Hey! I can try this.
It's very important in a community for the people to be good citizens. First of all, it creates social harmony, - everyone's there for each other and there to help. We all do our part, and keep the community happy and where everybody gets along. If people didn't get along and weren't good citizens, nobody would talk to each other and there would really be no community. In conclusion, a good community is based around good citizenship, and any community with good citizens is a good community.
Hope this helps!

This is called trench warfare!
The name comes from the trenches, that is the ditches that the soldiers built.

This warfare was typical in the First World War and it led to frequent stalemates: the trenches are easy to defend but hard to attack so for long periods of times the front remained stable.
