What are your neighbours and your street like on an ordinary day?

A natural way to answer

It's a fairly quiet street. Most of my neighbours keep to themselves, but everyone is friendly enough to say hello. There's a nice sense of community without anyone being too involved in each other's lives.

Key phrases to use

• stop for a chat — to pause to have a short, friendly, informal conversation“We stopped for a chat outside the shop.”
• keep an eye on — to watch or look after something or someone to keep it safe“Can you keep an eye on my bag for a second?”
