　　What does it take to be a good neighbour? Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbours, ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.

　　One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect a person's privacy(隐私)．When someone new moves into the neighbourhood，it is a good idea to watch them to see how friendly you should be.If you go rushing over as soon as they move in, they may think you are going to be one of those neighbours that come over at all times of the day, not respecting their privacy.

　　It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood.This can not only put you on good terms with them, but will also be a form of protection for your family and home.If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard, this shows that you respect them.If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.

Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in times of need.If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of a disaster(灾难)
