1. Do you think neighbors are important?
解析：这个话题是典型的part 3重要性类型的问题。常见的提问方法为 “Do you think …is important/necessary?” 基本上是在讨论话题的必要性和重要性，当然如果讨论思路，基本上考官问是否重要，多半都是回答重要的会比较好回答。相信很多考生都比较熟悉“远亲不如近邻”这个谚语，“A distant relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor”。邻居的重要性可以在很多地方体现，比较容易想到的是可以互相帮助，在生活上会方便很多，其实良好的邻里关系也可以促进和谐的人际关系，让你每天幸福感提升。毕竟，又如中国古话说，“抬头不见低头见”, “be bound to see much of each other”.
Tip：在part 3跟考官的进一步讨论中，我们经常可能会受到文化影响，引用一些中国的谚语等，这个时候都可以用 “As the old Chinese saying goes” 引出。
Sample
Of course, that’s for sure. Cause you know you are bound to see much of each other, when you go to work or when you get back home, or in the lift and so on. They can provide you with some immediate help. Just as the traditional Chinese saying goes, “A distant relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor”. Besides, a healthy, strong relationship can enhance your happiness of living in the community.
引申：
Do you think it’s are important to have a good relationship with one’s neighbors?
这题与上面的题目类似，甚至可以说重复，但是如果考官考察到了，我们可以选择上面以说道理为主，下面以举实例为主的方式，又或者采取两者结合，给出一个相对比较完整丰富的答案。
Sample
Yes, absolutely. For example, when you go for a work trip, and you can ask your neighbor to take care of your pet or to watch out your house for you occasionally. You know, crimes like burglars or robbery can be greatly reduced through a helpful neighbor. So it’s really practical to have a good relationship with your neighbors.
2. Do you think people’s relationships with their neighbors today is the same as it was in the past?
解析：part 3典型的对比类题目。讨论邻里关系变化。类似的题目还有
How do you think the neighbor relationship has changed in China in recent years?
Do you think it’s common in China to not know each other’s neighbors?
Sample
Maybe not. You know in the past, most Chinese people live in a big yard, they share some public facilities, send each other homemade food, visit each others’ home all the time, it’s like they are a big family. However, nowadays, most of the people live in apartments, and they shut the door after work. It’s common in China right now to not know your neighbors at all. They are already totally different.
3. Why do you think is that?/ What are the reasons behind that?
解析：讨论人际关系变淡的原因。除了上文中提到的客观原因，比如现在居住的环境变化，人们生活水平提高，不再共同享用公共设施以外，这里可以从人的角度去讨论，现在大家都很忙，压力很大，没有时间去跟邻居社交，另外现代人普遍对于陌生人会比较警惕，冷漠，缺乏信任。
Sample
Well, there are many factors for that. You know, modern people are all busy with their life and suffer from a lot of stress. So they don’t want to still suffer from the pressure of socializing after work. There is no doubt to say that modern people tend to be very indifferent towards others. They couldn’t trust others easily.
4. What are the benefits of belonging to a community?
解析：这个话题是有一定难度的。Belong to a community 这个概念很多中国考生并没有那么熟悉。其实我们就可以简单理解为，作为你自己生活小区的一员，有归属感，遇到问题，可以得到小区其他成员的帮助，并且大家可以通过共同的努力去完成一些事情。
Sample
There are plenty of them. For one thing, you can experience the sense of security. You, as part of the community, there is a whole group of people behind your back. If you come across some problems, they will help you like your friends and families. More importantly, belonging to a community can help you, with others together contribute to it, making a better community. You know, when you are actually living in a community, there are a lot of things couldn’t be done by one single person. If you are really part of it, you would really want it better.
