| Good Neighbours. TestGood Neighbours. TestGood Neighbors The neighborhood ‘Watch’ scheme all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries in the village and the surrounding area. The residents of the village camp up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbors’ property while they were away on holiday. Since then, and with the support of the government and police, more than 50 000 ‘Neighborhood Watch’ schemes have been set up all over the country. The object of each ‘Watch’ group is to reduce the opportunities that
criminals have in any particular street or area. Each resident who is a
member of the scheme agrees to call the police whenever they see discreetly When a new Neighborhood Watch scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice is the large, brightly coloured ‘Neighborhood Watch’ sign. This is a great deterrent to most burglars and vandals, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone’s house if they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbors keeping a look- out. Burglars also know that people who are part of ‘Neighborhood Watch’ schemes are more likely to have fitted good locks to their doors and windows. There’s another benefit too.

Find a word or phrase in the text, which means: _________ _________ _________ _________ Хорошие Соседи Схема «Присматривающего соседства» началась несколько лет назад в тихой деревне Молингтон, после множества краж в деревне и ближайших областей. Жители деревни переигрывают идеи о том, что сами они могли следить за собственностью их соседей, в то время как они были вдалеке или в отпуске. С тех пор, с поддержкой правительства и полиции, больше чем 50 000 схем «Присматривающего Соседства» было настроено по всей стране. Цель каждой группы «Присматривающих» состоит в том, чтобы уменьшить
возможности, которые преступники имеют на любой частной улице или области. Это – хорошее средство для устрашения большинства грабителей и вандалов, потому что очень немногие из них рискуют вторгаться в чей - то дом, если они знают, что есть высокий риск быть замеченным соседями, держащими наблюдение.
