We often face the following situations in our daily life：

●The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night.

●The family across the street never cleans up their yard.The rubbish blows into your yard.

●The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.

Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, "Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me？"

These days, many people don't know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names! When you don't know someone, it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, "Maybe they like to make me angry, " or "Maybe they do it on purpose." Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate(激怒)you. Often, they don't even know that they're making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.

When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner.Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.

If talking doesn't work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.

Finally, sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way.
