2006年12月英语六级作文真题:西方的节日

Now people in growing numbers are beginning to realize that they prefer enjoying western festivals,such as the coming X'mas.There is a general discussion today about this issue.Certainly,this is a delicious sign of diversity in the life. A lot of reasons are responsible for it.To begin with,the young men are exposed to the international minds or trends,and they are partly influenced.What's more,the western views have been spread widely,naturally,and culturally.Moreover,nowadays people have their rights to have a taste of various cultures.In other words,they may celebrate festivals they like besides the conventional days,like the Spring Festival. Obviously,this does some effects in our life.For example,it will arouse anxiety among so-called protectors of tradition.They unnecessarily worries that the western days are to replace the Chinese convention.Personally speaking,the policy of “let it be” will do more good that harm in this field.However,it is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent the negative effects of both traditional and western days.
