Where is the preposition of time and place?

I was born in Tawau, Sabah on the 14 of June in 1997.
Tawau is in the state of Sabah in Malaysia. That was many
years ago. Now, I live in Venice, Italy. I work at the
International School. I sometimes go to a movie theatre at
8 p.m. In the summer, which is usually in June, I go home
to visit my family in Malaysia. My family will and I will go to
the beach and relax in the sun in the morning and in the
afternoon too. In the evening, we often eat at a restaurant
with our friends. Sometimes, we go to park at night. On
other weekends, I drive to the countryside. We like to
meet our friends at a café for coffee. In fact, we’ll meet
some friends at a great Arabic restaurant on Sunday.
