專四范文：
Respecting the Elderly Is a Traditional Chinese Virtue
尊敬老人是中華民族的傳統美德
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.
老人積累了一生中最寶貴的經驗，但是，許多年輕人現在經常認為老人與自己不相干，老人會使自己難堪，甚至與老人斷絕聯系。就我而言，尊敬老人的中華傳統美德應該予以重視。
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，老人應當受到尊重，因為他們養育了孩子，貢獻了社會。我們應該記住，我們現在擁有的和享受的一切都是老人在以前創造出來的。俗語有云，前人栽樹，后人乘涼。其次，家庭是學習價值觀念最好的課堂，所以每個家庭都應當啟發年輕的一代去尊重老人。因此，通過孝敬家里的老人來樹立榜樣，是很重要的，這樣孩子才能夠學會接受同樣的慣例。家庭應當特別注意一點，那就是讓家里的老人參與家庭活動和決定。這樣，家庭就能建立正確的價值觀念，年輕的家庭成員將會直接學會如何尊敬老人。或許社會中最重要的一項考試就是待人處事的方式。
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)
具體而言，就是社會如何對待老年人。如果年輕人不尊重老人，社會將會因為沒有尊重而混亂不堪。因此，我們所有人都應當尊敬老人。（244字）
