First, a good neighbour is a good friend. One winter day when our family moved to a new house, our neighborhood helped us to 3 some furniture(家具) and told us something 4 this neighbourhood. They invited all members of 5 family to their home and have a hot drink. They made us 6 comfortable here.
Next, a good neighbor is a good relative(亲戚).When we travel, our neighbors 7 take care of our house and keep the letters for us. When they 8 , we also help them as they do. In the new neighborhood, we always 9 each other. We are just like good relatives.
Finally, I get a very important 10 from our neighbours that having a good neighbour is being a good neighbor yourself.
