Question

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
“Silent night” is anything but silent in China. Some Chinese people have turned Christmas Eve into a wild party night for the young. I assure you that the holiness of this holy night is totally lost here.
I noticed this year that some Chinese people were picking up Thanksgiving as well. They do without the turkey, but on Thanksgiving they send text messages to each on the cell phone. I got 32 messages in all, reminding me to be thankful. None of them thanked me for anything, however. I did not send any out. I still want a turkey (with lots of stuffing) and pumpkin pies.
The most ridiculous Western holiday celebrated in China, however, is Valentine’s Day. The Chinese translation is “Lovers’ Day”. I dare say it is the worst of the year for married men because they think it awkward to spend “Lovers’ Day” with their wife. But women here take Valentine’s Day very seriously. As a result, it is great business for restaurants and flower shops; this is the day of the year they can sell a lot of merchandise.

Answer 1

The passage mainly describes how some Chinese people celebrate western festivals like Christmas, Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. The writer does not appreciate the way they celebrate them.
Nowadays, some Chinese celebrate western festivals in various ways, but are indifferent about Chinese traditional ones. Some even go as far as doing something crazy that has nothing to do with the festivals, as they don’t understand the real origin or meaning of them.
I am strongly against this kind of behavior. On western festivals, I just send and receive some text messages. After all, as a Chinese, I think we should attack more importance to our traditional festivals. We should celebrate them by doing some traditional activities in order to carry on Chinese culture.
As for western festivals, I suggest we shouldn’t get excited about them and just send some good wishes to each other or engage in some little activities.
