The Prevalence of Western Holidays-it is noticeable that western holidays are becomingincreasingly popular day by day, while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Young people in China who are ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays arecrazy about Christmas or Valentine's Day.
There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as theUnited States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in thesecountries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, theprevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable westernculture to prevail in China. Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreignthings while treating our own possessions with contempt.
I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. Chinesetradition should be preserved and promoted. If this trend is allowed to continue, the pricelessheritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such aconsequence. So let us join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition, especially traditionalholidays. (180 words)
