A neighbourhood is the area around our home. It includes the houses, roads, shops, and other places near where we live. The people who live near us are called our neighbours.
Every neighbourhood has some important places that help people in many ways:
School: Children go to school to learn and study. Teachers teach us there.
Market / Shop: We buy vegetables, fruits, groceries, and other things from the market. Shopkeepers sell goods to us.
Hospital: When we are sick, we go to the hospital. Doctors and nurses take care of us there.
Post Office: Letters and parcels are sent and received at the post office. The postman delivers letters to our homes.
Park: Children play in the park. Families go there for fresh air and exercise.
Temple / Mosque / Church: People go to places of worship to pray.
Police Station: The police keep us safe. If there is any trouble, we can go to the police station for help.
Bank: People keep their money safe in a bank. They can also take money out when they need it.
| Place | People Who Work There | How They Help Us |
|---|---|---|
| School | Teachers, Principal | Teach us and help us learn |
| Hospital | Doctors, Nurses | Treat us when we are sick |
| Post Office | Postman, Clerk | Deliver letters and parcels |
| Police Station | Police officers | Keep us safe from danger |
| Market | Shopkeepers, Vendors | Sell us food and other goods |
| Bank | Bank manager, Cashier | Keep our money safe |
We should always try to be good neighbours. Here is how:
Help others: If an elderly neighbour needs help carrying bags, offer to help.
Do not litter: Keep the streets and lanes clean. Throw waste only in dustbins.
Be friendly: Greet your neighbours with a smile. Share sweets during festivals like Diwali and Eid.
Do not make too much noise: Avoid playing loud music late at night. Be considerate.
