The initial letterof each is given.In recent years, there seems to be a rise in disrespectful behaviour displayedespecially by the

30、 younger generation. Peace and harmony will be instantlydisrupted the moment an individual is seen as discourteous in particulartowards the older generation. Due to this, parents, teachers, community leadersconstantly talk about respect to their children, students and residents. Thereare indeed many

31、 ways or alternatives(1) to inculcate respect. This passage willdiscuss three significant ones.First of all, a conducive learning environment is crucial in inculcating the valueof respect to children especially in our current(2) society where etiquette andrespect appear to be in decline(3). Adults a

32、re good role models for children intheir growing years. For example, if parents treat their elderly in a very rude(4)manner, there is a great likelihood that the children too will be disrespectful(5) totheir grandparents or they may ignore(6) their grandparents. And the reversecan be true too.Second

33、, being respectful is about being sincere in our actions and gestures(7).That means not only should we practice them in our everyday lives, but weshould also do so with conviction instead of out of sheer(8) obligation. AlbertEinstein once said “I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is theg

34、arbage man or the president of the university.” If we can be true and sincere tothe people we interact with, we will have treated them courteously(9).Third, the media(10) plays a crucial role in spreading(11) the message ofrespect. There seems to be a trend(12) in television where some sections(13)o

35、f programmes treat impoliteness or lax(14) attitudes about manners in a lightheartedway. If this is not addressed, the situation may get worse.In summary, respect is one important aspect of civility that we must embraceand practice so that we may remain humane. In addition, we should notcontinue to be ignorant(15) but take appropriate actions to stop this slide inmoral values.TranslationTranslate the following sentences into English, using the w
