    The cost of living in countries like the United States, Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years, but, if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. So, if you have the flexibility of living wherever you please, and want to live in a country the cost of living is the cheapest in the world, check out these 3 countries when planning your next move.

    1 Cambodia

Cambodia may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a tropical paradise, but it's pretty close. The added bonus is that living here is insanely cheap, unlike some other tropical getaways. A luxury home with four bedrooms and a pool would only cost about $600 a month. A decent three bedroom vacation home can be purchased here for just $20,000. And, for only about $2,000 a year, you can also hire a gardener and housekeeper to take care of your property.

    2 Ecuador

    Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US dollar for their currency. In this country, it's cheaper to eat out everyday than cook for yourself on a budget in the U.S. You can even buy a property for around 50,000 and hire someone to tend to it while you're away.

    3 Mexico

    Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every amenity (便利设施) you might need. You can live off a mere $700 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, amenities, food, and any sightseeing.

  1. (1) How much money do you need to pay to look after your property for a year in Cambodia?
    A . $600. B . $2,000. C . $20,000. D . $7,00.
  2. (2) In which country you can enjoy a life like in America?
    A . Cambodia. B . Mexico. C . Ecuador. D . China.
  3. (3) What things will you be unable to enjoy in Mexico?
    A . Any scenery. B . Amenities. C . A nice place. D . Tropical climate.
What is the problem with her English?
