Some western (西方的) festivals like Christmas, April Fool’s Day and Valentine’s Day are becoming more and more popular in China. Some people say that we should keep away from them and just leave them there. Other people believe that we need to be open-minded (無偏見的) to the foreign (外國的) festivals and learn some western culture from them.

As I see, foreign festivals, such as Christmas, on the one hand, can bring happiness and joy to all of us; on the other hand, can offer (提供) a chance to the business. It is quite a good way for Chinese to know more about other countries. Some Chinese people also celebrate (慶祝) foreign festivals to enjoy something new and interesting to relax them in the modern city life.

While we have a lot of festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and so on, we should celebrate and protect them so that we can enjoy and learn traditional (傳統(tǒng)的) culture from them. As we all know, the government (政府) also cares more about the traditional festivals. People in China will have a day off when a traditional festival comes.

The world is getting smaller and smaller. We should pay more attention to (更關(guān)注) the traditional festivals to protect our culture. At the same time we can also celebrate the western festivals in order for cross-cultural (跨文化的) communication (交流).

Dear Li Ming,

How are you? Thank you for your letter.

Yours,

Li Hua.

What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hardwork, suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange (排列) the 26 English letters in order and use to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…… 26 for z, you can change an English word a number. So hardwork becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark. Knowledge: 11+ 14+ 15+ 23+ 12+ 5+ 4 + 7+ 5=96, love: 12+15+22+5=54, and : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can't, either.
Then what else? Don't be worried. You can always find an answer a problem in your life, when you change your way of at things or doing things, or your attitude(態(tài)度). Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark. Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and become towards others, you'll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards , you'll find it's also rewarding(有益的) though it has caused you losses(損失).
