'Being respectful and helpful' - the qualities of a good neighbor

Since human beings are sociable inherently, they tend to interact with the people around- neighbors. Neighbors directly affect the social environment we live in, so they are part of our lives. A good neighbor, who is friendly, respectful and helpful, can make our local area a better place to live in.

The first quality that a good neighbor should have is to be friendly. If a neighbor greets you with a smile whenever you see his/her, you feel that he/she appreciates living close to you. It makes you feel that you can account on his/her whenever you need an advice or condolence.

Another quality for a good neighbor is to be respectful. Neighbors should respect each other's possessions and privacy to make a peaceful environment. A good neighbor should not invade your property. For example if he want to plant a tree between your house and his, he should let you know and ask your permission. He should not leave his trash on your place; moreover he should not make loud noise or run a party in late hours of night, which will bother others.

The other of a good neighbor is helpfulness. A helpful neighbor may let your children stay at her home if you stuck working, or call the police in case of a burglary, when you are away.

I believe all people has a duty to be a good neighbor, because they might also need a help or support from the people who are living closed to them, and they need to live in a peaceful and happy environment.

Hi,

I just read through your essay. The qualities of an ideal neighbor described are good but you could probably support it with an example for atleast one quality.

I also feel that the ending could be improved on a little :)

I think the beginning should be:

Since humans are sociable in nature...

The first quality that a good neighbor should have is to be friendly. If a neighbor greets you with a smile whenever you see him/her

It makes you feel that you can count on him/her whenever you need advice.

Another quality that defines a good neighbor is that he/she should be respectful.

Ending:
I believe that it is each one's responsibility to respect their neighbor's property as well as privacy...

Maybe you should replace the phrase 'good neighbor' with something else as there seems to be a lot of repetition.

Cheers!
