很多习惯和传统行为方式和现代生活不再有关，不值得再坚持下去了。你同意还是不同意?

参考范文：

The customs and traditional ways of behavior are no longer relevant to the modern world. So it is not worth keeping them. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

When it comes to the issue about how to evaluate orthodox ways of behavior and customs, some people may argue that those should be abandoned in the current era, but I cannot agree with this opinion.

Admittedly, some obsolete concepts should not be maintained since such concepts may be harmful for human beings. In the past, when some people got diseases in some tribes, residents may not ask help from doctors; instead, they attempt to rescue patients through some rituals. Then, it is pitiful that some patients who could have been cured might pass away due to such stereotypes. Nevertheless, there still exist more merits acquired from old traditions.

Initially, traditions could be seen as a part of cultural heritage. In Chinese culture, it may take a lot of time for people to make and eat dumplings, but the public are still willing to do it on some festivals. Why? It is because dumplings not only originate from Chinese culture but also show its characteristics vividly. Thus, even in the modern world, traditions like having dumplings may still be kept because they are a witness of history and culture.

Furthermore, old customs should be valued by individuals since they could behave more properly. In the past, it is admirable for people to show their politeness to others, such as respecting others’ privacy or greeting others frequently. Even in the current era, if people realized the importance and necessity of civility, they would better communicate with others and enlarge their social network more easily. Thus, good manners in the past should not be disregarded for the public could still benefit from them.

In sum, old-fashion concepts and customs should be maintained, considering that they manifest uniqueness of old cultures and teach citizens to behave more appropriately.
