Topic 50: Describe a neighbor you are interested in
You should say:
Who this person is
How you know this person
What this person likes to do
And explain why you think this neighbor is interesting.
Model Answer:
Mr. John is one of the neighbours whom I like very much. Since I live in an urban area, people
are close to each other and maintain a strong
neighbourhood relationship, unlike the
metropolitan areas.
In our neighborhood, we know almost each and every person living there, what they do, what
are their updates, what are their profession and their overall personality and characteristics as
well. Mr John’s house is adjacent to ours and I meet him almost every day. Mr John is a retired
army person who is now around 50 years old.
He lives in his house alone and I have never found his relatives visiting him except some old
colleagues. He stays inside his house most of the time and in
the evening he sits on the
veranda. He is a quiet man and likes to read a lot. I have seen him coming to live
in his house
almost 5-6 years ago. He bought the house from our previous neighbour.
I have had several conversations with him and I often play chess with him. I like to read as well
and our reading habit was the primary reason we started liking to accompany each other. I like
and admire this man very much. Though at first impression he seems to be an arrogant person,
in reality, he is an intelligent, calm, good-hearted and charming man.
I have heard lots of stories from him. He has travelled to many different places and has lots of
experience. Since I have become close to him, he recommends books to me which I mostly
enjoy reading. He advises me whenever I seek his guidance. He is sometimes a close friend,
sometimes a mentor and sometimes a guardian. I like him because of our unclaimed
friendship, his personality, honesty, morality and his great mind.
