Сочинение про гетто: 
America - almost safe country if not to get into so-called ghettoes. In bad areas very much don't love strangers. Today I will tell you about two classical Black ghettoes. They are very similar, though are in different parts of the country, on two different coasts: Youzhny Tsentral sung in the well-known movie that in the Californian Los Angeles, and anonymous, but much more terrible ghetto of the city of Philadelphia.Than ghettoes will cause a stir from usual areas? It is always noticeable visually, and in certain cases not late to be developed and be cleaned most of an unfriendly place. The first is a terrible dirt on streets. Not simply separately lying leaflet or a stub, and concept "is shitted". On another I can't be also expressed. Usually on the American streets it is very pure and tidy. The second - abundance of graffiti. Where draw in all walls, hesitating of nobody, usually seldom there is a police. The third - strange cars. On big wheels, tinted, or simply rusty, dirty and very old. And the fourth, the most important. Fences round houses and a lattice at windows. Here often plunder, here is unsafe to sit on a terrace, can shoot from the passing car, just like that. Usually in normal areas isn't present lattices, especially massive fences. Clothes style local too special, and very recognizable. A cap and a man purse it is obligatory. Sometimes trousers "I obkakatsya", sometimes - classical абибас with three strips. Yes, niger too love them. Obitetateli ghettoes like to be engaged in anything. For someone it is a protest: we were so many years slaves, now figushka we will begin to work. The word "work" single-root with such hated to us the word "slave". Men, statistically, on average live here till 28 years. On the area dashing guys on cross motorcycles dissect. They like to break bags from passersby or it is simple to frighten all by a roar of the bikes.
Перевод:
Америка - почти безопасная страна, если не забредать в так называемые гетто. В плохих районах очень не любят чужаков. Сегодня я расскажу вам о двух классических негритянских гетто. Они очень похожи, хотя и находятся в разных частях страны, на двух разных побережьях: воспетый в знаменитом фильме Южный Централ, что в калифорнийском Лос-Анджелесе, и безымянное, но куда более страшное гетто города Филадельфия.Чем же гетто отличется от обычных районов? Это всегда заметно визуально, и в некоторых случаях ещё не поздно развернуться и убраться самому из недружелюбного места. Первое - это жуткая грязь на улицах. Не просто отдельно лежащая листовка или окурок, а понятие "насрано". По другому и выразиться не могу. Обычно на американских улицах очень чисто и опрятно. Второе - обилие графити. Там, где рисуют во все стены, никого не стесняясь, обычно редко появляется полиция. Третье - странные машины. На больших колёсах, тонированные, или просто ржавые, грязные и очень старые. И четвёртое, самое важное. Заборы вокруг домов и решётки на окнах. Здесь часто грабят, здесь небезопасно сидеть на террасе, могут застрелить из проезжающей машины, просто так. Обычно в нормальных районах нет ни решёток, ни тем более массивных заборов. Стиль одежды местных тоже особый, и весьма узнаваемый. Кепка и барсетка - это обязательно. Иногда штаны "я обкакался", иногда - классический абибас с тремя полосками. Да, нигеры тоже их любят. Обитетатели гетто любят заниматься ничем. Для кого-то это протест: мы столько лет были рабами, теперь уж фигушки мы работать станем. Слово "работать" однокоренное с таким ненавистным нам словом "раб". Мужчины, согласно статистике, в среднем живут здесь до 28 лет. По району рассекают лихие парни на кроссовых мотоциклах. Они любят срывать сумки с прохожих или просто пугать всех рёвом своих байков.
