| 7. abbronzarsi “to get a tan” |
| Voglio abbronzarmi passando in spiaggia tutte le più belle giornate di sole. “I want to get a tan, spending all the most sunny days at the beach.” |

| Per pagare la mia vacanza farò un lavoro part-time in una delle stupende città d'arte in Italia. “To pay for my holiday, I'll work a part-time job in one of Italian’s stunning art cities.” |
| This might be very interesting to you if you like art and history as architecture because Italy is so full of history. And you can actually combine your stay and you can actually also volunteer in some museums, art cities. There are so many things actually that you can do. |
| 10. divertirsi con gli amici “to have fun with friends” |
| Ho intenzione di divertirmi con i miei amici al mare o in città. “I'm going to have fun with my friends by the sea or in the cities.” |
| If you want to combine the two, you can choose, like, a city which is close to the sea to a seaside place or you can choose a seaside place which is like a city and you can actually combine both. |
