What is the best country in the world? URUGUAY

The best country in the world is, of course, Uruguay.

Uruguay is a really small country located in South America, between Brazil and Argentina. It doesn't have a large population but its heart is big!

My country is a very peaceful and comfortable place to live. People is friendly and educated, you can ask for help anyone in the street. The standard of living is very good and the pace of live a bit slow.

It's very common to see people drinking "mate" on the street and everywhere. Mate is the typical Uruguayan drink, is a kind of herbal tea, but you need a cup and a thermo with hot water to drink it.

The weather is really nice from January to March if you like the beach and sunbathing. But in winter the climate change and it is really freezing and windy.

Uruguay has many places to visit. Montevideo is the capital of the country. It has a beautiful European architecture, loads of parks and beaches. Other beautiful place is Punta del Este, it is one of the most modern and cosmopolitan cities in South America. It is very popular with tourists. You can find extravagant hotels, exclusive restaurants, a great night life and fantastic beaches.

However Uruguay also has natural areas, where you can enjoy closer to the nature. For example, Rocha is a province in the west of the country, where you can do many sports like paragliding, surfing, and climb sand hills. Rocha has spectacular views and scenery, and the sunset at the beach is the best!

About the food, you will be able to eat delicious roast beef and barbecues. And enjoy drinking excellent red wines!

There is no conclusion in this essay. You cannot use "you" or "my" or any variations, because it makes the essay informal. Your tone here:


is not very convincing. What if I don't like beaches and sunbathing? Is there something for me? Who wants to go to a place that is freezing and windy? Try to use something nicer.

Your essay brings up a lot of nice points about Uruguay, but it still doesn't answer the question. How does it compare with other countries? People can be friendly anywhere. What makes Uruguay special? Are there any studies to support your statements? Why is it the best? What are you trying to compare in terms of "best"? Best economy, best tourism industry, best banana growing skills?

You really captured the essence of Uruguay in your short essay although I would advise you to revise the grammatical structure of some of your sentences.

Make it clear from the beginning that you are from Uruguay to make sure that there are no misconceptions - I was a little misled in the beginning believing that you were not a native of Uruguay.

But overall, great work! Try to connect your sentences a little more as well :)

Best of Luck!
