Eighteen years from now when I'm all grown up and living on my own I think it would be cool to live in either Italy or Australia. One reason I would like to live in Italy is because they have a an amazing soccer team. Soccer is my favorite sport, even if I wasn't able to play i would still enjoy watching a game in one of their huge soccer arenas. One pull factor for moving to Italy is they have an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It's not the best in the world, but it’s better than the USA's. Another reason I want to move to Italy is the beautiful and historical land marks like the leaning tower of Pizza, and the ruins of Rome. Every day you would have a beautiful place to see and visit. It is also close enough that you could visit other very interesting places like France and Germany. Even though Italy is an amazing and beautiful place there are some downsides of living there. For example a push factor would be Italy has a very high crime rate. Pick-pocketing, purse snatching and theft from parked cars is a serious problem in Italy. When people go to the ATM they have to cover the number pad when they type in there pin so no one will steal there pin number. I would want to feel safe where I live this this would be a big push factor.
Australia is always warm and has beautiful beaches. I love beaches and warm weather. I also really like Australian accents so they wouldn’t get annoying like if I lived in China and couldn’t understand anything. A pull factor to live in Australia would be the warm weather and gorgeous beaches. During Christmas you could still go out on the beach! It also has a very good unemployment rate of 5.9%! The economy is also 15 largest in the world which isn’t as great as the United States but is still very good. A push factor of moving there is they have some of the biggest sharks in the world. Even though they have beautiful beaches I would be afraid of getting attacked. Finally another push factor is they are run by a constitutional monarchy. I don’t like the fact that I do not have complete say on how my country is run.
