What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
--------
Nowadays, in modern society, everything changes quickly. But there are something that never chang. It is generally agreed that the important qualities of a good son or daughter are: show respect to their parents, make them proud of him or her and look after parents frequently. There are three of reasons why I would agree with that claim.

The first and foremost thing is the respectful attitude to parents because this is a basic lesson about how to become a person .To be a good child, you have to softly say with your parents. Even though, your parents could make something wrongly before, you still choose appropriate language in order to talk to them. If your parents do not concur with you about something, you should be quiet and listen to them.

Secondly, Parents always desire to see your success. Thus, a good son/daughter needs to try learning and hard working. And you must keep yourself healthy, obtain the good job and have well position in society. A good son/daughter has to make his/her parents be proud of him/her instead of being anxious about his/her.

Last but not least, a good son/ daughter should keep an eye on his/her parents, especially when his/her parents get older. As Vietnamese saying goes: when young one relies on one's father, when old on one's children. You also have to take care of your parents whenever they are ill or tired.

In conclusion, parents are a great gift of our lives. Thus, we should be respectful, loving and caring toward them. Also you should try to become a successful person in order to our parents always proud of us.

Dear vuthan,

Your essay is well-organized and coherent. However, I think if you amend it slighly, it's better.

The first tangible thing is that you used a lot of word " his/her". Instead of, you can diversify your vocabulary by quoting its synonyms. For example, it sounds better with offspring or descendant.

Another small error comes from your thesis statement. If you form the subtopic under verb phrases, don't use the word "qualities".

In addition, you should try to give some examples about your lifes. It'll be more persuasive and clearer.

Be well,
tangbinh
