Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion, what are the qualities of a good neighbor? Use specific details and examples in your answer.
Neighbors are the people who live near us and a good neighbor could be our best friend in the daily life. What qualities should a good neighbor have? When faced with such a question, people would present many different answers according to respective angles, such as generosity, patience etc. In my view, however, I advocate that a good neighbor should be the person who is warm-hearted, considerate and sensible. My arguments are presented as follows.

To begin with, a warm-hearted neighbor owns one of the most precious personality traits. Such a person is helpful and unselfish. He is always willing to give his neighbors help whenever they are trapped into difficulties. For example, when there are some emergencies in one’s family and the couple must leave home immediately, only leaving the 3 years old boy at home. A warm-hearted neighbor would be glad to take care of his neighbors’ kid, like providing him with food, until the parent comes back. When his neighbors are sick, he would visit them in hospital and extend the best wishes. All these activities could build a strong tie between him and his neighbors, leading to an improved and harmonious atmosphere, in which people are happy and compatible.

Next, a good neighbor should be considerate, which would be beneficial to the relationship of neighbors. As we all know, people like to live in a quiet and tranquil environment. However, some neighbors of them always make big noise like playing music loudly, no matter at daytime or in evenings. When you are trying to finish your paper, how can you concentrate on the study with such a loud noise? Neighbors who are considerate will never act on this way such as talking or singing in the backyard at midnight to annoy others. In fact, they always think of neighbor’s benefits while doing something and descend the negative influence to the least. Thus, the relations between neighbors will be enhanced and promoted.

Furthermore, sensibility means that a good neighbor is not annoying other persons with trivial or private issues. Everyone would rather guard some personal privacy and secrecy. They do not want other people to mention some sensitive topics such as money or age. A wise and sensible neighbor is able to make clear which direction of talking is correct, avoiding embarrassing situations and bringing the pleasant topics.

As discussed above, a warm-hearted, considerate and sensible neighbor is the best to associate with. Although there may be some other personality traits that are satisfying such as generosity and patience, the three points proved here are obviously of primary importance. This kind of neighbor is always welcome in every community.
