Introduce the community where you live with as much factual information as possible, using vague language where appropriate.
Sample:
Living conditions
I live in a community where there are trees all year round. Each family has it’s own private space and you can’t enter without permission. The kitchen and toilet are cleaner than those in the past. Nowadays people take a shower and go to the toilet in the same place called “bathroom”.
Relationships with neighbours
We say hi to our neighbours when returning home and going out. Other than that, we barely have a chance to see them. However, there are a lot of community activities for neighbours to bond together.
