Essay # 1

The environment is very important for people, because it determents if you have good neighbors or not. Some people don’t like the environment that they are in, because they argue with there neighbor, people should care about the place that they life they should also care about the environment, they should care if its cline or if it dangerous.

If you cep clean your enviontment then you will fed happy, because there are a lot of people that don’t kip it clean, and you will see stuff like garbich around your house and you will not like that, because its discus ting and it will smell bad. That could not be good that when you are going to invite people to your house fro dine, when they go they be thinking that they don’t keep their house clean and that they will never go agene.

If you dint get along with your neighbor, then they could treat you bad like, they could do party’s every single day, only to make noise so you dont sleep, so you could feed tager to go to work and that’s not good. Another thing that they could do to you is that they could throw garish in you place, so people think that you don’t clean your house and, around your house.

In conclusion I learn that you should look very good at the place that you will live, when you move, and to get along with every one around you, so you don’t have any problems later.
