2.3 Group Work (about 20 minutes)
Debate: Should Chinese celebrate Western Holidays?
Each group presents their own ideas on the topic first. Then a free debate
will be directed among students.
Sample:
We should celebrate western holidays
I think we should celebrate western holiday. First, it's a good
way for globalization, and we can know more about the culture in other country. Secondly, foreigners will also have a chance to know more about the Chinese culture. Thus, we could avoid some cultural
misunderstandings.
First，I do not think it is a bad things ,and the holiday is a
good thing ,many people could celebrate not only the Chinese people but also the American, and so on. Second, many people go aboard every year, and they should adjust themselves to the aboard environment，so the must to celebrate the holiday，so I think we should celebrate it，and other people that come from union.
We should not celebrate western holidays
To begin with, there are so many meaningful traditional festivals
in China, from which people could have a rest and get relax. In the festival, without the burden of work, people call on relatives, visit their respected teachers, and chat with their best friends. Though the temperature is very could in that time, the atmosphere among people is very warm and happy. Besides, there are other meaningful
and instructive festivals in China, such as Autumn Day, National Day, Pure Bright Festival, etc.
Furthermore, western festivals have the cultural and historical origins in the western countries, which are not known and comprehended by Chinese people. There are so many western festivals, which are originated from or related with Christian or Catholicism which are not believed in by the majority of Chinese people. We could not gain the happy feeling since we could not understand these holidays’ meanings.
Finally, there are negative aspects on unhealthy people in the western festivals which should not be celebrated by us. All Saints Day is a very thrilling festival, in which people put the horrible or sinister mask upon their faces. Though these kinds of actions help people to boost their courage, it is dangerous to the unhealthy people or ill people with heart diseases or cerebrovascular diseases.
