Hi, I am Minji. I live in a small town in Korea. Last Saturday, my dad and I took a long walk around our town. We wanted to visit the places that help people in our community.
Our first stop was the library near the park. It was so quiet that I could hear pages turning. I found three books about sea animals and borrowed them with my library card. You do not have to pay to borrow books there!
Next, we went to the post office. Dad mailed a package to Grandma, who lives in Busan. Inside the box was a warm scarf for her birthday. A friendly worker weighed the box and printed a label for it.
After that, we walked past the fire station. A firefighter was washing a big red fire truck. She waved at me with a bright smile. Next to it was the police station. The police work day and night to keep our town safe.
Our last stop was the hospital, because Dad had a bad cough. A kind doctor listened to his chest and said, 'Drink warm water and get plenty of rest.' Dad thanked her and promised to take care of himself.
That night, I read my new library books in bed. I thought about all the kind people who help our town every day. I love my community, and I want to help others when I grow up.
