Model Answer)
Most of my neighbors are very nice and sweet, so I’m quite close to them. However I don’t get to see them much these days because I’m busy with my school. First of all, my upstairs neighbor is a young couple with kids. They are kind and humorous and I like them, but their kids are sometimes very loud in the evening and that bothers me.
My next door neighbor is a college student whose name is Sue. We go to the same college, so we are very close. Since she is of my age, we have a lot in common. So, whenever I talk with her she gives me inspiration and we get along well.
Lastly, my downstairs neighbor is an old couple. They are generous and understanding, so they sometimes share delicious food with me or invite me over dinner. Whenever we run into in our town, we talk about this and that.
I think I’m very lucky to live with nice neighbors in my town because a good neighbor is better than a brother far off!
자, 답변을 잘 확인하셨나요?
답변의 시작은 ‘이웃들이 너무 좋고 친하지만 자주는 못 만난다’라고 이야기한 후 차례로 윗집, 옆집, 아랫집 이웃을 설명합니다. 그런 다음 마무리로 자신의 느낌이죠. ‘좋은 이웃이 먼 친척보다 낫다’라는 속담이 유용하게 답변의 마무리 멘트로 활용되었네요.
그렇다면 핵심 표현을 함께 살펴볼까요?
1) get to see them much 그들을 많이 보게 되다
2) bother 귀찮게 하다, 괴롭히다
3) of my age 내 또래인
4) A good neighbor is better than a brother far off 가까운 이웃이 먼 친척보다 낫다
