Question

【题目】An old man went to live with his son, daughterinlaw, and fouryearold grandson. The family ate together at the table, but his shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughterinlaw became angry with the mess. So they set a small table in the corner. There Grandfather ate alone while they enjoyed dinner.

Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The grandson watched silently. One evening, the father noticed the son playing with wood scraps(碎块) and asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy responded, “Oh, I am making a bowl for you and Mum to eat your food in when I grow up.”

The words struck the parents so hard that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. The son gently led Grandfather back to their table. From then on, he ate every meal with them. Neither of them seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Answer 1

【答案】The story tells us that the grandfather was treated badly by his son and daughterinlaw and the change of the couple’s attitudes after they saw their son was preparing bowls for them.

As for me, I always showed my respect and love to the old, my grandparents in particular. When I was young, I brought my questions to them for help often, which made them busy but happy. I formed a habit to take a walk with them after dinner, talking about my study, ambitions and their rich experience.

In my opinion, we should treat the old people just like what we want to be treated when we are old. Honor and respect should be given to them by their relatives and the whole society, because they are in poor health, bad mental conditions, and can’t manage everything by themselves. Besides, they’ve already contributed a lot to their family and society and they deserve love from us all.
