TOPIC 2 FOR FINAL TEST

Your organization/company wants you to live and work in a city in

Europe/ˈjʊərəp/. Which city would you choose and why?

If my company wanted me to live and work in a city in Europe, I would

choose[tʃuːz] Amsterdam/ˈæmstərdæm/.

Amsterdam/ˈæmstərdæm/ is the largest city and the capital of the

Netherlands/ˈnɛðərləndz/. It’s one of Europe’s best cities to live in the world.

Amsterdam/ˈæmstərdæm/ has an oceanic/,ouʃi'ænik/ climate['klaɪmɪt] with

cool[kuːl] summers but not cold winters. The climate['klaɪmɪt] is wonderful all

year to live and work.

Amsterdam/ˈæmstərdæm/ is the financial[faɪ'nænʃl] and business capital of

the Netherlands/ˈnɛðərləndz/. So, it will provide[prə'vaɪd] me with better

conditions[kən'dɪʃn], many opportunities[‚ɑpər'tjuːnətɪ/‚ɒpə't-] to learn and

develop[dɪ'veləp] myself and I can also have many chances to get a good job to

earn a lot of money.

Public['pʌblɪk] transport mainly['meɪnlɪ] consists of bus and tram[træm]

lines. Especially[ɪ'speʃəlɪ], the city is one of the most bicycle-friendly large cities

in the world and is a centre['sentə] of bicycle culture['kʌltʃə]. Riding a bicycle

can be easy, inexpensive[‚ɪnɪk'spensɪv], convenient/kən'vi:njənt/, and

comfortable['kʌmfətəbl].

The Dutch[dʌtʃ] capital Amsterdam/ˈæmstərdæm/ is famous['feɪməs] for its

unique[juː'nɪːk] canals[kə'næl]. Moreover[mɔː'rəʊvə(r)], there are a lot of

beautiful views of the landscape and many places around[ə'raʊnd] the city to

visit['vɪzɪt]. Such as: The Westerpark, Golden Age grandeur['grændʒə(r)] at the

Canal[kə'næl] House, The Van Gogh Museum[mjuː'zɪəm]...

The city also has high standard of education and life style[staɪl]. The health

care system['sɪstəm] is very good. The people here are so friendly and they

always ready to help you as much as they can.
