明月幾時有？把酒問青天。不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年？我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人間？
轉朱閣，低綺户，照無眠。不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。但願人長久，千里共嬋娟！

Describe an interesting neighbour - IELTS speaking part 2 and part 3






Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”

この音楽はきいたとこがありますか？これは日本の正月によく聞く音楽です。尺八（しゃくはち）と、琴（こと）という楽器を使って曲を弾いています。
今日は、日本の「正月」について話します。
”正月”とは、一年の中でも一番めでたい日で、一番特別な日です。１月１日から１月７日までを”正月”と呼びます。一年で一番日本らしいものが見ることができる日です。
たくさんの会社が１月１日から１月３日まで休みになります。
家族でゆっくり過ごす過程が多いです。正月は、汁物に”おもち”や”野菜”を入れた「雑煮」を食べます。入れる野菜やおもちにも意味があります。とてもおいしいです。みなさん、食べてみてください。
それから、正月になって初めて会う人には、特別な挨拶があります。
★「あけまして、おめでとうございます」★と言います。新しい年が始まりました。とてもめでたいです。「あけまして、おめでとうございます」を言います。
三井名さんも、2024年初めて会う人にはこの言葉を使ってください♪

One of the weirdest things about British culture is the way we enjoy our visits to cemeteries. Cemeteries, otherwise known as graveyards, are places where you can find British people relaxing with a cup of tea, perhaps, uh, a bottle of Coca-Cola or with a sandwich. It's a little bit strange. Now, I've lived in many countries across the world, and I have to say that only in Britain are we completely detached from the feelings associated with tombs, graves and dead people.
 If you go to a restaurant in the UK, particularly a cafe, you may even find that it was once a church.  There are churches around which close, and then they're sold to restaurant owners, or they become pubs, and you find yourself walking across these tombs without even thinking about it. To avoid any difficulties or problems with this. Some restaurants and pubs will lay carpets on the floor so that you won't actually see the names of those who've died.  Not to worry though, because these people who've died, usually they've died hundreds of years ago. It's not like they died last week. I'm not sure if that makes it worse or makes it better.
