New standards of filial piety released by the Chinese government specifying 24 requirements for dutiful children have triggered a heated discussion. The new standards include spending holidays with parents, visiting them regularly, calling them once a week, and cooking for them. Should filial piety be regulated? What’s your opinion? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and then give your view on the issue.

Yes:
Putting forward the filial piety standards aims to promote the traditional Chinese virtue of respecting the elderly. China has a long history of valuing filial piety, which forms the core of family values. Compared with the traditional filial devotion, the new standards are up to date and relevant to the modern society. The new standards are an innovative way of inheriting the essence of filial piety in Chinese culture.
The modern society lays great stress on the force of law, while filial piety which depends on people’s moral sense and inner discipline seems unable to prevail. What we need now is a code of conduct to help persuade people to practice filial piety. These standards do not intend to force people to obey filial principles by law, but provide them with a guideline.
No:
As a moral requirement for human beings, filial piety is unlikely to have perfect standards. Real filial piety is not something to be shown off to others, but something buried deeply in one’s heart. Due to the different living and working environment, the ways of practicing filial piety may be different. It is unwise to require everyone to follow the same standards. Besides, the new standards are not feasible in modern days as many people live far away from their parents and have little time after work.
The implementation of these new filial standards is not the right solution to the problem of China’s aging population. As for the government, it is more effective to build up more state-run nursing homes rather than issue filial standards in order to solve the problem.

答案
Filial Piety Should not Be Regulated Filial piety, as a traditional Chinese virtue, has always been advocated by the public. But should it be regulated for people to carry out? Some people deem that it is an effective way to preach the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly in the new era. However, others hold that filial piety should be instilled into people rather than be regulated. Each individual has his own understanding of filial piety and may practice it in different ways. From my personal angle, filial piety, as the legacy of our traditional culture, should be inherited but not be regulated. We tend to have blind faith in the omnipotence of regulation. But most often, the greatest talkers are always the least doers. The sense of filial obedience is supposed to be inculcated in us. What is essential for us is to form good morality in our society. In addition, the government should also play an important role in providing health and retirement insurance for senior citizens. And the construction of communities for old people is conducive to the problem. On the whole, filial piety is an inseparable part of Chinese culture. It is our duty to pass it on to the next generation.
解析
本题讨论的是政府颁布的新版“二十四孝”规定是否应该实行。在具体行文方面,考生首先应概述正方观点:政府应该颁布此类行为准则来要求人们尽孝;随后概述反方观点:孝顺不应该被“规定”。接着给出自己的观点,并阐明理由。最后总结全文。
开头部分第一段引出话题,并总结材料中正反两方的观点。正方观点认为新规定有助于在新时期传播孝顺这一传统美德。随后用“However,others hold that…”总结反方观点:孝顺不应该被强行规定如何实行,每个人对孝道有不同的理解,所以人们会有不同的做法。
中间部分通过“From my personal angle…”引出自己的观点:孝顺父母是我们的优良传统,孝心应该是传承的,而不应该被强制规定。然后详细阐述理由:人们总是盲目地相信规定的作用,然而孝道是需要逐渐灌输的,我们需要做的是让社会形成良好的道德习惯。另外,政府应该为老年人提供医疗和养老保险,或者修建养老院,以解决老年人的问题。
结尾部分最后通过“On the whole…”重申孝顺在传统文化中的重要性,表明自己的立场,并总结全文。
