My Ideal Place to Live
By John Hopkins
1 My ideal place to live is in a small town in
the countryside. My house isn't too small and it
isn't too big. Downstairs, there is large living
room with a huge, modern TV where the whole
family can relax. My bedroom is upstairs and it
has a great view of our beautiful garden.
21My ideal neighbourhood has got tree-lined
streets and parks, but it also has shops and a few
lively places like a cinema and a cool café to hang out
with my friends. There is a baker's nearby so we can
buy fresh bread every morning. The local people are
friendly and don't mind helping each other out.
31 This is my ideal place to live because it's a
pretty, cosy place and everything you need is
nearby!

Surveillance is a really important innovation in our times as it helps to closely observe a suspected spy or a criminal. Public cameras ensure public safety, Through surveillance cameras, the police can both prevent crimes from happening and can quickly solve criminal cases with material evidence. In addition, surveillance cameras protect against property theft, and vandalism. Well, surveillance also has it's disadvantages. It can cost a lot and cause problems with an individual's privacy. In addition, they can help and watch the crime or help police to arrive earlier, but they do not prevent it.
