Question 1: Do you know your neighbors?

Sample Answer: Well, I know some of them, yeah. The couple next door, the Smiths, are really nice – we chat over the fence sometimes about gardening and stuff. I’ve met the family across the street a few times, mostly at neighborhood gatherings. They have kids, so it’s usually pretty chaotic, but friendly. To be honest, I don’t really know the others that well; it’s a pretty big building, and people come and go. I see them around, of course, but we don't really interact much. I guess I'm more of an introverted person, so I don't always initiate conversations.

Question 2: How often do you see each other?

Sample Answer: Well, it depends on who you mean! With my closest friends, we try to see each other at least once a week, sometimes more if we can manage it. We usually grab coffee or go for a walk, things like that. With my family, it's a bit less frequent – probably every couple of weeks, though we’re all pretty busy. We usually have a family dinner then. And then with people I'm just casually acquainted with, it's much less often; maybe once a month or even less. It really just depends on how close we are.

Question 3: What kind of relationship do you have?

Sample Answer: Well, I'm really close to my family, especially my sister. We talk almost every day, even though she lives in a different city now. We're very supportive of each other, and she's the first person I go to with good news or if I need advice. I also have a really good group of friends from university – we've known each other for years and we still meet up regularly, even though we're all busy with work and other things. We do everything together, from going to concerts and trying new restaurants, to just hanging out at someone's apartment and watching movies. I don't have a significant other at the moment, but I'm happy with my relationships as they are. I think it's important to have a good balance of close family ties and strong friendships.

Question 4: How can neighbours be helpful?

Sample Answer: Well, neighbours can be helpful in so many ways! For example, if you're going away on holiday, a good neighbour might be able to keep an eye on your house, collect your mail, or even water your plants. They can also lend a hand with practical things – like if you need to borrow a ladder or a tool, or if you're struggling to move a heavy piece of furniture. And beyond that, it's just really nice to have someone nearby you can rely on for a quick chat or a favour, like picking up a parcel if you're busy. I think a strong sense of community, where neighbours help each other out, really makes a difference to your wellbeing and makes the area feel safer and more friendly too.

Question 5: What do you think of your neighbors?

Sample Answer: Oh, my neighbors are a mixed bag, really. I have some really lovely ones next door – the Smiths – they're an older couple, always friendly and waving hello. They even gave me some amazing rhubarb from their garden last summer. Then there's the family across the street, they're quite young with three kids, it's pretty noisy sometimes, especially in the evenings, but they're generally good people, just a bit… boisterous. And then there's… well, let's just say there's a bit of a mystery surrounding the people in the apartment above me. I hardly ever see them, and when I do, they're always rushing somewhere. I think they must lead pretty busy lives. So, overall, it's a pretty normal mix, I suppose. A bit of everything really.

Question 6: How do you get along well with your neighbors?

Sample Answer: Well, I'm pretty lucky, I think. We have a really friendly neighborhood. I make an effort to be respectful – keeping noise down, especially late at night, and being mindful of parking. I often say hello when I see them, and we sometimes chat briefly about things like the weather or gardening, if we're both outside. We've had a couple of neighborhood barbecues over the summer, which were really fun and a great way to get to know everyone better. It's not like we're best friends with everyone, but it’s a pleasant, easygoing atmosphere, and I really appreciate that. We’ve even helped each other out a few times – like when Mrs. Davies needed help with her groceries, or when Mr. Jones’s shed blew down in that storm last month. It’s a good community feeling, you know?

Question 7: Do you think it’s important to have a good relationship with neighbors?

Sample Answer: Yeah, definitely. I think it's really important, especially if you're living somewhere for a while. A friendly relationship with your neighbors can make a huge difference – it's great to have someone to borrow a cup of sugar from in a pinch, or even just to chat with when you're taking the bins out. It can also make you feel more secure knowing there are people around you who you can rely on, you know? Plus, a good neighbourhood vibe is just generally nicer to live in. Of course, you don't need to be best friends, but a polite and respectful relationship makes things so much easier. It avoids any potential problems or awkwardness down the line, and makes your living environment much more pleasant overall.

Question 8: Do you think neighbours are important?

Sample Answer: Definitely! I think good neighbours are incredibly important. It makes a huge difference to your quality of life, you know? Having friendly people nearby means you have a sense of community, someone to borrow a cup of sugar from in a pinch, or even just to chat with over the fence. Of course, not everyone gets along perfectly with their neighbours, and that's a shame, but ideally, they're a source of support and a feeling of security, especially if you live alone. Plus, it just makes the whole area feel more pleasant and safer, knowing people are looking out for each other.
