圣诞节是否放假 英文辩论材料.doc

反方：we shouldnt give holidays for ChristmasPoint 1: In view of religions, we shouldnt give holidays for Christmas.Reason 1: Christmas is a famous festival for Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus in western countries. However, in China, we have Christians as a very small part of the population, most people believe in Buddhism and some believe in Islam zlm. Plus, we have no tradition to give festivals celebrated for religions in china. Reason 2: Christmas is mostly celebrated by young people, many of them have no idea about the meaning of Christmas, they take it just for fun. Do you think holidays is reasonable for an unknown festival? Point 2: As Chinese, we should celebrate and cherish our own traditional festivals. Reason 1: Great cultural strength is more important for a countrys development and rejuvenation r,dvnen, it helps to get respect and make an efficient fnt communication in the world. Reason 2: Many young people even dont know exact meanings of our traditional festivals, such as Spring festival, Dragon Boat Festival(端午节), mid-autumn day（中秋节）, Tomb Sweeping Day（清明节）, National Day（国庆节），the double ninth festival（重阳节）and so on. First we should figure out our own culture and then pass them to next generation well. At last, could I ask you a question: Do you want your children to remember your familys list of generations or your neighbours? Point 3: We need to keep alert to cultural kltrl assimilation ,smlen. Reason: Cultural assimilation(文化同化) is the most important strategy strtdi for colonists to klnst get control of another colony permanently and stably. However, we have more peace in the world than that in the old days, cultural assimilation has never stopped and gets much more intense in an obscure way. Young men should realize it and distinguish whether its culture communication or cultural assimilation. 正方:1. communication with the world, Cultural exchange, Globalization.Cons: I dont think your opinions make sense to ask holidays for Christmas. 观点中心句：Regardless of whether cultural communication or globalization, we should to inherit and cherish our traditional culture and make it more prosperous prsprs. At the same time, we should be alert to cultural assimilation in any form, especially in today with peace and globalization cover. Reason 1: Great cultural strength is more important for a countrys development and rejuvenation r,dvnen, it helps to get respect and make an efficient fnt communication in the world. Reasons 2: Its not hard to learn from the human history that cultural assimilation(文化同化) is the most important strategy for every colonist klnst to get control of another colony permanently and stably. We should keep our mind alert, cultural assimilation has never stopped and gets much more intense in this surrounding. As Chinese strategist strtdst Sun Tzu said, “Know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every war.” So I want to ask : how many of you know the origins of our traditional festivals? What the human culture and natural culture do they have? Plus, we still have many other ways to communicate, for instance, cooperation in big projects, commercial trade, cultural exchange by sending communicators and students to study abroad. Further more, however in the USA, no holidays are given to celebrate Chinese spring festival or other countries festivals, no one can ignore its important role in the globalization. Conclusion: From all I said, cant you see that holidays for Christmas is less important for culture communication and globalization? 2. attract more foreigners and stimulate our economic development.中心句：To attract more foreigners, having holidays for Christmas isnt a good idea. Christmas has less influence in our economic development than our own festivals or activities. If we want to have more foreigners to visit China and get a big economic development, we should inherit and develop our own traditional culture and improve our technologies in many fields. Reason 1: Think about it, let assume you have something beautiful, your friend like it too, then he made a copy, one day, he wants to show you his collections, which do you prefer to seeing , the copy one or something you dont have or never see? Reason2: To some extent, Christmas will stimulate our economic development, but its effect cant compare with double 11 or 12 has. Even though we werent given holidays for them, we contributed significantly to boom our economy. Further more, since Christmas is celebrated mostly by young people, less people will decorate their houses, less things will be consumed than our traditional festivals . Conclusion: In light of these above, do you think holidays are necessary for Christmas? 3. Holidays: get relax, release pressure; gifts: families and friends, good relationships.Cons: Shorts holidays for Christmas cant get off the pressure of life. Gifts can be bought for friends in any time and any festivals we have. So the excuses for asking holidays do not hold water. Reason1: If you need to have days off for relax, there are several different ways you can take. Its truly that everyone is dying to have holidays. Pressure from fierce frs competition of life will drive us crazy. However, shorts holidays cant resolve this tough problem, the similar as a dying plant in a dry place cant be rejuvenated rduvnet with a drop of water. If you really need to have a rest, you should ask your boss to have days off, if it doesnt work, youd better to arrange your work to save time for rest. Its really no need to ask a holiday for the western festival. If you do so, it sounds with no sense. Reason2: you can find much other best time to buy gifts for the person you loved. yeah, receiving gifts sounds great! If you sincerely snsrli buy presents for your friends and families, Ill give you some better ideas: first, we have New Years, you cant find any best time like it to give presents to the people you loved. Im for sure they will happy and appreciate it. Another best day for giving gifts is their birthday. Secondly, I do believe youll have thousands of reasons to buy someone a present if you want. You mustnt doubt about a boys excuse to buy a rose for his lover everyday. Further more, we still have Mid-Antumn day, on such beautiful day, you can enjoin your time with your families besides sharing the presents. Summary To summarize the reasons for our standpoint that we shouldnt give holidays for Christmas as follows: firstly, from the view of religion, most people in China are believe in Buddhism, just a quite small part of the population are Christians, plus we have no tradition to give festival for any religions. Secondly, we should inherit and cherish our own festivals rather than following behind the western countries and take their things as gold. For we have many our own traditional festivals with profound cultural influence. The last but not the least, as Chinese young people, the hope of our country, we should be alert to cultural assimilation in any form, and distinguish culture
