The best place in the world
to live
Vancouver is the third biggest city in Canada. It’s in the
south west of the country and it has a population of 2.6
million. A recent study showed that it’s the best city in the
world to live. The study looked at areas like weather,
transport, education, healthcare, and safety. This study
happens every year and Vancouver is usually number one.
We asked Vancouver resident Jacob Meyers if he agrees.
I’ve lived in Vancouver all my life. I work for an engineering
company and I’ve travelled on business to many Canadian
cities. Two years ago another company offered me a very
good job in Montreal but I didn’t take it because I never want
to leave my city. Let me tell you why not:
Vancouver is situated between the mountains and the
Pacific Ocean. That means the summers aren’t too hot and
the winters aren’t too cold. It also rains a lot, in summer and
winter. Some people don’t like that but I do because our
gardens and parks are always green and fresh. Every day I
cycle or walk for an hour in a park and in Vancouver you’re
never more than a few minutes from one.
I don’t feel frightened when I walk in Vancouver’s streets at
night. Of course, Vancouver has a high population and
there’s crime in every big city, but compared to the USA, for
example, it’s quite safe.
But my favourite thing about Vancouver is its incredible mix
of nationalities. I’ve got friends here from all over the world.
And there’s an enormous variety of foreign food in the
restaurants and markets. I’ve eaten wonderful dishes from
China, India, Italy, Greece, and Japan and I haven’t been to
any of these places.
Example: Vancouver is bigger than all the other
Canadian cities.

Joe This train is so slow! I’m going to be late to meet my
friend.
Bess Yes, it is slow, isn’t it? … Well, we’re lucky – we have
seats. A lot of people are standing.
Joe Well, the trains are always busy at this time. People
are going home from work.
Bess I’m not. I’m travelling to work.
Joe But it’s a quarter past five …
Bess Yes … I’m a nurse. I sometimes work in the day, but
this week I’m working in the evenings.
Joe Do you enjoy your work?
Bess Yes, I do, but I’m going to change jobs in a few months
because I want to travel. I’m studying to become an
English teacher and then I hope to go to Japan for a
year and teach English.
Joe Really? I’ve been to Japan lots of times. I’m a flight
attendant. I work for an American airline. When I do
long flights, I stay in the country for a couple of days
before I fly home again.
Bess How wonderful! … Do they serve food on this train?
Joe Just snacks, I think.
Bess I’m going to get a coffee. Would you like one?
Joe No, thanks, but I’d like a packet of crisps. I’m really
hungry. I got on this train four hours ago and I haven’t
eaten anything.
Bess Sure.
Joe Thanks very much. That’s very kind.
Bess That’s fine. I’ll be back in a few minutes.

1
Well, a lot of people like the summer months when it’s light in
the evenings. I do too, but I prefer autumn when it’s still quite
warm and the leaves are a beautiful red and yellow colour. It gets
dark earlier, but I love sitting in front of the fire in the living
room and reading a book.
2
I play football at the park every Sunday afternoon with friends,
which is fun. I cycle to and from work every day. I live about five
kilometres from work, so that’s a lot of cycling. And there’s a
gym at work, which is great and I use that once or twice a week.
So, I do quite a lot, really.
3
Not a lot. I got up quite late. I’m reading a great book at the
moment, so I read that in bed for a couple of hours before I got
up. In the afternoon, I took the bus into town and met some
friends for a coffee. The next day I did housework in the
morning and played tennis in the afternoon.
4
It depends. In the spring, summer and autumn, I cycle. It’s great,
because it’s cheap, it’s fast, and it’s really good exercise. But I
don’t like using my bike in winter when it’s very cold and windy,
so I usually get the bus then.
5
It’s called One Day In Winter. It’s about a murder in a haunted
house. A friend gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago. I’ve
read two or three novels by the same writer, but this one’s
definitely the most exciting.
