Neighbours are our friends who live near us. They can be closer to us than our relatives who live far away from us. I have a very close neighbour called Spencer. Spencer is 60 years old, about 178 meters tall with a weight of 60 kilograms. He is still very fit and healthy. He looks younger than his age because he has no white hair.
Neighbours are part of our life. Everyday, I see Spencer at the bus stop near my estate when I was waiting for the bus to school. He rides his bike every morning and past the bus stop. We always say "hello" to each other. I know that he will ride to Tai Po for a bowl of fishball noodles and he will be back at about nine o'clock. I enjoy listening to Spencer's stories, such as what he played in his childhood and whom he played with.
Neighbours can be very helpful when we are in need. I remember my aunt sent us an old model TV. It was too heavy to move from the corridor to my flat. Spencer came to help out. We felt very warm because whenever there is a need, Spencer has no hesitation to show his love and concern to our family.
To sum up, good neighbours are indispensable in our life. They can be friends, listeners of our stories, and our real assistants when we are in need. So, there is no reasons that we would not love our neighbours.

Synonym and Antonym
Read the following passage and find the synonym and antonym words.
The leading causes of amnesia健忘症 are either physical or psychological.
In antergrade amnesia, the subject is unable to recall the events that occur after a shock or an injury to the brain; however, past memories will not be lost.
In retrograde amnesia, the patient is capable of recalling events that occur after the trauma; interestingly enough, the information stored before the shock, is lost and cannot be retrieved.
In paraamnesia, established memories are contorted. In psychogenic fugue, the subject may venture into a new lifestyle, trying to repress memories which lead to trepidation. The events happening during psychogenic fugue are non-retrievable. Nonetheless, the experiences that happened before the onset can be recovered.
