    So today, I am going to talk about neighborhoods.
    I think this is an interesting topic because neighborhoods look and function differently in different countries.
    Specifically, I want to talk about American neighborhoods.
    And even more specifically, I want to focus on residential neighborhoods, such as the suburbs.
    In the U.S., I would say that most people have the goal to eventually live in house in a residential neighborhood.
    Sure, some people prefer living in apartments in the city,
    But I still think that most people still want to buy a house someday when they have enough money.
    So, living in a house in a suburb is very common in the U.S.
    I spent my whole childhood living in residential areas in Southern California, so I have a lot of experience in these types of neighborhoods.
    So, what are some of the distinct elements of American neighborhoods?
    First of all, there is a pretty distinct American style of house.
    Of course, our houses often have triangular roofs.
    You’ve probably seen this in movies and tv shows.
    American houses also have a garage, a driveway, a front yard and a backyard.
    Houses in other countries might not have all these different elements, but in the U.S., these features are all really popular.
    What’s interesting for some foreigners is that in the U.S., houses often don’t have fences in their front yards.
    This means that when you’re in your front yard, you can easily see and interact with your neighbors.
    This might seem uncomfortable, but it does help neighbors be friendly with each other.
    However, in backyards, there are always fences or gates.
    This area is a little more private.
    Kids normally play in their backyard, front yard, or in the street if the neighborhood isn’t that busy.
    Typically, residential neighborhoods are pretty safe in the U.S., so kids can play outside without parents worrying too much.
    But, parents do need to keep an eye on their kids just to be safe.
    For kids, it’s really common to make friends with the other kids in the neighborhood.
    I remember when I was growing up that I always played with my neighbors.
    I actually became good friends with them.
    In other countries, it’s common to see children playing soccer in the street in different neighborhoods,
    But in the U.S., it’s more common to see kids playing other sports or games.
    Now, let’s talk a little bit about being a good neighbor.
    In the U.S., it’s really important to have respect for your neighbors.
    For example, it’s not acceptable to play really loud music or have loud parties at night.
    If you do this after 10pm, your neighbors will probably call the police.
    This is extremely common in the U.S., because police actually respond to these noise complaints.
    They show up at your house and tell you to be quiet, or you’ll be in trouble.
    Also, in many neighborhoods, you’re expected to maintain your house and front yard well.
    People don’t like it when their neighbor’s house or front yard looks ugly or neglected.
    This can actually make the neighboring houses less valuable.
    On the other hand, one of the great things about residential neighborhoods in the U.S. is the sense of community.
    Traditionally, people are friendly and helpful in these types of areas.
    For example, if you move to a suburb, it’s very common for your neighbors to bring you over some homemade food and welcome you to the neighborhood.
    Also, people help each other out in these neighborhoods.
    For instance, if you go on vacation, it’s common to ask your neighbors to keep an aye on your house and even water your plants or things like that.
    The sense of community is definitely a big positive of living in residential neighborhoods in the U.S.

    In my country, there are many houses that resemble the American houses. but in general. the Arab houses have some distinctive and different features especially when we talk about the past. for example, a large doors and windows in the form of arches , a large room in the center of the house which is square or rectangular shap, with a pool of water surrounded by plants or trees, and the roof of the house is open, so you can sit in your house and look at the sky at the same time. On the other hand, the Arab people are very generous and helpful and consider that it their duty to provide assistance if someone requests it.

    1. The typical American roof is triangular.
    2. American houses have fences in the back yard, they don't have fences in the front yard.
    3. In the U.S., neighbours will call the polices, so polices show up at my house and tell me to be quiet if I make a lot of noise at night or I'll be in trouble.
