3- listening 1

1. I just got a new neighbor in the apartment upstairs from me. I haven't met her yet. But I can hear her TV set every night because she turns the volume up really high. She should really be more considerate of her neighbors.

2. The house across the street from mine was sold last month, and a young family moved in. I think they'll really fit in well here. They've already invited all their neighbors to a cook out at their house next week. They seem like really nice people.

3. The man who lives next to me is moving. I can't say that I'm too upset about it. He's lived next to me for almost five years, but I don't think he's spoken to me more than three or four times. Sometimes I'll wave to him in the morning and he doesn't even wave back.

4. My neighbor Stacy is incredible. You wouldn't believe all the things she manages to get done. She works at a big law firm downtown and works really long hours. She also volunteers on the weekends. To top it off, her house is always spotless! I honestly don't know where she finds the time.

5. I'm really lucky to have Bob as a neighbor. He works in construction, and he's always nice about giving me a hand whenever I have work to do around the house. He doesn't really cook, so I try to fix him a home-cooked meal every now and then to thank him.

6. I bought this house last year and I love it. My next door neighbors are the only problem. They have two young boys who like to play baseball in my yard. Last month they accidentally broke my window. The boys apologized, but their parents didn't even offer to pay for the damages. Can you believe that?
