In pioneer days, being a good neighbour was very important.Neighbours helped one another raise a house, build a barn, and clear fields.Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment.But today in our cities and suburbs, neighboring is not common.A family may not even know the other families that live close by.
在拓荒时代，成为好邻居非常重要。邻居们相互帮助养家糊口，修建谷仓，清理农田。家庭之间相互依赖获得友谊和娱乐。但如今在市区或者市郊，比邻而居并不常见。一个家庭可能甚至不认识附近居住的其他家庭。
