A modern community is a very convenient place to live in. In a community you can find all the things your need: food, clothes, household equipments, and you can also do all sorts of activities here, too. Have you ever noticed what kinds of facilities and establishments there are in your neighborhood? Now let’s go on a tour to explore places in your community, and look at what you can do in those places.
There are many places where you can get food and drinks. If you are just looking for some snacks and munchies, the fastest way is to go to a convenience store. In Taiwan convenience stores are everywhere, so they are really “convenient’! You can also go to a bakery to buy some bread and pastry for your afternoon tea. Another choice is of course, the street vendors that you can find at the street corners or night markets. You can always get delicious Taiwanese snacks with inexpensive prices at street vendors.
In your neighborhood there are also places where you can find other things you need. When you want to mail letters or Christmas gifts to your friends, you can go to the post office. When you want to save your money or get a loan, you can go to a bank. To get your clothes cleaned, you can go to a dry cleaner. A hair salon is the place to go when you want to get a hair cut. When you are sick, you can see a doctor in a hospital or get some medicine at a drugstore. In short, you can get everything in a community to support your needs and make your life comfortable.
Another major function of a community is to satisfy people’s needs of entertainments because we all want to have fun. You can go see a movie with friends on a Friday night, and have a drink afterwards at a pub, or dance away to the music at a nightclub. If you have a good voice, you can go singing at a KTV. If you’re an intellectual person, you can spend the Saturday afternoon at a bookstore reading, or visit the museums. If you want to enjoy the sunshine, you can take a walk in the park. No matter what you like, you can always find something to do for your leisure time in your community.
