 Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be
increased.

When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral
water cups, straws, and napkins here and there.  The condition of uncleanliness and
discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly
cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses.  They can be filled out with water
coming from the rain.  This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.  Besides,
these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not
mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.

` Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the
school environment.  They put their litters on the proper places.  But some are not diligent
enough to find the dust bins.  The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough.  
Ore dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more
also the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters.  So when students
want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.

When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak
and discomfort any more.  Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.
1. Yes, working is always for a living.

2. I agree if my mother works since it can help lessen my family's

financial burden.

3. The relation is if we have healthy body, we can have fun activity

with our family members

4. Money brings happiness if we know how to use it wisely, such as

doing charity for the needy.

5. It does not guarantee, but it boosts someone's confidence
