Life in the Woods

The environment in which we live, affects our mood and habits more than we think. In my childhood I have lived in many different surroundings, to be precise - I live Berlin, Germany. Berlin is a very big city and a lot of tourists love to visit Berlin every year, but in my opinion there are many beautiful places yet to discover. Most people who think of Berlin, speak about the crowded districts with many shops or clubs. I was born in Berlin and I would never move to these areas, I prefer to live at the rural corners of Berlin. When people describe the typical person that lives in Berlin, they often say: always in a bad mood and always complaining but where does this really come from? I think it’s the environment. Ever since I live in the corner of Berlin, I feel a lot more calm and relaxed. I love to walk in the woods and wide fields of grass. Of course, you need to make sacrifices for this: reduced public transport opportunities, seeing your friends less or a longer walk to next supermarket, but I would never change my life with someone, who lives in the crowded areas in Berlin. Everyone I met in the quiet/ less crowded areas of Berlin seems more happy, relaxed and generally more balanced in life. The answer is clear: If you live in a less crowded place, you will enjoy better life quality.

In my childhood, I have lived in many different surroundings, t. To be precise - I live Berlin, Germany. In my childhood, I lived in many different surroundings. To be precise I live Berlin, Germany.

In my childhood I have lived in many different surroundingplaces, to be precise - I live in Berlin, Germany. In my childhood I lived in many different places, to be precise - I live in Berlin, Germany.

1) Because your childhood is a specific, completed time period you need to use the past simple (lived) instead of the present perfect (have lived). 2) ‘Surroundings’ is grammatically okay, but it tends to refer to the immediate physical environment around you (trees, buildings and furniture). It also sounds quite clinical and scientific, we are more likely to use places, areas or even settings.

Berlin is a very big city and a lot of tourists love to visit Berlin every year, but in my opinion there are many beautiful places yet to discover.

Ever since I live in the corner of Berlin, I feel a lot more calm and relaxed.


Ever since I've lived in the rural corner of Berlin, I've feelt a lot more calmer and more relaxed. Ever since I've lived in the rural corner of Berlin, I've felt a lot calmer and more relaxed.

Ever sSince I have lived in theis corner of Berlin, I feel a lot more calm and relaxedat ease. Since I have lived in this corner of Berlin, I feel a lot more at ease.

1) ‘Ever since’ is grammatically correct, but it feels quite dramatic here. 2) Because the action of you living in this area of Berlin started in the past and is ongoing, you should use the present perfect here (to connect the past and present). 3) ‘In the corner’ this makes it should as if you are physically sitting in the corner of a room. By using ‘in this corner’ it signals that you are referring to a specific, cozy neighbourhood. 4) Both ‘calm’ and ‘relaxed’ virtually mean the same thing, so they sound a little repetitive when placed together. To avoid this repetition you can use ‘at ease’ a nice idiom that signifies being ‘calm and relaxed’.

I love to walk in the woods and wide fields of grass.


This sentence has been marked as perfect!

I love to walk in the woods and in (wide fields of grass / meadows). I love to walk in the woods and in (wide fields of grass / meadows).

Because ‘the woods’ and ‘wide fields of grass’ are two locations adding a second ‘in’ shows that they are two distinct places and it also give them their own space in the sentence. Also, while you can use ‘wide fields of grass’, we are more likely to use the word ‘meadows’.

Of course, you need to make sacrifices for this: reduced public transport opportunities, seeing your friends less or a longer walk to next supermarket, but I would never change my life with someone, who lives in the crowded areas in Berlin.


Of course, you need to make sacrifices for this: reduced public transport opportunities, seeing your friends less, or a longer walk to nexarest supermarket, but I would never change my life with someone, who lives in the crowded areas inof Berlin. Of course, you need to make sacrifices for this: reduced public transport opportunities, seeing your friends less, or a longer walk to nearest supermarket, but I would never change my life with someone who lives in the crowded areas of Berlin.

Of course, you need to make sacrifices for this: reduced public transport opportunities, seeing your friends less or afewer transport options, less time with friends and longer walks to the next supermarket, but I would never change my lifetrade places with someone, who lives in the crowded pareas ints of Berlin. Of course, you need to make sacrifices for this: fewer transport options, less time with friends and longer walks to the next supermarket, but I would never trade places with someone, who lives in the crowded parts of Berlin.

1) So, when we list things in English, we like their descriptions to match grammatically, this is called parallelism. The examples given in your text are as follows… - reduced public transport (adjective + noun) - seeing your friends less (an -ing action) - a longer walk (a noun phrase) While these are all grammatically okay, they feel a little awkward (in a list) to a native ear because they all follow different grammatical structures- the ‘rhythm’ of the sentence feels a little off. With the changes made, each of the examples now follows the same structure (quantity + noun). 2) We use the idiom ‘to trade places [with someone]’ to signify swapping our life/situation with another person.

Everyone I met in the quiet/ less crowded areas of Berlin seems more happy, relaxed and generally more balanced in life.


Everyone I meet in the quiet/ less crowded areas of Berlin seems more happy,happier, more relaxed and generally more balanced in life. Everyone I meet in the quiet/less crowded areas of Berlin seems happier, more relaxed and generally more balanced in life.

Everyone I meet in the quiet/ less crowded areas of Berlin seems more happy, relaxed and generally more balanced in life. Everyone I meet in the quiet/ less crowded areas of Berlin seems more happy, relaxed and generally more balanced in life.

1) You have used ‘met’ here which is a past tense verb conjugation, since the rest of your sentence is in the present tense, you should either alter ‘met’ too ‘meet’ so it is also in the present tense. Or change the rest of your sentence to the past tense (e.g. seemed).

The answer is clear:

If you live in a less crowded place, you will enjoy better life quality.


If you live in a less crowded place, you will enjoy better life quality of life. If you live in a less crowded place, you will enjoy better quality of life.

"quality of life" is a set expression.

‘Quality of life’ is the idiomatic way to phrase this.
