Sau đây, BEC sẽ chia sẻ với các bạn một số bài mẫu về các dạng câu hỏi và cách trả lời về chủ đề "Neighbours" để các bạn không còn thấy khó khăn khi gặp phải chủ đề này nữa nha.
I/ Topic Card:
Describe one of your neighbours. You should say:
- Who he/she is
- What he/she looks like
- Whether you often see him/her
and whether he/she is a good neighbour.
Sample Answer:
I'd like to talk about my neighbour, professor Phan, who has lived next to us for about ten years.
He used to be my father's colleague and really looks like my father. He's not very tall, about 170 centimetres at most, I think. It is very easy to recognise professor Phan because he is bald on top and wear a pair of big glasses, which makes him look very professional and knowledgeable. He's very nice, friendly, and easy-going. When you have problems, he is a person you should turn to for he is intelligent and ready to help.
Now we don't see each other very often as I went to college in another city a few years ago. But I visit him whenever I go back to my home town.
Personally, I guess he is the best neighbour that one can have. He has influenced me a lot in learning English since my childhood. You know, in the 1980s when very few people had TV, he was given one by a foreign friend. Every Sunday morning, I would go to his house to watch a very popular English language teaching programme named Follow Me. Apart from that, he often encouraged me when I felt bad or did a bad job on an exam. I stll remember he told me that as long as I tried, it did not matter what result I got on the college entrance examinations. I wish I could become a professor like him in the future.
II/ Further questions:
1- What is the difference between friends and neighbours?
It's a little difficult to tell the difference between friends and neighbours. In my opinion, I usually tell my friends about my secrets and share my happiness and sorrow with them. However, I rarely do so with my neighbours. On the other hand, neighbours live close to us and may help us whenever we need them while a friend may live far away.
2- Do you think it's important to get along well with your neighnours?
Of course. We should get on well with our neighbours because we live in the community.
3- How can you keep a good relationship with your neighbours?
Well, it's not difficult. We just treat them as our friends. We should visit them from time to time, taking a bottle of wine or something with us. And I am sure that they will do the same in return. If we have made few dishes, why not ask them to our dinner? This would be a good way of keeping a good relationship. Besides, it would be a great idea for us and our neighbours to take a trip together. There's nothing better to know each other than exploring new places.
4- How do people communicate with others at present?
Great changes have taken place in the past several decades. For example, ten years ago, we liked to pay a visit to relatives and friends during the Tet holiday while now people prefer to exchange New Year greetings via e-mails, cards, or text messages. Another example is that in the past, Vietnamese people were interested in showing thier hospitality and friendliness by sending some home-cooked food to their neighbours, while now people prefer to eat out even when friends visit.
