示例范文：Describe an interesting neighbour of yours

　　1. Do you think people's relationships with their neighbours today are the same as they were in the past? 你认为现在的邻里关系和过去一样吗?

　　Well, I think it depends on people's values and lifestyles. Those of us who value relations with people who live nearby haven't changed anything in communication with our neighbours. We spend some evenings and days-off together having backyard BBQ parties in summer or throwing house parties in late autumn and winter in just the same way it was a decade and more ago. We keep an eye on each other's houses or flats when one of the families is away. We give each other a helping hand and support each other in hard times in exactly the same way we did it in the past. But those of us who are working a lot these days and don't want to spend free time with neighbours have changed neighbour relations opting for strengthening family bonds or just devoting time to ourselves.

　　2. Do you think it's important to have a good relationship with one's neighbours? 你认为有一个良好的邻里关系重要吗?

　　Of course, it is. We are social creatures and it's important for us to have communication and positive relationship with people around, and especially with the ones who live next door. What is more, neighbours are people we can always rely on in case of emergency. They are close to us and will always find ways to help us out in a difficult situation. The better our relations with neighbours are, the more help and support we will get from them. Neighbours we have friendly relations with will always give a helping hand when we are away collecting our mail, watering flowers, feeding pets and just keeping an eye on our accommodation, which will let us be calm and enjoy our trip or vacation. We can also ask our neighbours to look after our kids if we need to work late or just want to visit some party. So, it’s really important to have a friendly relationship with people living nearby.

　　3. How can people improve relationships with their neighbours? 人们如何促进邻里关系?

　　Well, first of all, by introducing themselves to neighbours. If people are new in the house or in the area, they should get acquainted with neighbours and then smile and say hello to them whenever they meet them. They should try to be nice to neighbours initiating a relationship with them by striking up interesting conversations or inviting them for a meal. It's also a good idea to offer neighbours a help with something, for example, with shopping when the; or with taking care of their kids wh. they are at work. One more thing which can help strengthen neighbour relations, to my mind, is celebrating special moments together.

　　4. What factors help neighbours to have good relations with each other? 一个良好的邻里关系需要哪些因素?

　　Oh, the same factors which help all people to build strong healthy relations, I think. The most important factor, to my mind, is liking and respecting each other. Because it's impossible to build good relations with people you dislike or disrespect. I also guess it's important to trust each other and have a shared philosophy of life including values and priorities. I would also add that it's great if people do things which make each other happy as well as enjoy and v time together. Oh, and, of course, commitment to work through conflicts and disagreements in a respectful manner.

　　5. What makes a neighbourhood a good one to live in? 是什么使得邻居好相处?

　　Well, I think the quality of neighbourhood, first of all, I mean its physical beauty, the number of trees and flowers, the design of buildings, in other words, its aesthetic character. One more important factor is a variety of functional attributes that contribute to a resident's day-to-day living, for example, great schools and kindergartens, outdoor activities abound, access to medical care, proximity to public transport and, of course, nearby shopping and restaurants. Oh, and the top priority the safety factor good street lighting and a low crime rate. Yeah, that's what differs a good neighbourhood from an ordinary one.
