  In a city, some things are available for everybody's use. There are parks, electric scooters or means of public transport. Unfortunately, people often don't look after such things. They leave scooters carelessly after using them (which also can be dangerous for pedestrians), litter parks and sidewalks and damage bus stops. I think that they aren't careful with things like this because they don't think about them as theirs. They can always say: "It is not mine, it is not my problem". People simply don't care about things for which they didn't pay. Even if all those things are financed by taxes that they are paying they don't think about them in the same category as for example car that they bought. They will be careful not to dirty it but they will not be as careful in a bus. This behaviour doesn't really make sense. We all use things like buses and sidewalks so we all should care for them.

     I have been living in a house for the past ten years. For the whole last week, I lived in a flat. It made me realise how disturbing it was for me. I didn't know that I would feel such a difference. I was irritated by the sound of a lift, neighbour's stomping and even the light from a street. I was surprised at how much it annoyed me. I visited my friends in their flats and it didn't bother me. I think that it is because of the time I spent in both places. I stayed a maximum of one night at my friend's and a whole week at my parents' flat. People don't notice such things in a short period of time. Also, it is different when we know that we are leaving the next day rather than staying for another night. I also think that it annoyed me that much because I live on a quiet street with one neighbour. People have different habits so living in my house for a longer time could bother somebody else.
