解放军文职招聘考试英语四级作文参考1

 In the illustration above, ignoring the disgust from other passengers on the bus, a young couple not only fail to yield their seat to an old man who stands right beside them with a walking stick,

but also have the audacity to praise him for standing long hours. This drawing reveals that social morality of respecting the elders is confronting indifference of the young generation.

For thousands of years, it has been considered a social responsibility and behavioral norm to respect the elders in China. Unfortunately, the practice of this tradition is fading away due to the following two reasons. For one thing, those only children who are spoiled badly by their parents are too selfish and cold to care for others, let alone the strangers on a bus. For another, the erosion of foreign cultures represented by the America's so-called freedom and equality as well as the domestic social contradictions caused by the economic boom also results in the ignorance of the basic traditional Chinese etiquette. There is no doubt that traditional morality, as a national spirit, is a valuable contribution to social harmony and progress and thus should be promoted and developed in modern times.
