Well, I would like to talk about my favorite place to live and work. So it’s called Switzerland. I will all the time recommend this country. I will give you some basic information. First of all, Switzerland is located in Europe and is bordered by Germany, France, Italy and Australia. It is one of the cleanest and safest countries in the world. Berlin is the capital of Switzerland. The country is famous for its green spaces, huge mountains, over 150 types of cheese and popular brands such as Rolex. The atmosphere is very clear and its natural environment is so glamorous and gorgeous. Switzerland population speaks four languages, German, Italian, French, Romance and it depends on their religion but it doesn’t mean that people can talk all four languages anywhere. The main reason I can say that I can say there are astonishing activities there. People often swim lake, they jump into a lake from a birch and swim to their workplaces. In addition, the government also focuses on clear road signs which helps people find their way way more easily. On the other hand, living there can be more expensive than other compared other countries. For instance, many residents cannot afford to buy their own home so living as a tenant is more comfortable and cheaper. Despite this point, I still recommend prefer to live in Switzerland. I’m planning to visit Switzerland in the future. I hope it will be.
