Where I Want to Live

    If I could live anywhere I wanted, that place would need to have certain attributes to fulfill my requirements. What's the point of living somewhere that you don't like? When you leave the house after you're finished school, or when you're moving, you always need to try your best to live somewhere that you can feel comfortable. A variety of things would factor into my decision if I were to live somewhere. Here are some of them.

First up is climate and weather. I like a place that has a nice, warm climate in the summertime, but also a cool, cozy climate in the wintertime. Toronto is a perfect example. The summers are nice and hot, and the winters are cool and fun most of the time. Most people tend to favour summer, but I love both summer and winter for different reasons. I also hate rain, so living in a rainy area wouldn't work with me very well. Luckily, Toronto is quite balanced in terms of sunny and rainy days. So if I were looking for a place to live and I based my decision entirely on climate and weather, I would stay put, right here in Toronto.

     Safety is another concern. If I were to live somewhere I would want to make sure that I'm safe from criminal activity. It's always important to try and settle somewhere safe, so you don't put yourself and others in danger. Places like Detroit or Mexico City are VERY bad choices, as those cities are filled with crime. Toronto, as it is, is already a very safe place. If I'm looking for a new place to move to, I really don't need to go anywhere; Toronto fulfills my expectations again.

     Lastly, I would make sure that the place that I want to live is healthy, meaning not a lot of diseases spreading around. Places like Africa or India have several deadly diseases spreading among it's inhabitants, such as Ebola. Toronto, and Canada as a whole, is considered to be very safe health-wise. we're lucky to not have to deal with deadly diseases such as Ebola or Malaria, and our doctors and hospitals are well-trained and have the knowledge to control certain health-related issues. Toronto once again has everything I need to live a safe, healthy lifestyle.

     If I had to decide somewhere else where I would want to live, my decision would be quite simple: No where. Toronto has everything I need to live a happy life. Of course, it's always fun taking a trip with your family to Disney World or going up north to your cottage where it's always a bit chillier outside, but as for a place where I would want to "set up shop," so to speak, I really don't need to go anywhere. It's impossible to know where you'll end up in your future. Maybe you'll get a job that requires you to travel around a lot, or maybe you'll get a job that you can work from home. There's so many things that could happen, but who knows what will? Only time will tell.

  1. Great introductory paragraph, but make sure you list all your sub-topics in the introduction. Don't make the reader guess or wonder what you are going to be talking about.
    This was very good. There were a few mechanical issues in the piece but overall it was very good.
