Many experts say it started in New York City in the 1960s. Young people would spray (喷) their names on walls and trains around the city. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). Later, graffiti became a movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Some artists traveled around the city, making paintings for everyone to see. What they enjoy most is the freedom of expressing themselves which street art permits (允许). Street art today takes many forms. In Houston, you can see a very different kind of street art. This group of artists is made up of people who like to knit (编织). They place their knitted projects on doors, street signs, and cars around the town. On many street corners in Paris, you can see the work of an artist known as Space Invader. Space Invader was the name of a video game that was very popular in the 1980s. This French artist uses small colorful pieces of glass to make space creatures (太空生物). Although some people think street art destroys the environment, it is becoming more and more popular.

Almost everyone agrees that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. However, the standard of good neighbours is different from people to people. In my opinion, a good neighbour should be someone who respects your life, is ready to help others and concerned about the environment in the neighbourhood. First of all, it is very important for your neighbour to respect you life. Just imagine, if you have a neighbour curious (好奇的) about you, especially your personal life, and tries to know more about it by whatever means, what will you feel? What is more, he or she may also talk with others about your life. Do you want to live with him or her anymore? The answer is definitely negative. You will feel very uncomfortable to have such kind of people in your neighbourbood and you may move as soon as possible. Next, what you should consider is that a good neighbour is always willing to give you a hand when you need him or her. For example, if you are not at home and someone suspect (可疑的) tries to unlock your door, your neighbour who sees it should call 911, and it will help you to protect your property (财产). (责任编辑：admin) |
