The move to Norway.

If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?

I would like to move to Norway. I have several reasons for that. Firstly, I like the nature there. There are fjords, ocean, mountains in this beautiful country, that I like more then other things.

- In English, people 'move to' a place; for example: 'I moved to a new apartment' or 'I moved to Shanghai'. In these sentences, 'move' is the verb; in your title, 'move' is a noun, but we still use 'to' after it.

- When talking about nature, if you're talking in a general way, you can just say 'nature'. Here it sounds a little vague, so I added the article. You like the nature in Norway, specifically.

- Your last sentence about the kinds of nature was good, but I moved 'in this beautiful country' forward in the sentence. To me, if 'in this beautiful country' was at the end, it sounded like you liked the nature more than other things in Norway -- the sentences afterward, though, show you like many things in Norway, so I made the change.

Secondly, I like the crystal cleanliness and order everywhere in Norway: in the streets, in people's minds, in government and human rights.

- I added 'in Norway' here just to help clarify -- it was like added the article to 'the nature'. You like the cleanliness in Norway, specifically. Also, since you used 'firstly', you might as well follow it with 'secondly'. I like this sentence, it sounds poetic!

I can list more and more, but this country is really excellent for one's standard of living, because honest people make fair rules for common convenience and the common good.

- This is a good sentence. What I changed are two collocations, two phrases you will usually see in the same form.

- Someone's 'standard of living' means 'how much money and comfort someone has' (Cambridge Learner's Dictionary, dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/learner-english/). So if someone has an excellent standard of living, or a high standard of living, they are living well and very comfortably. If they have a low standard of living, perhaps they living in a poor area, or they need more than they have in order to be comfortable.

- Doing something for 'the common good' means doing something that will help everyone (Cambridge Learner's Dictionary). So maybe someone improves healthcare 'for the common good' even though it will make taxes more expensive.

And the final reason is that I have relatives there. Namely, my mother- in- law lives in Norway and with my family I visit her very often. So, we would like to live closer to her. I believe that someday I will not be a tourist there.

- These sentences were very good! The big change I made was to move 'I' to the right of 'with my family'. 'With my family' sounds best if it goes before the subject and verb clause or immediately after it. So you could also say 'I visit her very often with my family.' In this sentence, 'I' and 'visit' should be kept together. It makes it clearer to understand.

- I also wanted to say, another way to say 'And the final reason is that' is to use the adverb 'finally'. So it would look like this: 'Finally, I have relatives there.' You can use 'finally' for the last thing in a list. You were listing things you liked about Norway: 'Firstly, secondly, thirdly, ... finally'.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best,

Julie
