Describe an interesting neighbour of yours.
You should say:

If you ask me to describe a neighbor who fascinates me the most, I won't think twice about
talking about Mr. Tam, who is really open-minded and caring.
I got the chance to get to know him at our housewarming party. Although he is older than me, we
have hit it off since we first met, which is quite unusual for an introvert like me. His house is a
stone's throw from mine; therefore, I usually come over to play with his family whenever I am at
a loose end.
Since Tam is the founder of his company, he is busy as a bee during the weekdays. However, he
enjoys having outdoor activities on weekends, especially with children, such as going camping,
fishing, mountain climbing, etc. He is also a football fanatic; therefore, I got to watch lots of live
football matches between famous teams.
The reason why he captivates me a lot is that despite being the CEO, he still manages to teach
children at the orphanage twice a week. I used to listen to him talk a blue streak about his passion
for sharing knowledge and taking care of younger people, although this means that he has to
trade off his precious time. In addition, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth; however,
he has made his own money since he was 18 years old. He had a start-up selling milk tea at that
time because of his love for that drink, and he has developed it into many branches all over my
country!
Although I cannot live close to him due to my hectic schedule, we are still on good terms with
each other. Hopefully, I can still talk and share with him in many more years.

Content I know that that is a very grand goal, and few who aim for it ever achieve it, but

me and how I approach life. Maybe I will not actually make it to the level of
athletic perfection required to compete at the caliber of the Olympic games but I
am no less motivated to try. The Olympics are almost the definition of peak
athletic skill. The summer and winter Olympics happen every four years, offset
so that one or the other happens every second year, and the location changes
during each games so that they move around the world. The reason I am
so dedicated to taking part in it is the fact that it is for all people of the world to
compete with each other side by side, in the spirit of a world community
competing for the betterment of all of ourselves.

Context What I do to help me concentrate when I am working or studying is to put on
music.
Content Generally I put on a genre called lofi. It is not fast paced but it follows
consistent rhythms and it is easy to get into the groove of things while listening to.
My house is very rarely quiet, so I almost always end up using my noise canceling
headphones so that I don’t get distracted by what other people in my house are
doing. I don’t know if this would be as beneficial for everyone, but it is for me. I
have been doing it this way for about 3 years now and it has gotten to the point that
I find it difficult to pay attention and write without it. The only issue is that I often
get carried away, when the music is good and the thoughts are flowing freely,
sometimes I don’t realize the time until it is very late at night, in fact, there have
even been occasions where I lost track of time and only realized how far past my
bed time that I had gone when the sun started shining through my window.

I would like to share with you something that I am keen on doing in my leisure time to stay
healthy, which is jogging.
I took up this habit about 2 years ago. At that time, I was up to my ears with study to prepare for
my graduation examination so I was a little bit stressed out. Then I thought that I needed to do
something energetic to release some stress, so I decided to have a crack at jogging.
At first, doing this was quite challenging for me because I led a sedentary lifestyle. I just sat in
front of my computer every day to complete my assignments. But after a few days of suffering
from muscle aches, I got used to jogging and kept doing it in the evenings.
Well, I have to say that this sport has helped me a lot in strengthening my physical health as well
as my mental health. Thanks to jogging, I was able to lose my fat belly and get lean. Now, to be
honest, I’m quite satisfied with my youthful appearance and trying to maintain it. Also, jogging
allows me to unwind and enjoy fresh air, and whenever I go jogging I feel like my mind is being
refreshed.
In the future, I am going to keep doing this to stay healthy and maybe I will try some other sports
too. That’s all!
