Question

【题目】 Being on bad terms with your neighbors can make your life frustrating day after day. But taking the time to establish a good relationship with your neighbors has a good many benefits. The community will be friendlier, the neighborhood safer, and the area a nicer place to live in. There are some suggestions to develop a good relationship with your neighbors.

Whether you’re new in the neighborhood or new residents who have just moved into your block, introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area.

Sometimes, you can remedy(补救) problems before they even start; for example, if you do a lot of yard work, let them know in advance and mention that if it’s getting too loud, they shouldn’t hesitate to let you know.

Be aware of the shared walls, if you and your neighbors share adjacent(相邻的) living spaces. Try to put noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers away from the shared walls.

Keep your pet dog on a leash(皮带) if it has a habit of running rampant on your neighbors’ lawns, especially if they have a pet cat or a pet dog of their own, and ensure to clean up after it.

When you park your vehicle, be sure not to block anyone’s access, or make them have to pull out of a very tight spot. Don’t slam(砰地关上) your car doors late at night.

Weed your garden in a regular way, because the presence of weeds in your yard is not only unsightly but can also spread to your neighbor’s yard.

Really good neighbors watch out for each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that impact the larger neighborhood and look for opportunities to communicate. Great neighbors make for great neighborhood.
