Respecting Our Parents

　　現(xiàn)在，很多學(xué)生對父母不是很尊敬，甚至和父母爭吵動手。針對這種現(xiàn)象，寫信給某報編輯，請?zhí)岢鲆恍┚唧w的建議，讓同學(xué)們樹立尊敬長輩的意識，發(fā)揚中華民族的傳統(tǒng)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.

　　Knowledge is Power (觀點闡釋型 ）

　　針對知識就是力量這句話，結(jié)合實例來談?wù)剬λ�的體會和感受。首先，寫出這句話的寓意，和啟示。然后，結(jié)合具體的事例，闡釋為什么知識就是力量。最后，我們作為青年人應(yīng)該怎么去實踐這句話。

　　There goes a famous proverb, “knowledge is power.” We can be informed a great deal from it. Without knowledge, by no means can we achieve our life goal. Knowledge is like the wind in the ocean, which helps us- the boats move swifter towards the right direction.

　　As is frequently heard, “knowledge can change one's fate.” My brother-in-law is an exact explanation for this sentence. He was born in a remote countryside in Sichuan, whose parents are both farmers. Via his great efforts, he was enrolled in Peking University and became an excellent doctor in a prestigious hospital after graduation. Whenever taking about his experience, he always tells us “knowledge did change his fate.”

　　Taking the above mentioned into consideration,I suppose it is a wise option to concentrate on study from now on. Believing the power of knowledge, we can create miracles not only for us but for our nation.
