Living in a community, people depend on each other and help each other. That is why a group of special people in the community are ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a house catches fire, as Miller’s house did last month, it might be burned down and people might get hurt…or worse. Luckily, the community firemen came to put out the fire and saved them.
Think about these years, who has helped us receive COVID-19 vaccinations(疫苗) in order. Who has worked around the clock helping to organize COVID-19 tests? It is the community doctors and nurses that make sure we have a healthy life.
And what about our local police? They protect our families and valuable things. Especially after a heavy rain, they always come to save the people.
Think about all the other service workers in our community. Cleaners collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary(卫生). 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.

Life is all about choices. My choice was to become an excellent doctor in a big hospital when I was a boy. Because I want to help people to live healthier and longer. To achieve this goal, I’ve changed a lot. I tried my best to study hard and became the best student in our class. Because I’m going to go for a top medical university in China.
