A community can be defined (定义) as a group of people who live, work and play in the same area. They share certain things. They help each other.
Communities can be described in many ways. One way to describe a community is by its geography. For example, it can be rural, suburban or urban.
Rural communities are sometimes called the “countryside”. They are away from towns and cities. They have small populations. There are not a lot of buildings. There is lots of land, so people have farms. Schools, hospitals, grocery stores, and more may be far away. Sometimes rural communities don’t have much technology. Some rural areas are very poor.
Suburban communities are in between rural and urban areas. They are called the suburbs. People move there because there is more space in the suburbs than in the cities. They are quieter than cities. Suburbs have more buildings than countryside. It is easier to get to schools or stores.
Urban communities are usually cites with a very large number of people. Cities like New York are crowded with people, buildings and traffic. The large population causes lots of problems, but also brings lots of arts and culture.
Communities happen when people come together for some reason. People may unite because of their location or their shared interests. Communities help people feel at home. They give people a sense of belonging(归属感).
