This is a great game? Do you think it's great? What's great about it, tell me!
SvaraRaderaI think that Simcity Buildit is a great game. You get to build your city and watch it expand. Watching the population grow and the buildings going from small houses to big skyscrapers is awesome. It's a bit annoying that you have to wait for the resources to finish but it's fine.
RaderaSimcity buildit is a fun game you do much and you build a city I learn more English words and from the start of the game you have small houses then if you build it they be bigger and bigger
RaderaAbout the game you build houses and get more population and more things in your city and you also get levels if you upgrade and build you get level
RaderaThe game is about get your city biggest you can.
I think it's a pretty fun game. You get to do so much, control and build buildings, increas the population. But the bad part is that you have to wait to get material, and for that you need patience. But over all it's a fun game, and it's really easy to get addicted to. /Engla
SvaraRadera*increase
SvaraRaderaHi Engla! Yes it's easy to get addicted and you do want things to happen a bit quicker. But I guess it's good to practice ones patience too...
RaderaBy what reasons do your inhabitants move out?
SvaraRaderaThey are moving out because the maybe live near a factory. They don't feel happy when they have no water or electricity so for that reason they can move out too. /Klara
RaderaWhy is it not a good idea to place your factories near Residential zones?
SvaraRaderaBecause the area around the factories becomes polluted which makes the air dirty, that makes the inhabitants unhappy.
RaderaHow do you like the design of this game?
SvaraRaderaI think the design is in good quality. I like that you can zoom in and out with your fingers and move around so that you see the houses in different perspectives.
RaderaWould you recommend this game to a friend? Why / why not?

RaderaI think that it's a pretty fun game. I like to build things in the game and I also like to work with my brain.
RaderaI shoud recommend the game to a friend because I like the game very much, and lot of my friends like same things that i like.
One thing I dont like with the game is that you have to wait for a long time before your production is ready.

Hi Erik! Thank your for your comment. It is clear and relevant. Note that "I would recommend" is better that "I should reccomend" in this context.
RaderaI think that it is a little bit funny but it's not the funniest game i've played but quite fun. Its easy to learn the game by the instructions and when you well are in the game it is many stuffs you must have an eye of. I mean you can't have a breath before you must build the next thing, so it's stressful but fun. / Johan Rom 8.
SvaraRaderaI think this game is a pretty fun game. It is a very stressfull game becasue you want to build new thing evry time so you get more peaple in your town, but still very funny game. You learning more when you playing becasue you reading all the instructions. When you have started you can't stop becasue you want to build more and more./ Hugo Granander München 8

SvaraRaderaI´think this game is quite funny. I´dont have play so much because I don´t had the time. I´think you learn a lot of english because of all the instructions you get. You must read the instructions so you understand how you must do in the game. But the bad part is that you must wait a long time to get material and that is not pretty funny./ Filip MOEN KLASS 8 MUNCHEN
SvaraRaderaI don't really get this game, and you have to wait all the time and that's kinda boring. I'm kinda bad of reading instructions so I guess that I need to get better of that.
SvaraRaderaThis type of game is not really what I usually play, but it's funny to try something new.

SvaraRaderaI don't like to play games and I don't play games often but i think sim city buildit is funny. I have learnt many new words cause I need to read the instructions to understand the game. It's fun to build bigger houses and get more population but the hard ting is that you need much money to buy all the important things to the population like energy, water and sewage, if you don't buy the important things the population will be sad and pay smaller tax to you. I like the small funny comments from the population;)
SvaraRaderaWhat level are you in, Linn? :) I'm in level 7 right now
RaderaI like the game it's very funny but it's not the funniest game. I wished that you could be the mayor and go to mettings and press conferences. I also wished you could be in first person and go around or drive around in a car in the city. Things I like in the game are that you can go to other city's to import to tools and you also can compet against at other city's . Things I don't like about the game are that is hard to get money and you so many tools to upgrade. How do I get money fast ??
SvaraRaderaThank you for your comment, Olle! It is cler and relevant. You do mix the present and the past a little writing verbs, "wished" is past tense and you should use wish instead. Creative with your ideas about the mayor going to meetings and press conferences.
RaderaI like this game very much. I think it´s very funny game because you can do a lot of things such as building houses.Exchanged things with other people such as iron wood. One thing that also is very funny is that you are competing against other people. The reason that makes people move from you city are that you do them unhappy. To make them unhappy you build their houses near the factories. Another thing that makes them unhappy is that you build the fire stations outside from their areas. I Think this game design ARE very god locking its designed in their own way. Yes of course i would recommend the game for a freind because the game is very funny and you can do lots of things.
SvaraRaderaHi Carl! Thank you for your comment. It's relevant and quite clear. I'm glad that you rephrased "do them unhappy" to "make them unhappy" which is better. Note that "this game design" is singular and should be followed by the verb "is" instead of "ARE".

SvaraRaderaHi Stefan! I think simcity build it is a funny game but sometimes it could be a little bit boring. You can visit other friends cities and buy different things you need to your city. You need to make the people in your city happy, if they are unhappy they will not pay any taxes. Taxes is money, so you can buy firestations for example. To make them happy you need to buy things they ask for, like parks and stores. If you want more people in your city you need to upgrade your housies, then Will the population grow. In the left corner in the game you can see how many % of the population that is happy, your aim is allways to have 100%. I would recommend this game to My friends, funny game! //casper

SvaraRaderaI think this game is funny because you are building a new city from scratch. You'll have to produce raw materials and make the "sims" happy so they pay more taxes to you. I have noticed some hard words in the game but they were only a few. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone :)

Questions and comments
I think it's a fun game to play when you have nothing else to do. It can be kind of boring with all the waiting for your supplies and stuff to be crafted. But it's fun to see your city growing and your "people" are neither happy or sad. When the people are happy they will pay more tax and when they are sad they will pay less. So if you want to make money, make sure that the people are happy and get what they want, like parks, good roads and school and so on. You can build the city as you want it to. I have nothing else to say about the game. But it's funny and creative.
I think that the aim of the game is to have such a big city as you can possibly build. It takes time and a lot of waiting tho. Just be patient and creative, then you will reach the "goal" of the game.
Wen I was writing on the modal verbs my iPad died. So all that I had written is gone and I don't remember how the sentence was either. But I had written about can, could, must and should and that was all modal verbs I found. The only non satandard English I found was simoleons but simoleons is the money in the sim city. Example of a sentence is by 5436 simoleons to complete this action.
SvaraRadera/Filip Moen
5 MODAL VERBS
SvaraRaderaI didn't find so many different modal verbs so I wrote two of the words two times.

Can = kan
Mountain specialization buildings can only be placed on the unlocked mountain area.

Don't worry, your sims will soon be happy.
=

Can = kan

=

Should = bör / borde
If you want more population you should buy more parks
=

At times I thought the game were fun to play and well developed, and other times not so much, it takes a while to level up and so on and sometimes the game feels very boring because you sometimes need to wait for a couple of hours. Most of the time you are building diffrent buildings but you can also uppgrade and destroy the buildings. You are also always adapting to what your citizens want whilste leveling up. The more you level the more things you need to keep in mind, for exampel: water, electricity, sewage, fire, healthcare, security and waste management.
