My name is Damian Costa. I was born in a small village in Italy in 1952. I spent the first few Years of my life there before my family 1 to Perth Australia. We arrived in Australia in the summer of 1957. I went to 2 and I had to attend special classes to learn English as all the lessons were taught in English. We did not have much 3 . so we lived very simply. My parents worked as cleaners. They earned (挣钱) just enough for us to survive (维持生活) and 4 a little money. My father had always wanted to 5 a small restaurant. Finally. 6 ten years of hard work, in June1967, he managed to save enough and opened our first pizzeria (比萨饼店) . 7 business was slow at first, it soon got better. I helped out at the pizzeria after school and at weekends. Just two years after we 8 my father decided that we needed a full-time waiter. Then he decided to 9 me the art of makingwood-fired pizzas. Today we have three branches( 分店 ),in Perth. Sydney and Adelaide. My children have 10 learned how to make pizzas and they quite enjoy it. I hope to pass on the business to them.
