Living in another country

Some people move to another country to learn another language, and other people move to
travel around the country and to meet people. If you want to find out about another country,
then going to live there is a good idea.

If you decide to live in another country, first you should think about where you want to go. It’s
a good idea to go somewhere where you have friends or family, so that you have people to
get together with. The weather isn’t something you should think about if you are going to be
staying for a few months.

There are a lot of jobs that people can do in different countries and some people only need a
cell phone and a laptop for their work. You should think about if you prefer to work for a
company, or if you prefer to work for yourself before you go. If you work for a company, you
may meet more people, but if you work on your own, then you decide when and where you
work.

Moving to another country can be expensive, so it’s a good idea to work before you go to
make some extra money.

Living in another country is always a big move, but it is always exciting.

1. Going to live in another country is a good / bad way to learn a lot about a place.

2. The first thing you should think about is your job / where you want to go.

3. It is / isn’t important what the weather is like.

4. You should think about your work when / before you arrive in the new country.

5. Moving to another country is / isn’t cheap.
