Answer 1

Recently, our class held a discussion about whether Chinese people should celebrate foreign festivals or not. Opinions are divided on this issue.
60% of the students think that it is wrong to do so because people will waste a lot of money observing these festivals. Besides, people are likely to forget their own tradition and culture if they focus too much on foreign festivals.
However, 35% of the students argue that it’s a natural trend to celebrate foreign festivals. As we all know, with the development of science and technology, the earth has, in fact, become a global village. Those festivals that were once foreign to us are now familiar to us.
As far as I’m concerned, if we can strike a balance between our own festivals and foreign ones, it’s not a bad idea to have more festivals to celebrate.
