My Neighborhood
Bayar Nayaa and Daniel Agcaoili
I live in a great neighborhood. Having your own home and living there is everyone’s dream. I, like everyone else, had my personal dream since I moved here to buy a house. I had difficulties living in a new country and a new place. However, at that time, all the conditions were met, and we bought a house by a very lucky chance. I am very happy to live in my neighborhood, but I have several things that I agree and disagree with. Although, there are things that I disagree with, there are more things that I do agree on.
There are a lot of things I loved about my neighborhood. Namely, it is a very nice place in the countryside. You can see horses and cows just a few steps away, and deer are often seen too. Some people don’t need to buy eggs from a store. They raise chickens. Also, being close to so many animals, it is never too noisy. The air is cleaner than in the city and it only takes 20 minutes to reach the city center, which is not far. I really like that the people are friendly, nice, and quiet because our neighbors can always help each other by sharing their information about their area and live without harming each other.
There are some things I dislike about my neighborhood. At first, I was not sure if I could live in a new place. There weren’t sidewalks and streetlights, which made me feel scary walking with my daughter in the nighttime. If we need to shop for groceries, it will be at least 10 minutes on the highway, so it seems difficult sometimes. Couple months ago, it was lucky that a small shop opened just a five-minute walk from us. Also, new streetlights were installed, and it’s safe for my daughter and I to bike and walk, even in the nighttime on summer.
In conclusion, some issues that I disagreed with were resolved and I could live comfortably and safely in my neighborhood. We appreciate the fact that we live in the countryside close to the city, breathing fresh air and being close to animals. We are happy to live our neighborhood.
