piece of writing which won first prize in our writing contest called "My Favourite Community
Helper". This was written by Mi, a grade 9 student.
There are many great community helpers in our neighbourhood but my favourite one is Mr Vinh,
the garbage collector. Mr Vinh is a tall and slim man. He usually wears a green uniform with
reflective stripes. He is hard-working and responsible. Every day he goes to our neighbourhood
at 6 p.m. with a garbage cart. He instructs everyone to put garbage in the correct bin: recyclable
and non-recyclable, and then goes to the next neighbourhood. At about 9 p.m. he comes back and
empties all the bins carefully. Mr Vinh is also friendly. He usually keeps a smile on his face. He
talks with the people in our community cheerfully about his work and the importance of sorting
rubbish. We all love him.
