When you want to buy or rent a house, you expect not only the good quality of the house but also the nice neighbours who live near you. Almost everyone agrees that good neighbours can help each other. In my opinion, a good neighbour should be someone who respects your life, be ready to help you and care about the environment in the neighbourhood.

First of all, it is very important for your neighbour to respect your life. Just imagine, if your neighbour is curious about you, especially your personal life and tries to know more about it by any way. How will you feel? What is more, he or she may also talk with others about your life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer must be negative (否定的). You may move as soon as you can.

Next, what you should consider is that a good neighbour is always willing to give you a hand when you are in trouble. For example, if you are not at home and someone suspect tries to open your door, your neighbour who sees it should call 110. It will help you to protect your property.

Finally, a good neighbour should care about the environment. He or she should throw all the rubbish into

Dear Peter,

I’m glad to receive your letter. I have learned from your letter that you are concerned about the smog which frequently appears in some areas of China. Thank you for your concern. I m also very worried about such terrible weather because it has brought much inconvenience or rather harm to people s health such as traffic jam, road accidents, bad coughs, throat hurts and cancers and so on. As everybody knows, a good environment comes from good protection. So we should do what we can to make a difference. Try to drive less and choose air-friendly products. Only when everyone has the environmental awareness can we have cleaner air.

Hope to hear from you soon and share your good ideas.

Yours,

Li Ming
