You should try to have a good relationship with your neighbours, because you never know1you may need their help. If they do something to annoy (让……不高兴) you, it is2to discuss it in a polite way than to have an argument (争论) about it.
For example, if your neighbours are playing loud music that you do not like, ask them politely to3the music instead of4the police directly for help.
Trees and fences (围栏) can also be a5of disagreement between neighbours. My grandmother likes sitting 6in the sun after lunch, but her neighbour has put up a high fence that7sunshine from going into her yard in the early afternoon. My grandmother does not want to be8with him, because he9her a lot of support when my grandfather died last year. So she went to talk with the neighbour in a friendly way.
Then, her neighbour lowered the fence just enough to give her some sunshine10losing his privacy (私人空间). My grandmother cut down the tree that was above his garden and dropped leaves all over his lawn (草坪) in the autumn. Finally, they reached an agreement which made both pleased.
