17.LIFESTYLE

It is way how we lead our life. It means where and how we live, what we usually eat and do. It depends on many facts. For example: How I am old , What my job and interests is....

I think it is up to everybody how we spend our life.

Lifestyle is our attitude to the life, to the work, to the friends and at least to the whole society. Each nationality has its own lifestyle.

  • For example the Englishman is closed and conservative and never share his feelings with his environment.
  • The Americans are very friendly, but they live to work not work to live.
  • And the Australians called “OZ people“ are really easy going people who enjoy themselve as much as is possible and take everything easy. Still smiling and dont pursue for anyhing.People are as well fet as in America...
