What I liked most about my Smores
What I liked most about my Smores is how I learned that Italian is only one of the many languages spoken there and how Italy's climate depends on where you are in Italy.
The most difficult part about my Smores
I felt the most difficult part about my Smores was when I was doing the government part because I was not sure what I should have written for that so I decided to say what it is and who it's president and prime minister is.
What interested me the most about Italy
What interested me most about Italy is how detailed and beautiful their artwork was such as "Pieta".
