Dustbins
To improve comfort and cleanliness
at our school, a number of dustbins should be increased. when we look at
classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are papers, mineral water
cups, straws and napkins here and there. the condition of uncleanliness and
discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown
carelessly cause disease, especially empty for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.
Besides, this rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well-painted wall and green
school yard do not mean anything if litters are scattered everywhere.
I notice that most of the student in
our school have responsibilities for their school environment. They put their
litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the
dustbin. The number of dustbins in our school is not enough. Most dustbins
should be put beside each of steps, outside the classrooms and some more along
the corridors. Probably one dustbin should be in every ten meters. When
students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dustbins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dustbins, we do not have problems of filth and discomfort anymore. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.
