Good neighbours
Amy: Hi, Simon. What are your neighbours like?
Simon: They’re kind and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They often meet at the community centre and share their different skills. They help us with all kinds of problems.
Amy: When do they meet?
Simon: Usually they have a “helping hands” meeting at the weekend.
Amy: Are they going to have a meeting this weekend?
Simon: Yes. There’s something wrong with my computer. I’m going to ask a computer engineer to check it. My cousin Annie’s bicycle is broken, so she’s going to ask someone to fix it.
Amy: Can you find anyone to help you with your homework?
Simon: Yes. Some college students are ready to help.
Amy: That’s really nice. Do the volunteers help the old people too?
Simon: Yes. Some of them often visit the old people and do some shopping for them. This weekend, they’ll help the old people clean their flats.
Amy: That’s great! You’re lucky to live in a neighbourhood like that, Simon.
