Writing exercise

What do you think will be the challenges of you and your family relocating to Japan in the near future?

Revised:

I think it is a good challenge for us to relocate to Japan.

Firstly, the risk of Chinese government restriction is bigger and bigger in the K-12 education sector, it is a good decision to close the business now to control the amount of loss. Also, I am very pessimistic about the future of Chinese economy.

Secondly, the environment of child education in Japan is not so competitive and the cost is more reasonable than in China, so relocating to Japan is a good choice for our kid.

Finally, I like the nature and various fun places in Japan.
Besides, I have a driver’s license in Japan, so it is very convenient to go to many places by car.

I’m very excited to take on/try the new challenges in Japan.
Anyway, it is most important to put in efforts and to work hard anywhere you are.
