Give

Yesterday I have just read an article against giving seats to the old . According to the author, young people have to support the family and bear more pressure,so they are in more need of seats to relax on.What's more,it is harsh to require them to stand while exhausted after the whole day's hard work .Besides,people who are ready to give their seats are always thought to want to get praised by others.Above all,the author believed young people shouldn't be encouraged to give seats to the old .
It sounds quite resonable.But suppose you are old ,how will you feel when nobody wanna give you a seat?Now that young people who are stronger than the old feel too tired to stand,how about the old?They can be too weaker to bear the swing of the bus and need the seats more.As for me,I'll get the old to take my seat.In my view,standing is an anneal for me to strengthen myself.Plenty of modern young people are lazy to work out in gyms or even walk instead of getting on bus or MRT.
The weak old people standing on the bus or MRT make me feel sad.The phenomena results from self-concern and inhospitality.I wonder how can the selfish people pretend to sleep while an old person is beside them? I believe giving brings happiness to the people who get help as well as whoever lends a hand to others.More importantly,giving will fill the world up with love if everyone is eager to give help.Let's begin with giving seats to the old,which is small ,though.Of course,it needs both the goverment and all the people to participate in.How about you?Do you will join us to make a contribution?What can we do to give help?

  1. In your article, an author said that young people shouldn’t give seats to the old. You object. And so do I. Because I think it is not a problem who are more tired but a moral problem. Wherever it is, showing respect to the old is something that should be done. Apart from the reason you give in the article, I would like to show another one. When the old were young, they also suffered from the pressure to bear the family, and so on. In the end, I want to say that we should give up our seats to the old. And I hope everyone who sees this article will make a difference to the society.

  2. It is understandable that people feel tired and want to get a seat on the bus or MRT after a whole day’s hard work. But we should still think more about the old and mums with little kids. We keep standing the whole journey if there is no seat available when we got on the bus, and it does not make us feel much more tired by doing so. However it does make them feel much more comfortable and happier if an old man or a pregnant woman can have a seat. And next time when an old man stand beside us just regard him as our grandpa or relative then we will immediately know what to do.
