雅思口语Part2范文：

The neighbour I find the most interesting is an old man called Mr. Liu. He has lived next door to my grandparents for as long as I can remember. He’s a wise, talkative and friendly old man with a lot of interesting stories and insightful pieces of advice. He has a big mop of white hair. He’s fairly tall, and always walks with a decorative wooden walking stick with a carved bone handle. Because the weather is really warm most of the year where I come from, I often see him sitting on the wall outside his home reading novels. I sometimes stop and chat to him and he discusses news, history, the stories he has been reading, or talks about his garden. He enjoys gardening and has a small garden at the back of his house. He is almost always seen with a wooden cage with two birds in it. He’s one of those older men you sometimes see in my city who take their birds in cages out ‘for a walk’ and talks to them and feeds them in the sunshine. I think he’s a fascinating man and I’ve got a lot of time for him. I think most people in our street feel the same about him. He’s also very helpful to the other neighbours and there was a time I remember quite clearly when an old lady up the road got sick – he made her soup and bread every day and took it round to her. So, he’s popular too and nobody has a bad word to say about Mr. Liu.

Part3部分：

1. Do you have a good relationship with your neighbours?

Yes, we have a good relationship with most of our neighbours. But, like a lot of people, I don’t think we really have much to do with their neighbours. In modern society today, people are quite estranged from the people who live near them. Everyone keeps a distance and doesn’t really associate with them much. It’ a shame really. This sense of community has largely been lost, especially in cities.

2. How can we improve our relationships with neighbours?

Generally I think it’s a good idea to have a relationship with the people who live near us, and try to keep it on friendly and amicable terms. This can be done by being a little generous, occasionally giving gifts, or sharing food and making a point of stopping to chat when you meet them going in and out of the house.

3. Do you think neighbours are important?

Yes, of course. Everyone needs to feel a sense of community – we are living in a social world, not isolated in bubbles! So, neighbours are a normal and important part of daily life. I think it’s a good idea to not be too close to neighbours though – maintain a good friendly relationship but not get so involved in each other’s lives or personal life.

4. Do you think people's relationships with their neighbours today is the same as it was in the past

No, I think people are way more distant from their neighbours than they were in the past. Today people tend to live in apartment blocks in cities, and usually they don’t want to have that much to do with all the other people living next door to them. Sometimes people are even suspicious of each other, to be honest. I think in smaller towns and places in the countryside there is more closeness between neighbours, but it seems that as societies develop and modernize there seems to be more distance between people and those that live around them. I’d say it was a sad, but natural consequence of development.
