Last Saturday was a special day for me because I volunteered to make Zhoushan a national civilized city (全国文明城市). Early in the morning, my friend and I walked to Kaihong shopping center and we picked up the rubbish along the way. It was very meaningful, although we felt a little tired. After that, we tried to be traffic policemen. We stood at the crossing and asked people to follow the traffic rules. Some people didn’t care about what we said, but we were still kind to them. We thought being policemen was so difficult.
I really like being part of the city. This Saturday made me love my city more than before. What a special day!
