Why Is Graffiti Bad on Communities?
While some people may see graffiti as a form of art and self-expression, it is often
controversial because it involves the unauthorized use of someone's property. Graffiti is also bad
for communities because there are some negative effects on communities.
Firstly, the presence of graffiti in a community can decrease property values. When a community
has a high level of graffiti, it can be seen as being less safe, less desirable, and less well-
maintained, leading to a decrease in property values. People may be less willing to buy or rent
homes or business in an area with a lot of graffiti.
Secondly, graffiti can contribute to a deterioration of the community's aesthetic. Graffiti
is often seen as unsightly and can make an area look run-down and neglected. This can have a
negative impact on the way that people feel about their community, as it may discourage them
from investing in it or taking pride in it.
In addition, graffiti can lead to a perception of increased crime and disorder in a community. The
presence of graffiti can be associated with vandalism, gang activity, and other forms of criminal
behavior, leading people to perceive the area as less safe and more prone to criminal activity. This
can create a sense of unease and fear among residents and discourage them from spending time in
areas with a lot of graffiti.
From those reasons, it can be concluded that graffiti makes negative effects on communities. It
decreases property values. It also deteriorates the beauty of the community. Furthermore, it can
lead to a bad perception in a community. Not all graffiti is good to see. That's why graffiti is
considered bad on communities.

Barbecue in the park
Last Sunday, my friend and I went to the park because David’s family invited us a
barbecue party in the park.
We lived nearby so we just walked there.
When we got to the park, there were not many people. David’s family was already there.
They arrived there early to get the best picnic spot with an electronic barbecue grill
nearby. When we arrived, they were cleaning the barbecue. After making sure the
barbecue was clean, they turned the barbecue on by pushing the button. The electric stove
turned on and the metal plate became hot.
David’s mother put some cooking oil on the metal plate, and after that she put some
sausages, beef steaks, and some onions on the barbecue. Meanwhile, David’s father was
preparing the bread, butter and the drinks.
While waiting for the meat to cook, David and I joined other boys playing football. When
we got tired, we stopped and enjoyed the sausages, steaks, and some cold soft drinks.
The food was delicious. I think David’s mother is one of the best chef in the world.
