专四范文：
Respecting the Elderly Is a Traditional Chinese Virtue
尊敬老人是中华民族的传统美德
The elderly have accumulated a lifetime's worth of experience, however, many young people often regard them as irrelevant, embarrassing, and out of touch. As far as I am concerned, the traditional Chinese virtue to respect the old people needs to be emphasized.
老人积累了一生中最宝贵的经验，但是，许多年轻人现在经常认为老人与自己不相干，老人会使自己难堪，甚至与老人断绝联系。就我而言，尊敬老人的中华传统美德应该予以重视。
Firstly, the elderly deserve the respect due to their effort in bringing up their children and their contribution to society. We should always bear in mind that what we have and enjoy now was created by the aged people in the early days, as the old Chinese saying goes, "One generation plants trees under whose shade another generation rests," Secondly, family is one of the best places for learning values, so every family should inspire younger members to respect the older ones. It is important, therefore, to set an example at home by taking good care of the elderly members, so that children learn to adopt this same practice. Families should make a point of including and involving the older members in the family activities and decisions. In this way, families will exemplify the right values, and young members will learn first-hand on how to respect the elderly,
首先，老人应当受到尊重，因为他们养育了孩子，贡献了社会。我们应该记住，我们现在拥有的和享受的一切都是老人在以前创造出来的。俗语有云，前人栽树，后人乘凉。其次，家庭是学习价值观念最好的课堂，所以每个家庭都应当启发年轻的一代去尊重老人。因此，通过孝敬家里的老人来树立榜样，是很重要的，这样孩子才能够学会接受同样的惯例。家庭应当特别注意一点，那就是让家里的老人参与家庭活动和决定。这样，家庭就能建立正确的价值观念，年轻的家庭成员将会直接学会如何尊敬老人。或许社会中最重要的一项考试就是待人处事的方式。
Perhaps the most important test of a society is the way individuals behave towards one another. And specifically, how that society treats its elderly men and women. If young people do not respect the elderly, the whole society will be a mess without respect. Therefore, the elderly should be respected by all of us. (244 words)
具体而言，就是社会如何对待老年人。如果年轻人不尊重老人，社会将会因为没有尊重而混乱不堪。因此，我们所有人都应当尊敬老人。（244字）
