Dear Stella,

Thanks for letting me know about your hometown.

Let me tell you about my hometown, Burano. Burano is an island in the north of Italy, about 7 km from Venice. You can take a 40-minute waterbus ride from Venice. It is famous for its colorful houses. You can take great photos wherever you are on the island. Burano is also famous for its seafood. A lot of restaurants serve great, fresh seafood at cheap prices. Burano is very quiet and peaceful. About three thousand people live here.

It is better to visit Burano in summer because it is very cold in winter.

Please write back soon. I want to know about your family.

Your friend,

Ricardo
