I have been troubled by such a bad scene for a long time.Can I make my neighbor manage her back garden?A：Firstly, you will need to contact a pest control company to deal with the rat problem, which could be a danger to you and your family. The pest control company will produce a report detailing the issue and give an opinion as to whether your neighbor's overgrown garden has caused the rats to run in all directions.If that is the case, then you should get in contact with your neighbor in an attempt to resolve the issue. You should discuss your concerns with all your heart with your neighbor and advise her of the situation and of the findings of the pest control company.You do not advise whether the house is rented out or perhaps your neighbor is elderly without the ability to deal with the problem personally. If your neighbor is uncooperative, then I would advise you undertake the following action.Get in contact with your local authority or the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government and report your concerns, particularly the pest issue immediately.You could also contact the HSE, more especially if children use the garden and are likely to come in contact with rat droppings etc, which can be dangerous to them. If the above is not successful, you should inform your lawyer and take advice. You should also document your conversations with your neighbor.If your house is for sale, ask your agent to prepare a report outlining the effect of the next door garden on value, but also outlining the effect on marketability and the negative impact on viewings.Notes：①uncooperative adj.不愿合作的，不愿配合的②authority n．权力，职权，官方，当局③marketability n．可销售性（1）Which of the following is the BEST title for the passage?A.

Being visited by the unexpected guests.D. His shed being blocked seriously.（3）What does the pest control company perform?A. They help tidy up the neighbor's back garden.B. They only produce a report about rats.C. They perform a duty to deal with rats.D. They provide evidence as to pests for anyone.（4）If the guess is TRUE, the asker________．A. should have an argument with his neighborB. should kill off the mice at firstC. should move away to a new placeD. should have a talk with her calmly（5）To document the conversations means________．A. to warn his neighbor immediatelyB. to bring evidence before a courtC. to make fun of the lazy neighborD. to prove the house of very little value四、翻译（完成句子）（1）那本书他已借了一个星期了。
MODULE 4 A Social Survey—My Neighbourhood Showing position and direction(问路，指路)【简要介绍】1. 在向别人问路之前，一样应先说句Excuse me，如此一方面可引发对方注意，另一方面又显得比较客气。
Excuse me，译成汉语不必然老是“对不起”，现在也可译为“劳驾”，“请问”等。
假设对方讲的话你没听清，你能够说I beg your pardon? (用升调，意为：对不起，我没听清) 或Would you please say it again? I’m afraid I didn’t quite catch you.(请再说一遍好吗? 我恐怕没有完全听清。
)问完路以后，应向指路人表示感激。
2.“向左(右)拐”英语有两种常见的说法：turn left(right) 或turn to the left(right)。
表示“在左(右)边”，英语用介词on 或at 都可。
如Turn left and walk on，and soon you’ll see a tall building o n [at] the left. (向左拐，然后继续走，不久你就会看到左侧有一座高楼)。
另外，依照我国的交通规那么是“行人靠右”，而在英国你会看到如此的交通标牌Keep to the left(靠左侧走)。
3. 有时人们在给对方指路后，还往往加上一些句子，以表示他的引路信息介绍完毕。
如：You can’t miss it (你可不能找不到的)，You are sure to get there(你必然会抵达那儿的)，You can’t go wrong (你可不能走错的)。
【如何用英语问路】1. 用英语问路的经常使用套语：Excuse me，can you tell me where the railway station is?劳驾，请问火车站在哪儿?Excuse me，but can you tell me the way to the train station? 劳驾，你能告知我去火车站的路吗?Excuse me，could you tell me which is the way to the nearest hos pital? 请问去最近的医院怎么走?Excuse me，would you please show me the way to the post office? 请告知我去邮局怎么走好吗?Excuse me，would you mind telling me the way to the police station? 对不起，请告知我去警察局怎么走好吗?Excuse me，could you give me some directions? 请你给我指指路好吗?Excuse me，can you direct me to the post office? 请问到邮局怎么走?Excuse me，where’s the men’s (ladies’)，please? 请问男(女)茅厕在什么地址?Excuse me，where’s the bus station，please?请问公共汽车站在什么地址?Excuse me，how can I get to the No. 1 Middle School? 请问去一中怎么走?Excuse me，could you tell me where ther e is a public telephone? 请问哪儿有公用?Excuse me，is this the right way to the People’s Park? 请问去人民公园走这条路对吗?Excuse me，does this bus go to the train station? 请问这辆公共汽车是开往火车站的吗?Excuse me，I wonder if you could do me a favour. I’m looking for the police station.对不起，不知可否帮我，我在找警察局。
