This is An Binh commune radio station. In today's special
programme, we will share with you a piece of writing which won
first prize in our writing contest test called “My favourite
community helper”. This was written by Mi, a grade nine 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 hardworking and responsible. Every day
he goes to our neighbourhood at 06:00 p.m with a garbage cart.
He instructs everyone to put garbage in the correct bin,
recyclable and nonrecyclable, and then goes to the next
neighbourhood at about 09:00 p.m. He comes back and empties
all the bins carefully.
