I’d like to talk about Ms Li who is a close friend of my mother. We have been neighbours for many years. She practically watched me grow up. She is plump and good-looking with short hair and a round face .She has beautiful simple and she is always kind to people around. We often visit her. She is a warm-hearted person and is always ready to help others. She is an English teacher and sometimes I go to her house to ask her for help .I appreciate her because she is always patient to me and she always encourages me to continue studying English. Besides, she is a versatile person and good at dancing. She even organises a community dancing group. I think she’s sweet, kind and awesome lady. That’s why I wanted to talk about her.

PART 3
Discussion topics:
Neighbour
Do you know your neighbours? What sort of people are they?
Yes, I think they are warm-hearted people. When I moved in they helped me a lot. I remember they helped me carry my luggage .And they often send me some home-made food, which is very delicious. We often attend community activities together. I think they are very kind and outgoing.
可以说邻居待人热情、开朗友善等。应举例说明。
Tell the difference between neighbours and friends.
Hmm, I think there is not too much difference. Friend is a person who can share happiness and pain with you and you can tell him/her yours. Neighbours are people who you meet everyday. Neighbours are also people who accompany you everyday. They are warm-hearted and help you a lot. A friend might not be able to be there for you when you are in need, but they will always care you and bless you.
朋友是可以分享你的快乐和痛苦的人，邻里是你每天要遇见的人，他们都是我们生活中非常重要的部分。
What’s the difference of the character between city people and the countryside people?
In the countryside people are earthy and friendly. They live a simple life and help each other and share their lives with each other. While in big cities, people are busy with their work and they are more indifferent towards each other. Some even say that people in city are selfish and snobbish. Some people even don’t know names of their friends though they meet each other everyday. I think this is too sad. People should be more open-hearted and reach more people.
可以回答乡下人较为朴实，人们互相帮助，彼此分享他们的生活。 在大城市，邻里之间都比较冷漠，待人不够热情。
