I live in a big street. It is about a furlong in length, it is very spacious. It is paved and cemented. It is daily washed by the sweepers engaged by the Municipality. Dustbins and receptacles are placed at several places. All rubbish is thrown into them. The street in which I live is in the heart of the city it is a very long street. There are houses on both sides of the street. The street is narrow It is ten feet wide. The building is very high, So the sun does not reach any place at all. The houses are not airy. There is only one drain in the street It is never cleaned or washed.
The street is not paved On rainy days there is mud everywhere Most of the people in our street are uneducated. They throw dirt in the street Women quarrel all the day Children make a noise all the time. But The residents are accommodating and co-operative. They share one another’s joys and sorrows. Life in the street is peaceful. There’s the security of life and property. There are no bad characters. At night two watchmen keep guard over the street. There are no cases of theft. In a word, it is an ideal street.
