考研英语大作文练习：提高个人修养Shaping the Morality
According to a survey， more than two thirds of people in China agree that， the public moral level is lower than before. This figure， although hard to accept， has indicated the fact that the nation’s overall morality is declining. If you pay some attention， you could easily point out some improper behaviors happening around: young men refusing to give seats to the old on buses; shoppers jamming into queue instead of waiting in line; crude riders neglecting red lights， etc. So what the hell is going on？
As analysts have figured out， this trend of degradation mainly originated from faulty education. For decades， Chinese schools simply infuse bookish knowledge to their students， whilst moral cultivation becomes a kind of formalism; on the other hand， children are naturally influenced by their family and other adults in the society， most of whom are too sophisticated to be considered as eligible moral models.
Facing such disappointing condition， you may ask: how can things become better？ As far as I am concerned， we must following these three steps. First of all: self-shaping. We should manage ourselves well， and try to shape our own morality as perfect as possible. The second step: family-shaping， which is to behave as the model for your children and improve their moral status through strict discipline. The third: organization-shaping. If you are leading people， such as being a manager or national president， you could reinforce your whole organization’s moral situation with policy and your own action. Even if you’re no leader， you’ll have a positive impact on the society if only you manage yourself well and try to influence others as much as possible.
