P.92 1A. 1. Do you know your neighbours? How well do you know them?
Most recently, I moved to another apartment and, of course, I have new neighbors. A friendly family
lives in front of our door, which I really like. On the left, we still have neighbors but they are not so
friendly. Our soundproofing is not that good and the noise and quarrels from them are a bit annoying
2. Do you have a good relationship with them? Why?
We have good relations with neighbors but not as good as with neighbors who live in another house
where we used to live. I have a friend who lives there on the 3rd floor and we have been friends with

Деяким людям просто щастить. Там були околиці друзів у США, які виявилися давно втраченим
братом і сестра. Був чоловік, у якого загорівся будинок і якого врятував сусід, який заліз на стіну,
заліз через вікно і відбивати дим, щоб дістатися до потерпілого. І там це всі ті розповіді про людей,
які рятують сусідського кота. Боротися позбутися грабіжників або зробити покупки для своїх літніх
сусідів. Але поганих сусідів теж багато: людей, які відмовляються ремонтуйте зламані паркани,
нехай їхній сигаретний дим пливе на вашу кухню, або постукайте у ваші двері, щоб сказати, що
надворі припаркована дивна машина (ймовірно, вашого гостя) або щоб нагадати вам косити газон.
У життєвій лотереї ви можете лише сподіватися, що ви залучите хороших хлопців наступні двері.
Ось кілька ваших історій: хороші, погані та у вас були дивні сусіди.

How old is Marie's neighbor and what does he collect?
Мій сусід наповнює свій двір фігурками. У нього так багато, що вони покривають трава. Йому за
п’ятдесят, тому я вважаю це дуже дивним, але він завжди веселий і щасливі, тому у нас немає
претензій. Мері Перлмуттер

What did Max expect from his neighbors?
Я очікував проблеми з сусідом, тому що у мене є дерево з гілками, що висять над їхнім парканом.
Одного разу вони постукали в двері і дали мені величезну яблучний пиріг, який вони спекли. Тоді
вони сказали: «Це зроблено з вашого яблучного дерева»! Сподіваємося, вам сподобається».
Відтоді ми дружимо. MaxZ4
У мого сусіда в саду є парова машина. Я думаю, що він був істориком або щось таке. Він тримає
його в чудовому стані і дає пограти місцевим дітям на цьому. RGH

What was Paulina's problem and how did she solve it with her mother?
Мої сусіди зверху вішають білизну з вікон своєї квартири. Одяг капає на наше прання, тому що ми
живемо під ним. Так одного дня мама зійшла і запропонувала нам митися по понеділках і По
четвергах, а вона робить своє по середах і суботах. Ми спробували і це працював чудово! Пауліна

What did the neighbors offer Vince?
Мої сусіди знизу влаштовують багато вечірок на вихідних. Я напівглухий, але навіть я чую шум.
Одного разу я поскаржився, і мене запросили. Я відмовився. Мені вісімдесят три. У моєму віці я не
вмію танцювати, як раніше. Вінс
