WHICH COUNTRY SHOULD WE ALL MOVE TO?

By Savanah Bruns and Rhian Nicholls

Introduction – Norway or Sweden

All the Australian people now have to move to either Norway or Sweden. Savanah and I have discovered which country is better for all of us to move to.

Norway or Sweden? Two countries from Europe. Today we will discover why we should and shouldn’t move to either one of these countries.

These 2 countries are very different although they are right next to each other. That’s why we went and researched how they are different and why one is better than the other.

Our questions are very relevant to what a person that is moving to a new country needs to know because they are questions like the population, do they learn English, is anything affordable for the average person and the disaster statistics.
