A. Listen and read the words. Listen again and say the words.

Every day, people pack their belongings and move to new places.

It's possible that you moved to the city that you live in now.

Let's look at three important reasons people move.

People move to find jobs and a better life.

Sometimes, people move from rural areas  to urban areas,

In 1990, about a quarter of the people in China lived in cities.

Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities.

People find a better way of life in other countries, too.

In the 1950s, immigrants from Europe moved to  Brazil to work in factories.

Around the world, people move abroad to find  new jobs and a better life.

When another city has good services, people want to move  there.

For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools.

A city with good services may also be a cleaner and safer place to live.

Sometimes people move from a city to areas called  suburbs.

Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls, and zoos.

Families with young children like to live in suburbs.

Finally, people move when they want a change in their lives.

Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather.

Some students go to universities in  another country to learn about other places

Whatever the reason, people often move to  find new experiences and a better life.

As you can see, people move for many reasons.

Maybe someday you or someone  you know will move, too!
