Passage 1 I'm beginning to wonder whether my grandmother isn'tright when she complains, as she frequently does, that children nowadays aren'tas well-mannered as they used to be. Whenever she gets the opportunity, she describes in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters.She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out onher own, she was reminded to say "please" and "thank you".Children in her day, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, butthese days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children tomind their p's and q's. If you give her the chanceshe then takes out of her desk the old photograph album which she keeps there,and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures ofher parents you feel sure that, with a father as hard-looking as that, you,too, would have been "seen and not heard". Beside him sits his wife,with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occursto me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were very heavy to a little girl, that she hadn't enough breath left to talk, let alone bad. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age. That said, my childhood was much freer than Granny's. I went to school with my brother, and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common language and we got upto the same trouble. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear atight frock ( 女式礼服 ), and sew. 1.
