small part of me
stayed in Rome. I drink espresso every morning, eat a lot of pasta, and I use my hands a lot when I speak.
Now I feel European, not only Polish.
