Question

  We should show respect to everybody,especially our elders because they are ahead of us—in age,in wisdom and maturity,in experience and education. Our 1       have done a lot for us,directly or indirectly and most of us 2        everything to their kindness and love.

  When we 3        them respect,whether it is by bowing to them,or 4       them with a smile,or offer?ing them any help they need,it is one way of 5       our own love and gratitude to them. 6      ,elders have al?so been through all the years you are 7        and know a little more about the world than you do.

  It is 8        that you do not agree with the belief of your elders,but this is nothing new. All younger gen?erations have always 9        with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 10       . However much you disagree with them,give them re?spect for their 11       .

  With changing times and 12        influences,youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disre?spect to elders. Youngsters should 13        express their views and if there are arguments,they should not 14        their voices.

  If there is no space on sofas or chairs,children will immediately 15        their places,and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains,youngsters are 16        to give up their places to elder people. This is not a 17       of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 18       ,or tolerate unpleasantness,so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 19       disadvantage.

  When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 20        that youngsters care for them, .and they respond with affection and kindness.
