The Double Ninth Festival is a2 day for old people in China. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show3 and respect (尊敬) for their grandparents.
Respecting old people is a tradition in China. There are many ways for Chinese people to4 their respect. When an old person enters a room, everyone should stand up. Also, people are introduced from the5 to the youngest. When we give something to an old person, two hands are used. The old usually don't have to buy tickets for buses and young people always6 their seats to old people on a crowded subway or bus.
However, in western countries, old people have7 lifestyles from those in China. They don't often live with their children—they live8 . They don't want to get help from9 . They even don't want to be offered seats by others.
Westerners still respect old people. For holidays, families usually10 at the grandparents homes. A great smile and a warm hug are enough for grown children to show their respect.
