Alberto's new neighbours

Let's read!

Your neighbours are...

1. people who do the same job as you
2. your aunt, uncle, cousins
3. people who live near you

When you move to a different house, you often get new neighbours. Imagine ''perfect'' neighbours... How would you describe them?

If you put up with something, you...

1. don't like it, but accept it
2. start doing it
3. let someone stay at your house

And how would you describe ''neigbours from hell''?

Describe the definition of:
''to get rid of''

''to give someone a dirty look''

1. 
2. 
3. 

Describe the definition of the word
''staff''

Now read the introduction of the text

Alberto took one look at his new neighbours and knew that his life was going to get more difficult. He watched them arrive in their big, noisy car and watched them get out. There they were, two of them, as big and as noisy as their car – and smelly and stupid as well.

'Terrible!' he thought. 'How am I going to put up with them?' He went to tell Mimi. Mimi was the friend he lived with.

'Have you seen the new neighbours?' he asked her.

'No,' she said. 'Who are they?'

'Two of them. The ones we don’t like. Big and noisy and stupid and smelly. Just like they always are.' 'Oh no,' said Mimi. 'How awful! Still, we can just try to ignore them.' 'I hope you're right,' agreed Alberto. 'We'll just have to ignore them.'
