Respecting Our Parents 尊重我们的父母
现在，很多学生对父母不是很尊敬，甚至和父母争吵动手。针对这种现象，写信给某报编辑，请提出一些具体的建议，让同学们树立尊敬长辈的意识，发扬中华民族的传统美德。
Dear editor,
Nowadays, there exists an increasingly severe phenomenon that teenagers don't show respect to their parents. As we can read in newspaper or watch in TV, some teenagers quarrel with parents, some talk back and some even resort to violence. As to this problem, I'd like to advance several proposals as follows.
Initially, we should realize that it's our parents who give us lives. Without parents, we can not live in this world. Therefore, the importance of respecting our parents can not be overemphasized. What's more, it goes without saying that we have to remember the birth day of our parents, when we can express our gratitude to them. None the less, respecting our parents should be done from every detail. Just as a proverb goes, "piety is above all." (百善孝为先)
To sum up, respecting parents is our traditional virtue in China. No matter how old we are, it's a priority to respect our parents.
亲爱的编辑，
现在，青少年不尊重父母的现象越来越严重。正如我们可以在报纸上读到或在电视上看，一些青少年与父母吵架，一些人说，有的人甚至诉诸暴力。对于这个问题，我想提出以下几点建议。
起初，我们应该意识到，这是我们的父母给我们的生活。没有父母，我们就不能活在这个世界上。因此，尊重我们的父母的重要性无论如何强调都不为过。更不用说，我们必须记住我们的父母的诞生日，当我们可以表达我们对他们的感激之情。没有少，我们的父母应该做的每一个细节。正如一句谚语所说，"孝道是最重要的。"（百善孝为先）
总之，尊重父母是中国的传统美德。不管我们多大年纪，都要尊重我们的父母。
Knowledge is Power (观点阐释型 ）
针对知识就是力量这句话，结合实例来谈谈对它的体会和感受。首先，写出这句话的寓意，和启示。然后，结合具体的事例，阐释为什么知识就是力量。最后，我们作为青年人应该怎么去实践这句话。
There goes a famous proverb, "knowledge is power." We can be informed a great deal from it. Without knowledge, by no means can we achieve our life goal. Knowledge is like the wind in the ocean, which helps us- the boats move swifter towards the right direction.
As is frequently heard, "knowledge can change one's fate." My brother-in-law is an exact explanation for this sentence. He was born in a remote countryside in Sichuan, whose parents are both farmers. Via his great efforts, he was enrolled in Peking University and became an excellent doctor in a prestigious hospital after graduation. Whenever taking about his experience, he always tells us "knowledge did change his fate."
Taking the above mentioned into consideration,I suppose it is a wise option to concentrate on study from now on. Believing the power of knowledge, we can create miracles not only for us but for our nation.
有一句名言："知识就是力量"，我们可以从中得到大量的信息。没有知识，就不可能实现我们的人生目标。知识就像海洋中的风，这有助于我们的船朝着正确的方向移动的更快。
正如经常听到的，"知识可以改变命运"，我的姐夫是对这句话的一个准确的解释。他出生在四川的一个偏远的农村，父母都是农民。通过他巨大的努力，他在北京大学就读，毕业后成为一个著名的医院里的一名优秀的医生。每当谈到他的经验，他总是告诉我们"知识改变了他的命运。"
考虑到上面提到的，我认为现在是一个明智的选择集中于从现在开始学习。相信知识的力量，我们不仅可以为我们创造奇迹，也可以为我们的国家创造奇迹。
