Explanation
Every worker has a job, a place to work and tools. A builder works on a building site and uses a hammer. A nurse works in a hospital and uses a stethoscope to listen to hearts. A teacher works in a school and uses books and a board. A cook works in a kitchen and uses a frying pan. A farmer works in a field and uses a tractor. Workers do their jobs so that we can live well. We must say thank you to them.
