My Favourite Festival
There are a lot of festivals in China, of Which Chinese people look on Spring Festival as the most important one. And it's 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 China’s festivals as out-dated. I don’t think this is good for younger generations or for our country. Firstly, traditional festivals are an important part of China’s cultural heritage. They are unique and are precious treasures from our ancestors. If we don’t 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 it’s 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!

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。
中国的传统节日渐渐淡出年轻人的生活。
你认为对待西方文化应该持有的态度。
参考词汇：文化扩张 cultural expansion
Do we need to Fear the Popularity of Christmas?
Nowadays Christmas Day is becoming more and more popular with Chinese youngsters. They celebrate and enjoy it in various ways. Meanwhile they don’t know and don’t care much about the traditional Chinese festivals. Some people are worrying that the increasing popularity of Christmas might take people’s attention from traditional festivals in China.
As far as I’m concerned, there is no need to have fears over culture expansion. Youngsters are interested in new things, but it doesn’t mean they are turning their backs on Chinese traditional culture.
However, we should stay cool while celebrating western festivals. We should bear in mind the cultural valve of celebrating our own traditional festivals, for if we let our traditions disappear, there will be a cultural gap, which western values may fill.
