across the chinese landscape, politeness is a desirable quality we have upheld for thousands of years. to some extent, good manners far outweigh other moral qualities. for any college student, who has an access to higher education, showing regard for others in manners, speech, behavior is so important that others can judge his/her moral character by it.
college students are supposed to express respect in words, by manner, by act. however, some of them fail to achieve it, which is a growing problem in this ancient land. some students are to blame for their impolite and rude attitude toward others. many children have the misfortune to be born in a disadvantageous atmosphere of developing polite habits. they should feel the pressing need to remedy these defects and learn to practice the courteous habits. in my eyes, it is a great mistake to think of courtesy as a kind of veneer or ornament rather than as a serious and practical thing. so we must act and speak politel.
