According to a survey, people are generally more rude today compared t0 20-30 years ago. To
solve this problem, parents should teach their children good manners and set good examples for them.
Good manners are very important in the communication of daily life. Everyone likes a person with good manners. If you are respectful of others, then you are more likely to be treated with respect by them. If you show good manners everywhere you go, then you are more likely to encourage others to behave in the same way towards you.
But what are good manners? Well, here are some common examples. A person with good manners never laughs at a person in trouble. Instead, he always tries to offer help to the person. When he takes a bus and sees an old man or a sick man, he always gives his seat to him. Also, he does not spit in public places.

Of those that took part in the survey, the majority believed that the lack of teaching, good manners by parents to their children was the biggest reason for this increase in rude behavior. Some of the other reasons include television shows and movies that show rude behavior and people leading busier lives than before.
So what types of behavior do people bclieve to be the most rude? The number one type of rudeness cited by those surveyed was other people using their cellphone in a loud or annoying manner in public.
How do we solve this problem? Teaching good manners and acceptable behavior has to start at home and early enough in a child's life for it to become a way of life.

第二节 读写任务(One possible version)
According to a survey, people are generally more rude today compared t0 20-30 years ago. To
solve this problem, parents should teach their children good manners and set good examples for them.
Good manners are very important in the communication of daily life. Everyone likes a person with good manners. If you are respectful of others, then you are more likely to be treated with respect by them. If you show good manners everywhere you go, then you are more likely to encourage others to behave in the same way towards you.
But what are good manners? Well, here are some common examples. A person with good manners never laughs at a person in trouble. Instead, he always tries to offer help to the person. When he takes a bus and sees an old man or a sick man, he always gives his seat to him. Also, he does not spit in public places.
