Some people have a very poor sense of direction(方向感). Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl, I never dared(敢) to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive useless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, "Sorry, I am a stranger here."

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed the man who had asked me for directions there. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

Everyone needs help sometimes.People depend on one another.That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson's place did last week, it might be burned down and people got hurt...or worse.We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely.If the firemen hadn't come so fast,the Jacksons might have lost everything.

And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after heavy rain.

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community.We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary.We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but also our cars! And what would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?

Think again about what we eat every day and what we wear every day.We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time.We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running.We need these people in the community.We depend on each other.Let's support each other and help each other.Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

31.What happened to the Jacksons last week?
