MA Making an Argument 15
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.
There are several qualities that a good neighbor has. If you have a
good neighbor, you are a lucky person. You have someone who is respectful
of your property, who is helpful with the little day-to-day problems that arise,
and who is supportive in times of crisis.
A good neighbor respects your property. This means she asks for your
permission before doing something that may affect you. She doesn’t plant a
huge tree between your houses without asking you how you feel about it. If
she wants to put up a fence, she tells you about her plans first.
A good neighbor is willing to lend a hand when you need a little help.
He lends you some milk if you run out, or gives you a ride if your car breaks
down. He lets your children stay at his house if you get stuck working
overtime. You do the same for him. Both of you help make each other’s lives
easier.
When you go through a crisis, like a death in the family, a good
neighbor volunteers to help in any way she can. She might do something
small, like prepare a few meals for you. Or, she might do something big, like
help you get through the sadness of a funeral.
A neighbor can be as close as a good friend, or more like a distant
acquaintance. Either way, a good neighbor is someone who respects you and
supports you as he can. We should all be lucky enough to have good
neighbors.
