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.
