In my opinion, good neighbors are rare and some people do not even know who their neighbors are. First of all, a good neighbor is not noisy and they do not ask you personal questions. In addition, they do not make a lot of noise when you want to relax or sleep. Of course, they should invite you to a party because good neighbors are also friendly. You should be able to pop in and chat to your neighbor and have a cup of tea together. Good neighbors are also willing to help you if you need them. In other words a good neighbor shows kindness or helpfulness to ward his or her fellow humans: to be a good neighbor to some one in distress. There are some qualities of good neighbor. The first quality of good neighbor is helpfulness. Helpfulness is the best characteristic of a good neighbor. Because whenever bad things happen to me, only my relatives or my close neighbors maybe help me to overcome the problems. However, my relatives may be far from me so my good neighbors can provide the immediate help. In the same way, a good neighbor who likes to help others will get help in return. So help each others can form a friendly and harmonious relationship among the good neighbors. For example, I have good neighbor, whose name is Charles, last year I got sick .At the time I didn’t have any stand by relative, but my good neighbor Charles calls emergency and took me a hospital. Therefore, helpfulness is the best identification of good neighbor. The second quality of good neighbor is being very reliable. I can trust my good neighbor only if he or she is reliable person. That makes me feel safe to associate with him/her. Imaging that if my neighbor is not reliable, I will feel good about having my neighbor look
