Good morning, everyone. Yesterday I received a letter from a elderly gentleman. He told me the other day he see that some student in our school uniform crowded onto a bus without waiting their turns. On the bus they refuse to offer their seats for old people. What was worse, they even said dirty words to each other. I am very much sorry for this. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s old people. Respect the old and caring for the young is a fine tradition of our Chinese. Every one of us have the responsibility to keep it up. I hope that you can learn something from this incident and you will have good manners whether you are inside or outside the school. Thank you.
