I think getting along with neighbours is not easy as they might be selfish or unfriendly. Last time our neighbours had to dogs which they kept in a large pen along the corridor. The pen was so wide that it blocked most of the corridor. My parents had a hard time trying to get across to the little space between the pen and the wall. What was worse was that the dogs were aggressive and barked at my parents when they accidentally bumped into the pen. Eventually my parents had a discussion with our neighbours, and in the end our neighbours gave the dogs to their relatives.

I believe that getting along with our neighbours is important as they can be there to help you when you are in need. There was one time that me and my parents had a quarantine order (or QO) last year. We could not go out and we were running low on provisions. Our neighbours, seeing that we have not gone out for a few days, came over and asked us if we needed help. After we explained that we were in QO, our neighbours volunteered to go buy groceries for us. We were very grateful to them, and so I think getting along with our neighbours is important.

I think getting along with my neighbours is easy. Because they are kind and friendly and me and my family talks to them during the weekends. Close relationships with me and my neighbours enhace my family's social life and create meaningful connections. A friendly neighbourhood dynamic encourages me and my family to get out of the house, have some fun, and meet new people.

I think getting along with my neighbours are easy. As long as I am friendly towards them, whether I know them or not, they would be friendly to me as well. My family moves frequently, as such, I meet a lot of new neighbours. All it takes is a simple act such as greeting them to spark a friendship between the two families. As my family moves often, I can sympathise on how others feel when they are new to a certain surroundings. An example would be my neighbours from China, who moved in less than 2 months ago. At first, we did not speak to each other as we rarely saw them. However, after I smiled everytime I met them, they became more open ans soon we became good friends. Now, we even exchange food from the different cultures!
I think getting along with my neighbours are important as they would be the first person my family and I would turn to as a pillar of support. All our neighbours are on good terms with each other and we help each other whenever we can. In times of an emergency, they would be the best people to turn to as well.

It is important because when we have closer relationships with my neighbours enhance my family's social life and create meaningful connections. A friendly neighborhood encourages me and my family to get out of the house, have some fun, and meet new people.

I think getting along with our neighbours is easy.
It all takes a simple smile or wave when we see our neighbours at the void deck.Although some neighbours may seem cold or always angry, a simple act of waiting for him/her to enter the lift can be an ice breaker.

I personally have very friendly and kind neighbours. Whenever we see each other, we will give each other a small wave and catch up a bit in the lift. Sometimes, during the festive
seasons, my Chinese neighbours will give my family a plate of yummy treats. To thank them for letting us taste their tasty food, every time when my family comes back to Singapore, will we give them a souvenir from the country we went.

Do you think getting along with your neighbours is easy? Why/Why not?

I think getting with my neighbours are not as easy as getting alon gwith my friends. My neighbours are japanese, Vietnamese and Korean. i do not understand their language except for vietnamese. I visited my vietnamese neighbours house a few times. we even went down to the playground together. during my visit in my neighbours house, her house was big and spacious. however, her dogs always urinate in the corridor, making it smelly. and sometimes they even pee in the lift. however, i cannot blame them as their dogs are getting old.

Why do you think it is important to get along with your neighbours?
yes, i think it is important to get along with our neighbours. if we do not getlong with our neightbours, we will not be happy where we live. we can always help them when we are need and have them to help us back. once, i forgot to press the lift button to level 2, and it rose up to level 38. my friend happpened be in the same lift, and she asked me to wait in her house.her house was elegant, but i had to leave as lift had arrived.

Getting along with your neighbours is easy, and it is something everyone should do. Neighbours are like 'friends', sometimes even 'family'. I usually go to the nearby park to practice skateboarding with my neighbour, and sometimes my parents invite my neighbour to have dinner/lunch at our house.

I think getting along with my neighbours is easy as I tend to make friends fast. If we do not we have friends in school, we can always make friends with our neighbours as we see them most of the time. I have neighbour that lives on the same block and level. Sometimes I play with the kids at the void deck or the playground or the badminton court.

It actually depends on how the neighbour is, angry or kind and how they treat u. Before I moved to Bishan, I had many many kind neighbours, we’d would go to each other’s houses in the middle of the night and play some board games secretly. I only had one angry neighbour, when we would play badminton or catching, he would go out of his house and shout at us.
There was one time he let his cat to bully my rabbit, the cat scratched my rabbit a lot. There was fur and blood everywhere. Luckily, he had to pay. We went to the vet and he payed the vet fees.

Firstly, all of us may have different views on our corridor, like the cleanliness, spacious and drying our clothes by hanging it outside the window. Some of us may also disagree with each other for other things. I f only we do not jump to conclusions, than we can live peacefully in a flat together.

I think I can get along with my neighbours easily. They are always very friendly to me. I stayed in an old house when I was younger and could easily make friends with my old neighbours. My family and I then moved house and we met new neighbours. We only took about two days to get to know each other. My brother and I would even visit their house. However, due to Covid-19, we could not really visit them. Nevertheless, we still say hello to each other and chat with each other.

I think getting along with our neighbours is important. They can sometimes be in need of help and we need to help them. If we do not help them, they may become very sad. Furthermore, if we are in need, and we do not have any good neighbours, we may also be sad.

I easily get along with my neighbours as they are friendly and social. They are just like friends to me. I sometimes visit them at their house or even invite them over to play. We sometimes even head out together. My neighbours also share food with my family, and in return, we share some food back.

I think getting along with my neighbours  as my neighbours are always very friendly to me and to me I always consider them as my friends.I think that neighbours are the people who should be one of closest people to you as they live next to you and should know you well.

I think getting along with my neighbours can be easy and hard.
It depends on our neighbours behaviour and how they treat you. If your neighbour is very friendly and kind, we can visit them often and become friends. If your neighbour is very unfriendly and unkind and always disturbs you every time, you should try and make peace with each other and make sure that nobody's feelings are hurt.
When it was the day before my family and I were leaving our house, our neighbours visited us and brought food and drinks for a farewell dinner. It was a very big party as all our friendly and favourite neighbours were there too.

I think that it is important to get along with your neighbours.
If you are in need of help and you have no one to to help you, you can always reach out to your neighbours for help. If there is a problem that you are facing, you can always ask a trusted neighbour for help.
When I was working on a project, and my mind started going blank on idea's for the project. I started getting frustrated with myself. Suddenly, my favourite neighbour, Uncle Tam, a very calm and smart person. He told me that he heard my shouts of upsetness. He asked me what the problem was. I explained everything to him and he understood immediately. Uncle Tam and I worked on the project and completed it on time. I was greatful for his help to me. He will always be my favourite and most helpful neighbour that I had ever had.

Getting along with neighbours is not easy, especially during this pandemic. Some our neighbours may be paranoid when they come to know that the government put us on Quarantine Order (QO), Health Risk Warning (HRW) or even when we just have the sinus allergy problem.
During these difficult times, we must be patient and understanding at all times. If we feel that we are extremely angry with them, please note that it is normal. W hen this happens, do not explode but reply politely and in short sentences.
The Chinese have a saying that means Your neighbours are as important as your relatives who live a long distance away. When your relatives live far away and you need help, your neighbours are the ones whom will help you. However, this does not mean that you can neglect your relatives. I believe that balance is needed for everything.
