How to be a good citizen

Citizenship makes me think of something President J.F.

Kennedy once said: “Ask not what your country can do for you -
what you can do for your country”. So, if you want to be a good
citizen, you should take an active role in your society. How?

First of all, follow and respect the rules in your community. This can be at places such as
school, home or any public place. Second, do your part in taking care of the environment:
you can do this by recycling your own rubbish and saving energy and water at home.
Third, be respectful to your family, friends and neighbors and help people in need. This
can be as simple as helping the elderly to carry their groceries or cross the street. Forth,
volunteer in community or charity organizations: you can volunteer at a homeless shelter
or orphanage or rest home to clean the facility or cook food. Fifth, you can also participate
in a fund raising event for a poor person who is ill or some charity organization in your
community. Last but not least, be a good person.
