Chapter 2 One’s Residence
Unit 2: The Neighborhood
Question: Describe the things that surround your neighborhood. Tell
whether your place is a busy area or a quiet one.
Answer 1:
I live in the suburbs. There are only a few buildings and houses in the area. I could see bigger
houses where my neighbors live. Only a few cars, trucks and buses pass by the road. Houses
have plants and some trees around them. I could see pretty flowers, too. Young children have more
space where they could bike or play. My friends and I love taking a walk going to the small parks.
Points to emphasize in answering:
Mention the type of neighborhood you have
Example: a community in the city, a place in the countryside, somewhere in
the suburb
Cite structures that could be seen in that area
Example: There are only a few buildings and houses.
Describe the environment and the people
Example: I could see bigger houses where my neighbors live. Only a few cars,
trucks and buses pass by the road.
