Read the title of the song. Think of two things that make a neighbourhood a nice place to live in. Listen and read. Are any of your ideas mentioned in the song?
My Neighbourhood
My neighbourhood is peaceful
It's the perfect place to rest
It's easy to relax here
When you're feeling tired or stressed
My neighbourhood is pretty
It's the perfect place to stay
You're always very welcome
If you want to get away
I know you would be happy
In my little neighbourhood
I'd be so glad to see you
And the place would do you good
The people here are friendly
Everybody wears a smile
Why don't you pack a suitcase?
Come and visit for a while
My street is clean and quiet
And it isn't very wide
It's shady and it's leafy
With tall trees on either side
My house is warm and cosy
It's attractive and it's new
It's also very spacious
So there's lots of room for you
Neighbourhood — «район, окрестности». В качестве двух важных качеств выберем дружелюбных соседей и тихие чистые улицы. Сверяем с текстом: The people here are friendly («здесь дружелюбные люди»), My street is clean and quiet («моя улица чистая и тихая»). Оба предположения подтверждаются словами песни; аудиозапись для этого не нужна.
Friendly neighbours and clean, quiet streets make a neighbourhood a nice place to live in. Both ideas are mentioned in the song: the people are friendly, and the street is clean and quiet.
Перевод: Дружелюбные соседи и чистые тихие улицы делают район приятным для жизни. Оба качества названы в песне.
