Switzerland, with a territory of 42,285 square kilometres and a population of only 7.7 million, is one of the most developed countries and the Swiss are among the richest in the world. has the richest people. It (1) is multi-cultural, (1) has beautiful natural scenery, world cultural heritage sites, world cultural heritage, many distinctive art galleries and renowned active artists in the world.
With the rapid economic development, Swiss society, like (2) China's, faces the lack of maintenance (3) erosion of traditional culture which whose value is worth preserving inheriting. I find found that the philosophy of the Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu, 's philosophy can still be embodied in modern Chinese society. Therefore, by staying in Switzerland, I want to explore the phenomena of traditional moral values embodied in modern Swiss society (4) and compare them with modern social phenomena in China, so as to express disseminate the changes and values of traditional culture through works of art.
Hi Sandra,
Just some suggestions for your writing:
(1) We use the linking verb "is" to link an adjective (multi-cultural) to the pronoun (It). We use "has" to describe a possession or having a quality.
Examples:
Dominic has great wealth. (Dominic possesses/owns a lot of assets.)
Dominic is wealthy. (The adjective "wealthy" describes "Dominic".)
(2) We need the apostrophe ('s) to mean "Chinese society".
Another example:
This painting, just like his, is impressive.
This painting, just like Derrick's, is impressive.
(3) We can use the word "erosion" to describe the loss of a culture with time.
(4) When the subject of a sentence is doing more than one thing, we do not separate them with a comma.
Example: Tim will sing, and play the saxophone. (incorrect) / Tim and sing and play the saxophone. (correct)
I would say "and is home to some of the richest people" - I think it sounds more natural.
