参考范文:
With the development of the society, people's living standard has been greatly improved. But
from
our
survey of the neighborhood
relationship,
we get a surprising result.
85 percent of the people surveyed have no idea of their neighbors'
hobbies. 80 percent fail to know their neighbors' names while 70 percent have never visited their neighbors. The reasons for the phenomenon are varied.
Firstly,people now are living so busy a life that they seldom have time to visit their neighbors. Secondly, living in high buildings provides people with an independent space, which
to
some
extent
decreases
the connection between neighbors. As a result, although people live in the neighborhood, they seem to be strangers.
As we know, good neighborhood can make everyone
feel
happy
and
live
in harmony. What's more, people in good neighborhood are more likely to help each other,which will benefit all the residents in the same community.
