My neighbors are a couple who’re really annoying. They just got married when they moved next door. To be honest, they looked like really nice people at first sight, but as time went by, they just started to get on my nerves.
For starters, they keep a noisy dog that wouldn’t stop barking, from early in the morning to midnight, especially when I am studying, I feel like killing the dog sometimes because of the unbearable sound. Plus, for some reason, they always argue with each other over meaningless trifles like whose turn it is to do the dishes or stuff like that. Our walls are not soundproof at all, so I can hear them clearly. And the worst part is, they are both party animals. Every weekend, they would invite their friends over, sometimes watching movies, and sometimes singing karaoke. And when they get drunk, they would yell really loudly. Just the thought of it makes me dizzy right now.
I remember one night, I was preparing for my final exam. But my neighbor invited a bunch of people to have a huge party with loud music and all. And I could hear them play the X-box. All of that made it impossible for me to focus on my study. I just couldn’t put up with them, so I stormed out, and knocked on their door, but for a long time no one answered it. I shouted, please keep it down, I was trying to study, but they didn’t seem to care at all and went on doing whatever they were doing. I was furious!
I couldn’t stand it anymore, but there was nothing I could do about it, so I just called the police to handle this mess.
Well, recently, my downstairs neighbor is renovating his house, and the hammering, the drilling and everything is really killing me.
We’ve been neighbors for about 5 years, and he’s never the kind of person who cares about other’s feelings. To be honest, he’s the most self-centered person I’ve ever met. Usually, when people are decorating their house, they would choose the period when others are not trying to have a rest, you know, so the construction should be during the daytime. And I think people would avoid the weekends because that’s when basically everybody would sleep in or stay at home relaxing. But my neighbor, he would do it whenever he wants, early in the morning or late at night.
The other day I suddenly was woken up by an outrageously loud noise. I took a look at my phone; it was 3 o’clock in the morning! I was like, what the…(hell)! I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I stormed out in my pajamas. I knocked on his door, and it took him several minutes to get it. When he opened the door, before I could say anything, he just gave me this irritated look, as if I was the one who annoyed and disturbed him! I tried to sound as politely as I could, “Could you keep it down, please? Everybody is sleeping at this hour.” Well, you couldn’t believe what his response was, and it really made me hit the roof. He said, “This is my house, and I can do whatever I want when I feel like it. It’s none of your business.” And he just slammed the door in my face. Honestly I was shocked, I guess there’s nothing I could do except calling the police, so that’s what I did.
既然是给考官讲故事嘛,所以dramatic一点儿也没关系,最好把考官讲的特同情你,或者正好他也有个类似的邻居,一下子有了感情共鸣,不想得高分也难呢!
