Graffiti Language Features Analysis

Graffiti art on city wall

📖 Part 1: Reading the Text

Read the following text about graffiti carefully:

Graffiti is often called "the voice of the streets," painting the city's walls with colourful stories. Some say it is like a noisy shout for attention, while others see it as a secret language of art. This vibrant expression may brighten dull walls but can also cause trouble if done without permission. Many artists use bold lines and bright colours to say, "Look at me!" but property owners sometimes feel it is a form of vandalism. Despite the disagreements, graffiti reflects the city's lively spirit and voices the opinions of young people in a unique way.
