Where I would like to live
I would like to live in many different counties, but my number one is Japan. I would like to spend a few years there.
The main reason is that this country attracts me with the ability of its people to live in harmony and peace. I also admire the way the Japanese preserve their rich culture. Their technological development has provided the highest living standards in the world. I am fascinated by how the Japanese make and use robots. It is also amazing to see a combination of the ancient and the modern in towns and cities of Japan. There is always a beautiful old temple and a picturesque lake not far from new skyscrapers. Besides, Japan is extremely clean and safe. The Japanese are polite and helpful. I have read that they grow up with a proverb that says: "After someone has done something nice for us, we should do something nice for the other person. But after someone has done something bad to us, we shouldn’t do something bad to the other person". I wish all the people in the world knew the proverb.
One more reason for my wish to live in Japan is food. Japanese food is healthy and delicious.

The British Isles lie in the north-west of Europe. They consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and many smaller ones. Great Britain, the largest island in Europe, includes England, Scotland, and Wales. It is separated from Ireland by the Irish Sea, and from the Continent by the English Channel and the Straits of Dover. Great Britain and Northern Ireland form the United Kingdom (UK).
The surface of England and Ireland is flat, but the surface of Scotland and Wales is mountainous. The mountains are almost all in the western part. The highest mountain in the United Kingdom is Ben Nevis in Scotland (1343 m). The longest river is the Severn. It is in the south-west of England. The Thames is not so long as the Severn, it is shorter. The sea enters deeply into the land and has a great influence on the climate, which is damp but rather mild: the winter is not very cold and the summer is not very hot.
Over 57 million people live in the United Kingdom. Most of the people of Great Britain live in big towns and cities.
The capital of the country is London. The main industrial centres are Sheffield and Birmingham where iron goods are made, Manchester, the cotton centre of England, and others.
<span>The important ports of the country are London, Liverpool, Glasgow and others.</span>
