chinese people look on spring festival as the most important one. and its also my favourite, and i really enjoyed it when i was a child. there are several reasons why spring festival is my favourite. first, during it, i could have plenty of delicious food to eat and enjoy a very long holiday, setting off fireworks, getting together and visiting relatives and friends. besides, i could wear beautiful clothes. and what is more important is that i would receive a lot of pocket money. so, every year, i hoped spring festival would come soon. now i have grown up. although i can have delicious food and wear my favourite clothes every day , spring festival is still as important to me as it was before. .as society develops, many people in china, especially young people, celebrate more and more foreign festivals instead of our traditional festivals. they believe it is cool or fashionable. at the same time, they consider celebrating chinas festivals as out-dated. i dont think this is good for younger generations or for our country. firstly, traditional festivals are an important part of chinas cultural heritage. they are unique and are precious treasures from our ancestors. if we dont keep them, we will lose our own cultural characteristics. secondly, our traditional festivals are, in fact, just as cool as a lot of foreign festivals. as our country becomes stronger, the world will learn much more about our culture and our festivals, just like our language becomes more and more popular in other countries. in conclusion, i think its all right to receive some foreign cultures, but we should not ignore our own traditional festivals. we should learn more about them. as the beijing olympics approaches, we can introduce our festivals to our foreign friends!实战演练据报道，圣诞节这个原本是西方的传统节日在中国愈来愈受到青睐。为此，已有学者发出倡议，号召国人慎对圣诞，抵制西方文化扩张。请以“do we need to fear the popularity of christmas ”为题，用英语写一篇120词左右的短文，要点如下：1. 圣诞节已经成为年轻人推崇的时尚。2. 中国的传统节日渐渐淡出年轻人的生活。3.

festivals, for if we let our traditions disappear, there will be a cultural gap, which western values may fill.李明在给美国朋友bob回信介绍了中国的春节后,又想了解西方除了圣诞节还有什么节日备受欢迎,于是向bob询问他最喜欢什么节日。假如你是bob,请你给李明写一封120词左右的回信,向他介绍西方的万圣节(halloween)。回信要包括以下要点:1. 万圣节的时间(10月31日)；2.
