In not more than 60 words, write on what should and should not be done by a citizen of a country in order to make progress.

It's not clear what kind of progress you mean - social
progress? Personal progress?  National?  I'll assume you mean social.  The previous post
is right in that 60 words is hardly going to do it.  But since you have a focused
assignment that requires it, you'll want to choose your topics
wisely.

I would focus on the
following:

1) Service - giving
back to the community or the country in a tangible way, at no
charge

2) Activism - not only
voting, but holding elected officials accountable, and reminding them when they go
astray or need to make a change for a cause or issue

3) 
Education - That is, pursue your own so you can be
informed, and educate your children and your community, so that they can follow your
example.
