Explanation:
am not too sure that I would be able to describe a person, be him a neighbour or some distant relatives, in an objective manner, mostly because we are “born” to be biased one way or another. However, since this cue card topic is asking me to do just that, I will go ahead and stick to the task as best as I can.
His name is “Lenin Gafur”. We became neighbours when he moved to my neighbourhood about a few years ago from another city for professional reason. Incidentally, I met him on the same day when he was moving his furniture and belonging to his new flat. He seemed like an easy-going fellow, who didn’t like to talk too much, even though he talked to me with a smile as long as the conversation had continued.
Lenin Gafur is about the same age as me, but he looks a bit too old for a 32 years old person. He wears looking glasses and likes to wear traditional dresses always. My neighbour is single and lives in a 2 bedroom flat which is about a couple of blocks from my own residence. He seems to be like a very busy person with his works as he returns to his residence pretty late almost every night, even though I manage to meet him every week at a commonplace of worship.
Being a “Senior Nurse” by profession, Lenin has a habit of asking all people, people he meets, about their detail health situation. I have even seen him providing necessary health tips to people around him whenever he gets an opportunity. I think that he is a good person for the most part except that he can get cranky if he hears any noise around his residence.
Answer:
I’m lucky, I’ve got good neighbours. I’m going to tell you about just one of them, when we met, how often we meet and why I think he is a good neighbour who I like very much.
I live in an old house which has been converted into about eleven different flats and bedsits. I live on the top floor, which is actually the modernised attic space of the original building, there is just one other flat in this roof area. To get to my flat, and that of my immediate next-door neighbour, you have to go up a back stairway that was probably originally the servants’ staircase, I think what is now my flat and that of my neighbour’s too, must have been at one time servants’ quarters. This means that our doorways are directly opposite one another, and we are the only people who use this entrance to the building.
I moved into the flat I live in about five or six years ago now. It is a rented flat. At that time the flat opposite me was empty, but a few weeks later I met a woman a little bit older than me who was busy cleaning just inside the flat, but with the door wide open. I paused to introduce myself and talk to her. She was really friendly, and I found out it was her son who was to be my new neighbour, she was just helping him to move in. A bit later he, Oliver, turned up too. He was new to the area, so I explained where all the local shops were, when the rubbish was taken out and various other little details about the practicalities of living in the property. A couple of days later he knocked on my door and called round for a chat. We found we got on really well. We have a very similar sense of humour, a shared (but slightly half-hearted) interest in running, and a mutual appreciation of good food – I could recommend the deli over the road to him as a source of lovely upmarket cheeses, olives and home-made lasagne and delicious pasta and pesto sauce too. We also both have an unfulfilled wanderlust, always plotting our next journey. He is off to Australia soon, lucky him!
