If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
If I could change one thing about my hometown, I think it would be the fact that there is no sense of community here People don’t feel
connected, they don’t look out for each other, and they don’t get to know their neighbors.
People here don’t feel connected to the community They come and go
a lot They change jobs frequently and move on This means that they don’t put down roots in the community They don’t join community organizations and they don’t get involved in community issues They don’t participate in the schools or try to beautify the neighborhoods They don’t feel like
community members.
People don’t try to support others around them They don't watch out for each others’ children or check in on elderly neighbors They may not know if a neighbor loses a loved one There’s not a lot of community support for individuals.
Neighbors don’t get to know each other When neighbors go on
vacation, no one watches their house for them When neighbors’ children ride their bikes through someone’s garden, there’s no casual, friendly way
of mentioning the problem A simple problem becomes a major
disagreement.
My hometown is a nice place to live in many ways, but it would be much nicer if we had that sense of community (216 words)
