      Think about all the other service workers in our community.Cleaners collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary（衛(wèi)生）.Road workers repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us，but also our cars!And think about what would happen without teachers in our school.
      Think again about what we eat，what we wear and what we use every day.We cannot produce them，but we use them all the time.The tireless workers keep our community running.We need them but in fact，we are one of them.So let's support and help each other.Only when we pull together can we make our community a better place.
