题目内容:
I've had many wonderful holidays,but my favorite memory is that of a few summer weeks spent in Italy when I was about 13.My mom had to go to a clinic there for treatment,and we all went together as a family and took the opportunity to have a beautiful vacation as well.It was the first time abroad for me and it was a vacation that broadened my perspective,taught me a lot,and helped shape a bit of who I am today.
Although we did visit many famous places in northern Italy,we stayed mostly in a little town where some friends of my parents lived.Nothing helped me understand Italian culture better than my stay in this picturesque,almost magical town that many haven't even heard of.
Thanks to the holiday spent in Italy,I,quite a shallow girl,also discovered my passion for music,which stayed alive in me to this day and will probably stay forever.My parents' friends had a son,Ricardo,who was a pianist.Dad had repeatedly but unsuccessfully tried to make me study an instrument and stick to it.However,when I heard Ricardo play,I instantly fell in love with music and felt a great desire to learn it.Ricardo taught me the first song I ever played on the piano,a silly,playful little tune that I still know by heart.
We took a short trip to the Italian Alps at some point.I had never seen such majestic beauty before! The snowcovered peaks,the intimidating rocks,the fresh,harsh air — what an experience! And what I remember impressed me the most was the fact that,although this was a popular touristic area,the region was incredibly clean,still “natural”,with places that seemed to never have been touched by humans.Then,the shallow teen that I was learned what a real treasure nature is and how important it is to protect it.
