It was late and the streets were empty as I was going back home after work last Friday evening. Suddenly I heard some noise behind me. I turned around and almost screamed with fright. Right behind me there was a tall man in a dirty jacket, and he had a knife in his hand. A huge and terrible. It was like out of the blue. Threatening me with his knife the mugger told me to give him my money, my phone and my watch. I screamed like crazy and called for help. The police jumped out from behind a corner and grabbed the criminal. They drew up a protocol of the attack. When we came to the police office, there were still a few people who were waited for the criminal who mugged them too. They identified him and police could start a criminal case. I came back home very late and was tired and angry.
Было поздно, и улицы были пусты, как я возвращался домой после работы в пятницу вечером. Вдруг я услышал какой-то шум позади меня. Я обернулся и чуть не закричал от испуга. Прямо за моей спиной стоял высокий мужчина в грязной куртке и он имел нож в руках. Огромный и страшный. Это было как гром среди ясного неба. Угрожая мне ножом преступник сказал, чтобы я отдал ему деньги, телефон и часы. Я закричал и стал звать на Полицейские выскочили из-за угла и захватили преступника. Они составили протокол нападения. Когда мы пришли в полицейский участок, там были еще несколько человек, которые ждали преступника, ограбившего их тоже. Они опознали его и полицейские смогли завести уголовное дело. Домой я вернулся очень поздно и был уставший и злой.
Advantages and disadvantages of living in the city centre
The life in the city center has its own advantages and disadvantages.
I consider that the main advantage is the transport accessibility. It is easy to get to any place throughout the city. You don’t depend on traffic jams and you can reach your office or school quickly. The main places of interest of your city are nearby of your place. So you can visit a museum or a theater whenever you want.
But the are some disadvantages as well. Ecological situation is poor in the city center because there are too many vehicles and too few trees there and the main parks are situated in the outskirts of the city. The infrastructure is not well-developed in the city center as well. You have to walk for a long time to get to your local clinic or your post office or your bank office and so on. The department stores are quite expensive in the city center. There are plenty of chain stores and farmers’ markets in the city but most of them are located in the outskirts of the city and the people living in the city center have to buy food far from their place of living.
As for me, I’d prefer to live in the city center because I like to walk there and watch the old buildings and I can spend hours just walking through the historical center of the city.
