現在，很多學生對父母不是很尊敬，甚至和父母爭吵動手。針對這種現象，寫信給某報編輯，請提出一些具體的建議，讓同學們樹立尊敬長輩的意識，發揚中華民族的傳統美德。
Dear editor,
Nowadays, there exists an increasingly severe phenomenon that teenagers don’t show respect to their parents. As we can read in newspaper or watch in TV, some teenagers quarrel with parents, some talk back and some even resort to violence. As to this problem, I’d like to advance several proposals as follows.
Initially, we should realize that it’s our parents who give us lives. Without parents, we can not live in this world. Therefore, the importance of respecting our parents can not be overemphasized. What’s more, it goes without saying that we have to remember the birth day of our parents, when we can express our gratitude to them. None the less, respecting our parents should be done from every detail. Just as a proverb goes, “piety is above all.” (百善孝為先)
To sum up, respecting parents is our traditional virtue in China. No matter how old we are, it’s a priority to respect our parents.
