是否应该庆祝外国节日的英语作文

篇一：对西方节日的看法英语作文

Should We Celebrate Western Festivals Nowadays，western festivals become more and more popular in China, especially among us college students. But whether we should celebrate these festivals has aroused a heated discussion.

Some regard it a precious opportunity for the Chinese to learn more about western cultures. On the other hand, more and more Chinese people view it oppositely. Since more and more young people have lost their interest in our traditional festivals, such as Mid-autumn Festival, Dragon-boat Festival, and even Spring Festival. They seem to be more willing to celebrate Christmas.

In my opinion, every coin has two sides. Since the globalization is

impossible to avoid this mix of cultures and traditions. We should preserve the traditional Chinese culture as well as welcome Western ones. We students undertake the responsibility to carry on our traditions, therefore, we have to respect them and cherish them.

17. in the circumstances of globalization

Modal

In the course of globalization, western culture has flooded into China at an almost non-stop rate. Along with it come western festivals, the most influential of which is Christmas. As a result of this “culture invasion”, more and more Chinese people, particularly the youth, are abandoning traditional Chinese festivals. There is even a prediction that the Spring Festival will ultimately be replaced by Christmas. However, personally I’m not in favor of this statement, as the Spring Festival is a kind of cultural heritage serving as a spiritual legacy for all of us to cling to, regardless of any hindrance.

First of all, observing Christmas does not mean that the Spring Festival can be neglected. The Spring Festival has its roots in Chinese history, from which it requires its identity and meaning irreplaceable by Christmas. As Christmas stemmed from Western civilization, it can’t easily fit in

with Chinese society, let alone take the place of the Spring Festival.

Secondly, the Spring Festival expresses our true emotions while Christmas cannot. Often, the Spring Festival arouses a feeling of eternal harmony, creates a sense of happiness, and conveys a message of family. However, Christmas goes no further than one night’s pleasure or some fancy presents, which is surely to fade away with passing tide of time and memory.

The Spring Festival is not going to lose its vigor to Christmas, as it’s just like a warm beacon for all the Chinese to gather around to cheer, to dream and to carry on. 春节作文

《春节的街头》

今天，是中国传统节日——春节。早晨我还没醒，就听到了鞭炮的声音。平静的社区，今日显得热闹非凡。这热闹的喧嚣，把我的睡意一股脑的全都打撒开来。于是，起床穿上了新衣服连早饭都来不及吃就冲到门外，看着各家各户的炮竹，烟花。接着就是跟爸爸妈妈一起去走街串巷——拜年！

“李伯伯，新年快乐”“王阿姨，工作顺了”“刘奶奶，身体健康”〃〃〃跟所有的长辈们拜过年之后，妈妈提议说：一会，去街上看看，感受下新年的气氛。 一上街，街上可就更热闹了。人们手里有提着大袋大袋的菜，身边的孩子手上握着一大把小花炮，蹦蹦跳跳地跑着。看！我左边的一位四、五岁左右的小女孩，跑到前面去。一下子又转过头对一位满手是鼓鼓的袋子的大人喊着：“爸爸，快点！我要回去放炮玩呢！”。有拿着那边超市发的小气球的，红的，黄的，绿的，还有蓝的。也有三五成群，手挽着手说说笑笑的姑娘们，小伙子们，忙绿了一年，辛苦了一年，我想这个时候应该是大家最放松，最高兴的时候。你看，路灯上还挂着两个小红灯，喜气洋洋的。就像在说，“我们也要过新年，我们也要过新年”。

一进菜市场，那才更热闹呢！人流窜动，一眼望去，什么也看不见，全是人。还有那翠绿的黄瓜，可真新鲜哪，你看，那金黄色的小花在太阳的照射下显得多么的生机勃勃啊。那鲫鱼，鲢鱼，青鱼，草鱼等等在水里游来游去，真是印证了我们中国的老话：年年有鱼（余）！黄的韭菜，红的番茄，黑的木耳，白的萝卜〃〃〃真是要什么有什么呀。“哎哟！可真够挤的。”我嘀咕了一句。跟着妈妈买了几个我爱吃的菜，结完帐就走出了菜场。超市里的收银台前也早已排起了长龙。 傍晚时分，街上，又渐渐安静下来。店主们把店子关了，超市也比往常早了些许关门。大家都提着东西回家过年去了。

到了晚上6点左右，社区渐渐安静，孩子们都回家吃团圆饭去了。吃完团圆饭7、8点的样子社区又重新热闹起来。孩子们全都出来放花炮了。这个放个“降落伞，”那个又放个“天女撒花”〃〃〃〃各式各样的花炮全有。每放完一个都会聚集好几个孩子，他们在讨论谁的花炮最美丽，谁的花炮颜色最多，之后又是阵阵欢笑。大人们或几个坐在一起打牌，打麻将；或几个坐在一起嗑瓜子，剥花生；或看着自己的孩子放花炮，偶尔还要帮他们一下。大多数的孩子，都是自己独立操作完成。

夜，更深了。人们陆陆续续的回家了，有些不肯回家的孩子也在父母的劝说下，不情愿的回了家，一天的热闹景象渐渐被夜幕包围。我不禁感叹又是一年到，时间过得可真快呀！

春节见闻

“当、当、当”新年的钟声敲响了，家家户户的门上早已贴上了或火红或金黄的对联，每一家的老老少少都乐得合不拢嘴。兴奋的孩子们有的目不转睛地盯着电视，品尝着一年一度的晚会大餐――春节晚会；有的急着给自己的长辈拜年，发短信，打电话，所有新年的祝福话语仿佛怎么也说不完；调皮的孩子正在向自己的父辈们 “讨要”压岁钱；屋外的鞭炮声此起彼伏，炸开了锅，五彩的烟花更是把这个特殊的夜晚点缀得绚丽多姿。

正月初一，农历新年的第一天迎着人们的喜悦祥和而来。我这个平时最赖床的懒汉，今天却起了个大早，因为我极想穿上我那美丽的新衣，出去好好炫耀一翻。我要去走亲访友拜新年了，这无疑也是一件高兴的事。我们小孩子走在拜年队伍的前面，见到长辈们拜个年，说几句吉利话，就可以收获一大把的压岁钱，然后拿到街上去买自己喜爱的东西――玩具、零食、鞭炮……，家长好像变了个人似的，对我们的放纵是那么的宽容，一切都有了！这就是过年的感觉。

“放鞭炮喽！”不知是谁喊了一声，小孩子们很快都聚在了一起。一串串鞭炮在人们手中点燃，响声震天，四处飞溅，仿佛要把一个个美好的愿望送到千家万户。一阵阵炮竹声接连不断，热闹非凡。

到了吃饭的时候，望着满桌子平时最爱吃的菜肴，我们小孩子却一点儿也不觉得饿。大人们在推杯换盏之间，谈论最多是：今非昔比啊！今天的幸福生活从餐桌上最能说明问题，现在人们生活好了，天天就像在过年！

奔波在走亲访友的路途上，我见到了春意盎然的田间大地，一条条新修的高速公路缩短了我们的行程，通往乡村的泥巴路也被“村村通”的水泥路所覆盖，城市高楼大厦像雨后春笋，一年一个变化……

春节对于我们小孩子来说，那就是一切都在变化，一切都是新的！

westerncountries become increasingly closer,more and more chinese accept western culture.

However, some western festivals sometimes even more popular than traditional festivals, foreign cultural’s influence should not be underestimated.The main The main group of celebratingwesternfestivals is youth group which takes students as the main force.People celebrate festivals such as Valentine's day, mother's day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. In fact, because of the Chinese way of thinking, western holidays in China is just popular for Christmas and Valentine's day, not all western holidays attract people's attention. According to a survey ofCentral China Normal University, many college students know the existence of western festivals, but little of them know about their cultural connotations. In addition to Christmas, respondents who knowother western festivals’meaning are less than 10%. Referring to the way to celebrating, in General, during the Festival, people send gifts such as flowers and greeting cards.They sing with friends, and

blessor send messages to each other;lots of people are going to relax during the festival:shopping, inviting friends to restaurants, dancing, and so on. On the whole, Chinese celebrate western holidays with the following

faith four anda characteristics: passion for universality,particularity,blind

consumption

As the saying goes,1000 readers have 1000 Hamlets in mind. people have different viewson whether Chinese should celebrate western holidays. Some people who are keen on Western festivals, argued that China's traditional festivals are too rigidand there are many festivals with feudal thinking.On the contrary,westernfestivalswhich

Opponents believe thatChina has its own history a(转载于:www.Zw2.cN 爱 作 文 网)nd local culture for thousands of years, the Western Festival don’t suit China's needs for cultural development.Also, due to blind worship,people often losttraditional culture. Celebratingwestern holidayswill shake the traditional culture’sstatus in the minds of nationals and endanger the inheritance and development of traditional culture. For example, many young people celebrate Valentine's day, but they don't knowChinese Lovers’s Day. In addition,owing to the cultural invasion,many countries arewary of foreign holidays .To guarantee Chinese cultural’s independence, western holidays cann’t be allowed to develop freely. At the same time, many people celebrate Western festivals for following the fashion .The effectof cultural exchanges isn’t obvious. In addition, the blind pursuit of consumption and enjoyment causesmoney worship,hedonism and other bad ideas.

Just my personal opinion, we should celebrate western holidays withrational thought, and we shouldn’t lose

ourselves.Towards western Festivals, we should take its essence and discard the dregs.For instance,ThanksgivingDaycan be advocated for making our culture advance as it reflects one of Chinese traditional virtues- gratefulness; others, such as Halloween,should be treated calmly because it’s religious.

Cultural integration is the trend of the historical

development.So we should not implement "isolationism". Under the premise of enhancing awareness of traditional culture and revitalizing Chinese culture, we can activelyenter the world that has frequent cultural exchanges.

Festivalsare important means of cultural transmission which host the important cultural.They’re the crystallization of human wisdom. Rich festival lights up our lives, for our life has various colors. Let us take the broad mindand appreciate the colorful festivals!
