Very good work SC.

As we all know neighbors are the people who live near us and consequently we share with them our daily life. They are diverse people with their own habits and behaviors and they have their invisible impact on us. Good neighbors can make us feel comfortable and give us much support and everyone would benefit from a good relationship with them. In my point of view, these are the qualities of a good neighbor.
One of the most important characteristics of a good neighbors is that they are well-behaved and are friendly to others. Imagine yourself, in the morning, when you are going to work, a friendly smile and wishing good luck from your neighbor make you feel self-confident, and surely you try to detour meeting with a bad person, like when you see a “black cat crossing your way”. Moreover, children are most likely to be influenced by neighbors and carry on habits that they have. Therefore, we feel more comfortable with having good neighbors, knowing that our children are in safe environment.
Another important quality of a good neighbor is that they should be helpful. In our daily life we may be forced with different kinds of difficulties or troublesome situations, that we can’t resolve ourselves. In the current situation, the first person who comes to our mind is often our good neighbor, who can probably give us the quickest back up. That’s why in some cases good neighbors are as important as relatives for us, because they can provide an immediate help. And definitely if we need to have a good neighbor, in the same way, a neighbor likes to get feedback from us.
In a conclusion, I want to add the proverb: “It’s better to have one good neighbor next to you, than ten good relatives far from you”. The best way to have a good neighbor, is by being good ones ourselves. We can’t demand others to do something for us, if we don’t offer to do it for them, as in any cases we are neighbors for them.
In sum, I think that for having or being good neighbor, characteristics that qualify good behaviors are important qualities for feeling that you are in your comfort zone.
