More and more people are forgetting the saying, "Pride comes before a fall." I remember only a few yearsago when things used to be so different. People used to be more modest and humble 1.
As I looked around at my schoolmate the other day, I realized how different things are. People are somuch more pretentious 2 nowadays. With their fancy clothes and stylish 3 hairdos, they appear too materialistic,which is not to my liking 4. I know modernization 5 is necessary for advancement 6. However, I hope we don't loseour traditional moral values along the way.
