IELTS Speaking Part 1 : 'neighbours' topic

Here are some part 1 questions of a very common topic 'neighbours', with sample answers. How would you answer these questions?

1. How well do you know the people who live next door to you?

I know my neighbours quite well. They have been living there for last 20 years and are really nice people. I always stop to talk whenever I see them.

2. How often do you see them?

I see my neighbours at least a 3-4 times a week. We usually see each other when we're leaving for work in the morning or coming home in the evening and at times we meet in one of the neighbourhood parties.

3. What kinds of problem do people sometimes have with their neighbours?

I think the most common issue is probably noise. It's difficult to live next to people who have a dog that barks at night, or who play loud music.

4. How do you think neighbours can help each other?

I think there are many little favours neighbours can do to help each other. Neighbours can do small things to help each others like watching your house if you go on holiday or taking a delivery if something arrives by post when you're not at home.
