Question

如题所述

Answer 1

Nowadays, western festivals are popular in china, especially among teenagers who are interested in fresh things. That western festivals are more and more popular arouses hot discussion.

Some people take it for granted that this kind of phenomena is not good. It can bring much bad effects which we can not realize. They think we, as teenagers, are curious about western festivals and prefer spending time and money celebrating these foreign festivals rather than chinese traditional festivals. If we all focused on western festivals and ignored chinese festivals, our traditional festivals would not be developed further. However, there are some people holding that celebrating western festivals is beneficial to cultural communication. Not only can it enrich the life of our people, but also it can help us learn more about the world. Besides, when people celebrate western festivals, we can make comparisons between western and chinese festivals. By this way, traditional festivals may be developed into multilateral festivals which can attract more people.
As far as I am concerned, celebrating western festivals may be good, which can contribute to cultural communication and expand our horizons. But we can not despise chinese traditional festivals. We all know that Chinese festivals are the crystallization of Chinese culture. As a Chinese, should we drop our own culture? So, we need pay attention to our festivals. At the same time, we can celebrate western festivals to improve our styles.

--------------------

No one can have failed to notice the fact that Western festivals gain ever-increasing popularity in China. An increasing number of Chinese are fond of celebrating Western festivals today. On Valentine’s Day, many people, especially the young, give flowers or chocolate to the one they love; when Christmas approaches, nearly every store put on decorations like Santa Claus, snowflakes and even Christmas trees, not to mention the millions of people immersed in the thrilling atmosphere of festival on Christmas Eve; even such holidays as Halloween and the Easter Day are becoming known and celebrated by more and more Chinese. In comparison, such traditional Chinese festivals as the Spring Festival, the Festival of Lanterns and the Mid-Autumn Day seem to be losing their attraction.
　　In view of such a situation, many are worried that Chinese culture will be ignored or even ruined by the invasion of Western festivals. Personally, I believe that we needn’t be over worried. Actually, the increasing popularity of some Western festivals in China is nothing accidental, but some thing justifiable.
　　First, it is a part of cultural globalization. With the development of communication science and technology and along with more and more nations opening up to the outside world, the world today has turned into a global village, with many national things becoming international. China is no exception. While we are absorbing advanced science and technology from foreign countries, we are also taking in different cultures.
　　Secondly, it is a sign of China’s rejuvenating. As a nation boasting a civilization of 5,000 years, Chinese have been known for their spirit of accommodation or open-mindedness. China used to be a melting pot of cultures as the U.S. is today. In the prosperous Tang dynasty, China was host to travelers and settlers from over the world. Actually, being accommodating is a sign of any thriving nation. Therefore, we should be pleased rather than upset to see Chinese people embracing foreign festivals.
　　It is true that some traditional Chinese festivals are losing their appeal to many people, but this does not necessarily the ruin of Chinese culture. Actually, a closer inspection reveals that most Chinese celebrate Western festivals merely out of the wish to seek novelty, to find a new way to entertain themselves or to express their identity in the face of the older generation. On the other hand, most Chinese have not ignored their native festivals. A convincing proof is that the Spring Festival still sees the largest flow of population in the world as most Chinese rush to their homes for family reunion.
　　In a word, while we are giving priority to the preservation and development of traditional Chinese culture, we needn’t worry too much about the inflow of foreign culture.

生活中有许多令人感动的事，它们像一颗颗海底的珍珠，藏在我们的心中。今天，我就挑选一颗最闪亮的珍珠给你们瞧瞧吧！
这是几周前的一个早上，因为前一天我和一位同学发生了矛盾，因此心里不太开心。我迈着沉重的步伐走进了教室，却发现大家都用一种诡异的眼光注视着我。我心里慌，于是询问了一位好友。当我知道真相时气坏了，因为昨日我处于气愤，把所有与争执有关的事告诉了问我作业的龚原，没想他却把这件事说出去了！这可是大秘密呀！我顿时火冒三丈，想也不想，一口气冲到正在宣传的龚原身边，大喊了一声：“讨厌！你这个可恶的大嘴巴！”说完，便气呼呼地走了。班里的同学都不说话了，龚原呆呆地伫在那里，一动也不动……
我再也不理他了！我心里一直这样重复着！下了早读，我一个人坐在座位上生气。哼！太不讲信用了！我越想越气，一下子哭了。“喂，你过来一下！”我仰头一看，哼，你还有脸来见我！没错。正是龚原，他正笑嘻嘻地看着我。但在我心中，简直是黄鼠狼给鸡拜年！“你可不可以出来一下？”他平和地说。我本想说不，但又想：看他有什么花招，我出去瞧瞧，反正他有不吃了我！于是，我起身和他走出了教室。他把我带到走廊的一边，这儿人不多。我紧张起来了，他想和我打架吗？遭了……只见龚原笑着从口袋里掏出一个折了几次的小纸团，样子神秘兮兮的。“说好了，要等我走了才能看，一定哟！”他小心翼翼地把纸团给了我，我刚一接过来，他就飞快地闪了。他有什么阴谋？里面是不是画了一只老鼠呢？还是一封恐吓信……我双手发抖，慢慢打开了纸团。每打开一层，我的心就狂跳一下。终于打开了，我一看，傻了眼。天呀！上面写了大约800多个“对不起”，每一个书写都那么工整，密密麻麻地布满了整张纸。我的泪水又涌上来了，不过它是快乐的。
后来，我给了龚原一个写满了“没关系”的纸团，他笑了笑，仿佛在说：“你终于原谅我了！”我也笑了笑。
这件事真使我感动。虽然我与龚原没有太多对话，但是友谊的天使在我们之间搭起了桥梁，使矛盾解开了。我会永远保存好这珍贵的友谊，毕竟它是比珍珠更美的东西。
直到今天，我想这件事，仍然深受感动，一股热流温暖了我全身……本回答被网友采纳
