A service centre
Look at this service centre. How busy everybody is!
The man in the middle is mending shoes. At a counter on the right, a woman is showing an old man a towel and some soap. We see a girl at the door.  She is going to do housework for the family in the neighbourhood.
Two women are sewing by the window. One of them is making a shirt and the other is making a pair of trousers.
The workers at the service centre help their neighbours in many ways. They play an important part in people's life.
