We should respect elder people because it is a kind of merit for thousands of years. Besides the elderly is indispensable part in society, and we should treat them kindly. To respect the elderly is supposed to be our teenagers’ obligation, We should always bear in mind that what we have and enjoy now was created by the aged peeple in the early days, as the old Chinese saying goes, "One generation plants tress under whose shade another generation rests".
I often give seats to the elderly on a crowded bus. when I wait for a bus or a subway train, I always let these elderly get in first. I always say”good morning, please, Excuse me and thank you”to them. In the street, when the elderly want to cross the street, I often help them.
It is our tradition to respect, love and support the elderly. Only in this way can we feel as if we were living in a big and happy family, then our society will develop.
