Graffiti in city centres makes towns look ugly and damages property, which is bad for residents and tourists. While some graffiti is artistic, other pieces include rude words. To reduce graffiti, cities could designate legal graffiti walls so young people have an outlet for their creativity without vandalizing. Fining illegal graffiti artists and requiring clean-up would discourage the behavior. Schools raising awareness about keeping cities clean could also help improve the situation. With cooperation and following rules, graffiti issues could be addressed to make cities nicer places for all.

1. Graffiti in City Centres

2. City centres are full of graffiti, which makes the town look ugly,
butalso damages peoples’ properties.In addition, graffiti is bad
for the tourists who visit a place full of ugly painting.
Some graffiti is pretty,but some others are really bad. Moreover,
some graffiti include bad words and it’s very rude!!

3. If we try a bit we can change this situation. First of all, to reduce graffiti in our city we
can concede a place where graffiti will allowed. As a result, young people can develop
their creativity without making the city look ugly or making everywhere a mess, which
is fair for everyone. Also the police can give fines to people who paint graffiti in not-
allowed areas, becausea
sobvious, they damage peoples’ properties and it is illegal! In
addition, a good idea is to make people clean it up afterwards. This way, they will have
to think twice about all this hard work, which they will have to do and will have to
destroy soon afterwards. Finally, schools can organize graffiti awareness days, so
children and young people will understand how important it is to keep our city clean.

4. To sum up,if we follow the rules, things will
improve and we all will be happy!! Besides, it
is really important to keep cities clean!!

5. Thanks for watching!!
