Petrol Station

MY SPECIAL PLACE

My special place in the community is the petrol station

The petrol station is a special place because if you run out of gas,you can go to any petrol station to to fill your car up.

The petrol station is important to our community because if you have no gas, there will be no petrol, then the people will not be able to travel a far distance.

Another reason that the petrol station is important to the community is because big tanker trucks bring gas to the station so that people in the community can fill their cars up with more petrol. After a few days, the petrol station will run a out of gas and the trucks that brings the petrol comes again and fills the gas station with gas.

If you need some directions on where you need to go, just go and find a petrol station and ask them for a map to buy or if you have no money, just ask them to tell you the directions. If you are hungry,  you can go and buy some food.

If your window screen is all dusty and dirty, you can use their bucket and squeegee to wash your window. The petrol station is an important place in our community because it is a place where people come for petrol and for food. If people are out of gas, usually the attendant comes and fills up your car for you, but these days, you have to do it yourself.

Why is the school a special place in my community?

Why is the school a special place in my community?

A school is a learning centre where learners of all ages come together to learn about everything, therefore it is a very special place in the community.

First, school is fun because the students get to learn about a lot of new things like netbooks, computers, food, sports, maths, science and languages. The school  has  a teacher to teach the enthusiastic learners about new things. When students become  experts at one level, they get the opportunity to move to another level.

Then there are special sessions to help students build their  confidence in talking in front of the  school and other people and this makes the school a special place as well. The  school is also important because it provides the learners with the opportunity to read and write so they can get a job faster.

Next, schools are important because they let us students play,  talking to each other, make friends and gives them new opportunities. They learn new things everyday just like the teacher. Everyday students go to school and they get a chance to do something and learn new cool things.

Furthermore, a school is also a sports centre for the students and the community as well because it has facilities like playgrounds, swimming pools, courts and the hall where different sports can be played.  Students also benefit from getting special skills in sports from sports coaches hired by the school and that makes the school a special place.

Finally, the school can be used for special events like weddings, church services, birthday parties and community meetings because it has a hall where people can gather for a meeting. Most schools have these facilities available to the community so it make the school a special place.

A school is a special place in the community because it plays so many different roles meet the needs of the community where it is in.
