B
World Sanitation Workers' Day（世界环卫工人节）falls on October 26th every year. It is a day to show respect to the people who keep our cities clean and tidy. This year, to understand their hard work better, I volunteered to work as a community cleaner for a whole day.
I arrived at the community at 5:30 a.m. It was still dark and a bit cold. I worked with an experienced cleaner. We swept the roads, picked up rubbish and cleaned the corners that people seldom noticed. At first, I thought the work would be simple. However, after just two hours, my arms and back ached badly. I felt really tired. I wanted to give up, but I saw the cleaner keep working without complaint（抱怨）.
Many people passed by us during the day. Most of them just walked quickly, but a few stopped to say "thank you" to us. Those warm words cheered me up at once. When the work ended in the afternoon, the whole community looked clean and nice. Looking at our
achievement, I felt proud instead of being tired.
From this experience, I truly understood that sanitation workers are common but great. They get little attention but do the most necessary job. We should not only thank them on this special day but also care for them in our daily life. The best way to show our respect is to keep our environment clean and never throw rubbish away at random.
