Well, period pieces unfortunately. Let me see if I can think of some others. When I visited America, I saw that they have a lot of these renovation shows where the object of the programme is fixing a house. You would never see that in Italy.

Candidate: I think it’s human nature to desire the sun’s rays on our skin. I recently read that our diligent use of sunscreen has created a vitamin D deficiency in many people. I also think the beach relaxes us – it’s supposed to at least. You spend time lying down, swimming and relaxing in the water, so it’s calming and reinvigorating.

Please say – What activity it is – What you need to do this activity – How easy or difficult it is – And explain why you would like to do it "I think beach volleyball requires strong arms, agility and good coordination. I suppose this combination makes it a difficult sport, but I think that if you just want to enjoy your time at the beach by hitting the ball back and forth with your friends, you can get away with not being so physically gifted."

Do you like to watch the sky? There are certain times when I like to watch the sky. For example, I love sunsets. I also love watching thunderstorms and seeing flashes of lightning or very cloudy skies. Of course, I also love seeing starry skies. Is there a good place to see the stars in the area where you live? Now that I live in the city, no. There are too many lights to see the stars very well. However, when I visit my grandparents in their village the stars you can see are just magnificent. Do you know much about stars and planets? I know about them insofar as everyday knowledge is concerned. It’s not something I spend time researching or reading about.
