Last year, I was thinking of moving house. Before I moved, I wanted to make a new path for my house. I asked my neighbour to help me move the heavy concrete steps that lead up to my door. After he helped me with the steps, he stayed and gave me a lot of help with the path. The path looked much better and took much less time to make because he helped me. When we were finished, I decided not to move because I realised how important good neighbours are. So, his kindness changed my decision about moving. It also makes my neighbourhood a better place to live because it is a stronger community.

con. ext. fs. :+}

kindness means to show sympathy to someone and caring means to care about somebody. when my friend was sad I cared about and made her feel happy.
