  1. The article I’m going to give a review of is taken from the website cnbc.com. It’s headline is “The top 10 cities to live and work abroad this year”, it was written by Jennifer Liu on November 29, 2002.

    The topic of the article is about cities in which there is the best level of life. The first place takes Valencia. People say that it’s a safe place with an excellent climate. The second place takes Dubai. The only disadvantage is a high cost of living. The third place is Mexico. Then the list includes Lisbon, Madrid, Bangkok, Basel, Melbourne, Abu Dhabi and Singapore. This list is based on the following categories of life: environment, case of settling in, personal finance and stable local economy.

    In conclusion the author gives us a few less desirable relocations as Johannesburg, Frankfurt and Paris.

    I agree with Jennifer and from my point of view the article is very helpful for those who want to move and change their places.

  2. The article I’m going to give a review of is taken from “make it”. The headline of the article is “The top 10 cities to live and work abroad this year”. It is written by Jennifer Liu and published 29 November. The key issue of the article is the best cities that expats choose in 2022. The story begins with a description of Valencia, the city that is the most popular among the workers. The author describes in details why it is the main choice of expats. The main factors that influence the choice are the low cost of living, good quality of medical care, ease of settling in, working abroad, expat essentials. This is the list of this cities starting from the best and most famous:

    Valencia, Spain

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Mexico City, Mexico

    Lisbon, Portugal

    Madrid, Spain

    Bangkok, Thailand

    Basel, Switzerland

    Melbourne, Australia

    Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

    Singapore

    At the end of the story the author sums it all up by giving a list of some cities that are the least desirable to live. They’re Johannesburg, South Africa; Frankfurt, Germany; and Paris, France.

    I fully agree with the author. These places are very popular now and for good reason, the standard of living there is really very good.

  3. 1.Valencia earns the top spot for being "a safe place with an excellent climate, a vibrant nightlife and culture, a pleasant urban environment and great travel opportunities" while still being "fairly affordable," says InterNations founder Malte Zeeck.
    2.That's according to a survey of more than 12,000 respondents from InterNations, an online expat community with more than 4.5 million global members.
    3.Expats in second-place Dubai, meanwhile, enjoy a thriving social scene as well as good job prospects and a creative business culture. And newcomers to Mexico City rank it high as far as settling in and feeling at home, but low on environmental, climate and safety measures.
    4. The survey, conducted in February 2022 and released this week, asked expats to rate their satisfaction across five main categories, including quality of life (like a healthy environment and robust public transit), ease of settling in (such friendliness of local residents), personal finance (such as access to affordable health care), working abroad (such as job security and a stable local economy), and "expat essentials," which covers digital life, housing options, language barriers, and dealing with local government and administrative tasks.
