Respecting Our Parents尊重我们的父母

　　现在，很多学生对父母不是很尊敬，甚至和父母争吵动手。针对这种现象，写信给某报编辑，请提出一些具体的建议，让同学们树立尊敬长辈的意识，发扬中华民族的传统美德。

　　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.” (百善孝为先)

　　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.

　　亲爱的编辑，

　　现在，青少年不尊重父母的现象越来越严重。正如我们可以在报纸上读到或在电视上看，一些青少年与父母吵架，一些人说，有的人甚至诉诸暴力。对于这个问题，我想提出以下几点建议。

　　起初，我们应该意识到，这是我们的父母给我们的生活。没有父母，我们就不能活在这个世界上。因此，尊重我们的父母的重要性无论如何强调都不为过。更不用说，我们必须记住我们的父母的诞生日，当我们可以表达我们对他们的感激之情。没有少，我们的父母应该做的每一个细节。正如一句谚语所说，“孝道是最重要的。”（百善孝为先）

　　总之，尊重父母是中国的传统美德。不管我们多大年纪，都要尊重我们的父母。
