  I have good,kind ,loving and amiable neighbours on both sides of my house.The most outstanding things my neighbour helps us to do is mown the grass and shovel the snow in front of our house.He is always ready to help anytime of the day you call him.I will not fail to say that i am highly privileged and lucky to have my type of neighbours.

  My neighbors are very friendly and helpful. we spend time together when we get time in fun oriented activities for example playing cricket and often celebrate festivals. Also, we look after each other’s home when we are away from houses.

  Neighbour is the person who is as close to you as any other family members. He/she has a look at all the activities you perform over the entire day. For example, when you leave house in the morning , when you come back, what you do after you come at your house, what plans you make on weekend, when you have food , what time you sleep, etc.By knowing all these things about you, he or she makes sure that they act as a watchman, as a caretaker or may be cruel eyes to look out for on you. But in a way they help you and sometimes help you get out of any difficult conditions. Please take a note that when you do not have your relatives around you to safe you from particular problem, then these neighbours play an important part in your life by acting as real relatives. So, we need to respect our neighbours, whether or not they are good or bad.
