- 1. The name of the organisation doing the survey:
Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)
- 2. The year of the survey:
2014
- 3. The names of the best city and the worst cities:
The best city is Melbourne in Australia and the worst one are Dhaka in Bangladesh, Tripoli in Libya, and Douala in Cameroon.
Which is the best city in the world to live in? Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducts a fascinating survey to determine which cities around the world “provide the best or worst living conditions”. It uses factors such as climate, transport, education, safety, and recreational facilities in cities. It gives scores for each, and ranks the cities in order - from the best to the worst.
For the year 2014, the top 10 cities came from Australia, Canada, Europe, and New Zealand. Melbourne in Australia had the highest score, which means it is the most ‘liveable’ city. Some famous cities came in the top 20, such as Tokyo (19th) and Paris (17th). Perhaps surprisingly, Osaka (13th) had the best score in Asia.
Cities with major conflicts tended to score the lowest. In these countries, living conditions were the most difficult or dangerous. Among the worst cities on the list were Dhaka in Bangladesh, Tripoli in Libya, and Douala in Cameroon.
However, some other organisations _ individuals would like to add other factors I the index. They say that a city's green sp urban sprawl, natural features, cul attractions, convenience, and pollution should be added to the list.
4a. Work in groups of five or six. Conduct a survey to rank your own town/city or a town city you know. Give from 10 points (the best to 1 point (the worst) to each factor.
Ask each student in your group the question: "How many points do you give to factor 1 - safety?
Then write the points in the table.
Làm việc theo nhóm 5-6 người. Thực hiện một cuộc khảo sát để xếp loại thành phố của bạn hoặc 1 thành phố mà bạn biết. Tối đa là 10 điểm ( 1 điểm là thấp nhất với mỗi đặc điểm)
Hỏi mỗi bạn trong nhóm câu hỏi " Bạn cho đặc điểm 1 bao nhiêu điểm?"
Sau đó viết điểm vào bảng
