For me, the most important quality a good neighbor can have is 
consideration. Consideration means doing nice things for your neighbor 
and not doing annoying things. The reason being considerate is so 
important is that it’s the way to show respect for your neighbor. I think 
that’s the most important thing for helping people get along with each 
other. [pause] For example, [short pause] my mom’s neighbors are really 
considerate. They’re usually quiet, but if they do have parties, they 
always tell my mom before they do. That way she doesn’t get upset 
because she knows it’ll be noisy. They also do nice things for her, like

Of all these activities, I would not enjoy spending a day at home alone. 
That’s because I like being with other people. I like doing things with 
friends, but a whole day at home alone would not be fun. I could watch 
TV for a while, but I get bored after a few hours alone, and I want 
someone to talk to. Plus, I like to get out of my house. I like to walk 
around and have contact with other people. On the other hand, if I’m 
home alone all day, I feel lonely and restless, not happy.

I prefer to eat the food I know rather than new food. I just don’t like eating 
new things. I usually think new ingredients are kind of scary. Also, it turns 
out that I’m picky about food and don’t like a lot of things. One example is 
the last time I went to a nice restaurant with friends. Everything on the 
menu had weird ingredients, like fruit with meat. It all sounded awful, so I 
ordered a nice, reliable steak. Then when everyone got their meals, we 
all tried everything. Everyone else’s food tasted as strange as I’d 
imagined it would.
