Hello,everybody.Now I need some help from you.In my city,there are many old people and they usually go out by bus.But you know,bus is always very crowded so the old usually have no seats to sit.Everyone time when I on the bus and have a seat,I will leave my seat for the old,but many young people don't do it like me.I think I should tell them that they leave their seat for the old but I don't know how to express.So can you help me tell them what they should do?Thank you very much.

Don't be worry about it .I think the old can go out by bus,which show that they have enough energy to stand in the bus.Sometimes,I wear a high-heel-shoes,I feel very tired so,I want to sit down even if an old man srand around me.So,don't worry.

After one hour's thinking,I think you can express like this:Excuse me,haven't you see this old man?I think you are a very good citizen,donn't you?Yes,I think you will give me this answer.This is my suggestion,you can take a try.Maybe it can make a good effect.

You know I think a better way to go around this is maybe for you to write to the head office of the bus company and suggest that they put signs up saying that young people should give up their seats for older people...we have signs up in some trams here...I think if you tart saying things you might set yourself up for negative treatment..I guess other than that just lead by example...You have a nice compassionate soul..good on you ...
i dont think you can do that..i guess young people now a days different are from yesterday..seldom you meet young people who is kind and really offer his seat to the elders..

You can do is urge them and say to leave a place for the old or do one thing just wear a shirt which reads "Respect the Old, Give a seat to the old".Atleast few will respond to this and this may continue.I really appreciate you on the good job you are doing.
