　　参考范文

　　As is vividly betrayed in the drawing above, a gentleman and a lady are sitting calmly on the reserved seats for babies and their mothers while a mother holding a baby in her arm is standing beside the seats. The drawing exposes a common social phenomenon and is most thought-provoking.

　　The implied meaning of the drawing is worth discussing. To begin with, manners should be improved in public places. Some people lack the necessary public awareness so that they pay no attention to the rules and regulations designed for public places. As a result, they disturb the normal order of public places. What’s more, the traditional moral values should be enhances. It is well known that to respect the elderly and take care of the young is one of our traditional virtues in our country. At present, some people are so selfish that they even neglect our traditional virtues in public places, which does no good to the healthy development of our society. In one word, we should make a deep reflection on our own deeds.

　　In my view, necessary measures should be immediately taken so as to create an ideal living environment. On the one hand, an education campaign should be launched to inform people of the acceptable and civilized manners in public places. On the other hand, “eight honors and eight disgraces” advanced by Hu Jintao should be publicized so as to enhance our sense of traditional virtues. Only in this way can we live in a harmonious society.
