In Corsico there are many green parks where you can play and have fun with your friends and this is one of the positive aspects. We also can find everything we need here.There are lots of negative aspects in Corsico, such as the fog, the smog and not all the people are very friendly ...it takes one hour and half to get to the sea and the beaches…we would like to see the sea everyday!

What is positive and negative in our city…
