Question

We’re all nice to our friends and family members. When they are in need, we help them. If they ask for something, we give it to them.

We should also be kind and polite to strangers. How can we do that? It’s easy. If a man drops something, pick it up for him. If a woman is carrying a bag with both hands, open the door for her. When people want to cross the street, stop your bicycle, motorcycle, or car and let them cross.

In many big cities, people on the street are rude to each other. They walk around with serious expressions on their faces. Car drivers don’t stop for people crossing the street.

All of these things affect the quality of life in our cities. We need to try harder to treat each other better, like part of a big community. That way, big cities can be like big neighborhoods, with people treating each other like friends and neighbors.

If we can be kind to just a few more people a day, more and more people will be nice to each other. Our cities and towns will be better places. Then everyone will be like one big family.
