What makes a good neighbor?

  Being in the shutting metropolis for so long, we hardly have chance to talk to our neighbors, or join community activities. Great neighborhood relationship doesn’t seem to exist nowadays, but we should still think about good neighbors’ quality, which means we still look forward to that day when we all come out of our cage-like houses, hold beers and chitchat with our neighbors.

  To make a good neighbor, in the first place, you’ll have to be free in most of the time so that you could get to know people around you. If you are a busy man who seems to go away on business a lot, you cannot even be a ‘neighbor’ at all. Because the key point of neighborhood relationship is communication, and enough time to do this.

  Then, a good neighbor should be responsible, and should always be a friend that others can count on. Lots of families ask their neighbors to take care of their little kids when they’re not around. You have to be trustful enough to become a good neighbor. For example, a young foreigner have just moved next to your house, it’s necessary for you to show him around in order to make him feel connected to the new social environment.

  In addition to these virtues, I think being a little more talkative and outgoing to blend in the community as much as you can are also very important. Because neighbor is not just a helper in need, but also a friend to share problems or maybe, to have fun together. So speaking at that point, I think, having a good personality (especially easy-going) also makes a good neighbor.

I once saw a scene in the TV series Good Luck Charlie that Teddy called her neighbor Mrs.*** (sorry I forgot the name) to send her naughty brother Gabe to the hospital because their mom is having the baby. I think that is what a good neighbor should do, both verbally, and ‘physically’. If I have a chance, I will be a good neighbor.
