Question

If you have a good neighbour, you are a lucky person. You have someone who cares about your needs and your property (财产).

A good neighbour is someone who, for example, understands that your children may run across his garden, even though you tell them not to. He or she realizes that children can be careless about things like that, and he won’t make a big fuss about it unless it becomes a regularthing. He doesn’t make a big deal about it.

A good neighbour is also respectful (尊重的) of your property. For example, he or she won’t plant a huge tree between your houses without asking how you feel about it. If he or she wants to put up a fence, he or she will let you know first. He or she might work with you to decide where it should be placed.

A good neighbour will lend you some milk if you don’t have any. He or she will give you a ride to work if there is something wrong with your car, and let your children stay at his or her house in the evening if you are really busy with work. You will do the same for him or her. Both of you will help make the other’s life easier.
