How to save money

  • Go shopping only when it’s necessary! Don’t waste your money going shopping even if you don’t need to.
  • When your parents or relatives ask you which present you want, don’t ask unnecessary things, but say that you want money that you will spend on your future trip.

Milazzo: beaches and reserves to protect

Milazzo has always been known for its wonderful beaches and its promontories. But of course, as in every other place, here too there’s the problem of pollution. There are lots of beaches visited every year by tourists and sometimes they are very disappointed because of the litter on the streets and on the reserves.

What has been done in the years to avoid the problem of pollution?

Online, you can see several articles about the efforts of lots of citizens over the years to make our city a better place. For example, some volunteers decided to contribute to reclaiming and cleaning of a path in Capo Milazzo. This way, it has been possible to save a part of a route that otherwise would have been impossible to cross.

Lately, the mayor of Milazzo put 25 containers for used clothes, and the best thing is that their positions are on Google Maps! So they are really easy to find and use everytime.

What about students and young people? What are they doing in the summer to reduce the problem of pollution?

On 14 August, 2021 a group of friends organised meetings to talk about the pollution problem in Milazzo and how to reduce it, proposing some ideas and alternatives. Then they went to the beaches and collected rubbish in huge plastic bags. Once they finished they were really surprised, but at the same time disappointed.

They said “We got together to try to remedy the problem of sea pollution. In a short time, we all understood the meaning of our small contribution; after a few hours we had already filled a huge amount of bags, and everything seemed to be unbelievable.”

Finally, they concluded by saying “Our intent is only to raise awareness among the population on the correct disposal of waste; we will organize new meetings and we will increasingly demonstrate our identity!”

Harry’s House: Harry Styles’ new album

Have you listened to Harry Styles’ new album “Harry’s House” Yet? No?! You have to do that RIGHT NOW! 

Since it was released on 20 May 2022, it has become very famous because Harry hasn’t released any songs for 3 years and everyone has been waiting for his return to the music industry. In fact, we were very surprised but also excited, when he announced the release date.

The original tracklist pubished on the official Instagram profile of Harry Styles.

The album consists of 13 songs and our favourites are: As It Was, Satellite, Matilda, Little Freak and Love Of My Life. All of them have a very important meaning and they are also the most appreciated by the listeners. We are huge fans of Harry Styles!

This album is about Harry’s personal process to find his interior peace and confidence and it is his favourite of the three he has released in his career: “Harry Styles”, “Fine Line”, “Harry’s House”.

Many songs are about stages of his life and how much he grew up, and finally finding himself. He decided to write this album and published it because he thought that so many people who would have listened to it could have identified themselves in some songs.

The album is also enjoyable to listen to because the songs give lots of good vibes and the melody is very catchy. The lyrics are not difficult to understand especially for people who are not British and don’t know English very well.

You can listen to it anytime and you never feel never tired of this WONDERFUL album! We recommend it to young people, especially teenagers, but also to anyone who knows Harry Styles only as the singer of “Sign of the Times” or “Watermelon Sugar”, because he is more than this.

He wrote lots of other songs that in our opinion, are masterpieces, for example “Fine Line”, “Falling” etc.

We have also added a short track of “As it Was”.

Hope you liked it!

P.S.

Write us comments of what you think about it: What was your first impression when you listened to it?, What’s the song you liked more and the one you liked less?
