Ⅵ. Some students say many of us are the only child in our family. We are not able to do hard work. To clean the toilet is good to teach us how to do difficult jobs. By cleaning the toilets, we’ll learn to understand the cleaning workers.
   On the other hand, some students think toilets are very dirty. It’s easy for us to get sick. They don’t think it’s the students’ job. We have more important things to do. Cleaning the classroom is enough.
   We hope the school will think about this problem.
