5. Write your personal conclusion about this topic.

I would like to live in Germany because I really like the German culture and I find
interesting the way of living over there. I think I wouldn’t suffer the culture shock
because I ain’t soft, so I would open my mind and prepare myself mentally for my
new way of living.
