Neighbours

You should try to have a good relationship with your neighbours, because you never know when you need their help.If they do something to make you sad or angry,it is better to discuss it in a friendly way than argue about it.For example, if your neighbours are playing loud music that you do not like, ask them politely to turn the music down instead of angrily saying you will call the police if they do not turn it off.

Trees and fences can also be a cause of disagreements between neighbours.My grandmother liked to sit out in the sun after lunch, but her neighbour had put up a high fence that made a shadow over her front yard in the early afternoon.She did not want to argue with him,because he had given her a lot of help since my grandfather died.

As last, my grandmother thought out a great idea.She invited her neighbour for dinner and shared her idea with him.He could make the fence lower enough to give her some sun without losing his privacy.In return, she would cut down the tree that reached to his garden and dropped leaves all over his yard in the autumn.

The neighbour agreed on the idea,and then they lived in peace.

文中畫線句“if your neighbours are playing loud music that you do not like...”是if 引導的條件狀語從句，其中“that you do not like”是定語從句修飾“music”，“ask them politely to turn the music down”是主句，“instead of angrily saying you will call the police if they do not turn it off”是狀語，而“you will call the police if they do not turn it off”是“say”的賓語，該賓語是賓語從句，從句中含有一個if引導的條件狀語從句。

俗話說：“遠水不解近渴，遠親不如近鄰。”假如你是Mike，住在光明社區，你們學校的校刊正在舉辦主題為“My neighbourhood”的英語征文活動，請根據下面的思維導圖，寫一篇文章投稿。

My neighbourhood

My name is Mike.I live in Sunshine Neighbourhood in the centre of the city.It is small but beautiful.You can enjoy the flowers on both sides of the path when walking on it.

My neighbours are all kind.They always give a helping hand to me when I am in trouble.For example, once I fell down from my bike because I rode too fast.One of my neighbours saw me.He quickly found out what happened and sent me to hospital.He often shares his printer with us.

There is a large square behind my flat.I always have fun playing badminton with my friends on weekends.

This is my neighbourhood.I am lucky to live in a neighbourhood full of love like this.

“光明社區”可以表達為：

Guangming Community。

關 于“ What is your neighbourhood like?”的內容不夠全面、具體。

第一個事例語言不夠精練；第二個事例描述不具體。

第三段中自己為小區所做的事情不夠豐富，未能體現社區人人互幫互助的氛圍和生活在光明小區發自內心的幸福感。

建議句與句、段與段之間增加連接詞或連接句，使語言更加有層次性和邏輯性。

My neighbourhood

My name is Mike.I live in Guangming Community in the centre of the city.It is small but beautiful.There is a big square,a small river and some tall buildings in it.I can enjoy different kinds of flowers in the four seasons.

My neighbours are kind and helpful.They always give a helping hand to me when I am in trouble.For example, once I fell off my bike and was hurt badly on my way to school.One of my neighbours saw what happened and sent me to hospital.Besides, when we students need to print papers at home, our neighbours are always willing to share their printers with us.

At weekends, I usually have fun playing badminton with my friends in the square,and sometimes I also help clean up the square and roads to keep our neighbourhood clean and tidy.

This is my neighbourhood.I am lucky to live in a neighbourhood full of love like this.
