Comparing New Zealand, Venezuela, and Thailand

Author's Note:
This is a comparison essay comparing New Zealand, Venezuela, and Thailand.


The three countries that I decided to compare are New Zealand, Thailand, and Venezuela.  Between New Zealand and Venezuela, I would rather live in New Zealand, because of two major reasons.  One, in Venezuela there is .70% chance of getting HIV/AIDS, while in New Zealand there is a .10% chance of getting HIV/AIDS. The second reason is that in Venezuela people normally live to be 73, while in New Zealand people normally live to be 80. 

Comparing Venezuela and Thailand were a little bit more difficult though.  Every category was about the same, but in Thailand I would have an 85% more chance at being employed.  So out of the two, I would rather live in Thailand. 

Between Thailand and New Zealand, I would like to live in New Zealand.  I would like to live in New Zealand because I would make three and a half times as much money!  In Thailand the average yearly income is $8,100 while in New Zealand it's $27,300.  Finally, out of all three of the countries I would like to live in New Zealand the most.

  1. You had a lot of statistics for each of the countries. Great job organizing into paragraphs, but I think that if you took more time your paragraphs could have been even better. Overall, good job.
