A good neighbour is someone who, for example, understands that your children may run across his garden, even though you tell them not to.

A good neighbour is also respectful (尊重的) of your property. For example, he or she won’t plant a huge tree between your houses without asking how you feel about it. If he or she wants to put up a fence, he or she will let you know first. He or she might work with you to decide where it should be placed.
