Time for a Change
A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. Nowadays，some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant， but not everyone is keen on this idea. What do our readers think
Dear Editor，
We have eaten out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years，and we have enjoyed it no less than eating at home. I don’t understand why some people refuse to embrace the change.
Can’t they admit that the preparations for the dinner are hard work I really don’t think it’s worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal，and then another hour cleaning up the mess after it’s over. We work all year，so why can’t one day be about spending time with family and relaxing
Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do with loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people，just in a different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that tiring cooking，and the dishes taste better!
In my opinion，what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve really doesn’t matter.
Eating out may change the form of this tradition，but the love between the family
members sitting around the table together remains the same.
Wang Peng，software engineer
Dear Editor，
For this year’s Spring Festival family dinner，my son has booked a table at the best restaurant in town，but I’m a bit unhappy about it. For me，it just won’t feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out.
When I was a little boy，the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what I looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat，but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together. I would run around the house，listening to the adults chatting about their year. I’d get under my mother’s feet in the kitchen，watching her make dumplings. She’d put tokens in some dumplings：candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening，all of us would sit around the table，enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other，we laughed，and the simple， homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef.
I hope my children and their children will still value our memories of preparing the dinner together. To me，the process is even more important than the dinner itself.

but the love between the family members remains the same.

Chinese Spring Festival Going Global
“Nowadays，more and more countries around the world are holding celebrations for Chinese Spring Festival. What’s more，not only are these attended and enjoyed by Chinese citizens living abroad，but by many other nationalities，too.
Shopping centres have been organising events and activities to celebrate Chinese Spring Festival for years，while concerts and other performances are also proving a big success. Tickets for the 2017 Grand Chinese New Year Concert in St Petersburg sold out，with 90% of the audience local Russians. People are also discovering the fun of interacting with the celebrations，rather than simply watching as part of an audience. To celebrate the 2017 festival，over 1，000 Ghanaian junior high school students got up on stage to perform Chinese songs and dances. Students in New York City，meanwhile，have since 2016 been able to enjoy an official day’s holiday for Chinese Spring Festival.

>教材问题参考答案
Dear editor，
These days，a growing number of people overseas are celebrating Chinese Spring Festival，an important traditional festival that features hope，reunion and happiness. Various Chinese cultural activities，such as gala performances，film shows，temple fairs and other forms of celebrations，are held overseas. There are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon. 　　　　　　　　
To start with，the spread of Chinese Spring Festival is partly due to the increasing overseas Chinese population. What’s more，more and more countries have noticed or benefited from China’s growing economic and political influence，so they are also embracing our culture and traditions. Also，many overseas stores and recreational venues are taking the opportunity to profit from the celebration. Last but not least，the Chinese government and various institutions have made great efforts to help the festival go global. I think it’s not only a good opportunity for foreigners to know about China，but a sign of China’s growing influence on the world. I hope everyone can do his or her part to bring more Chinese traditions worldwide，and more people around the globe will embrace the diversity of culture.

5 look forward to 期待，盼望
I’m looking forward to your early reply. 我期待着你早些回复。

【学法点拨】
look forward to 中的to 是介词，后接名词、代词或动名词等。含介词to 的短语还有：
belong to 属于 be used to 习惯于
lead to 导致；通向 get down to 开始做
stick to 坚持 pay attention to 注意
refer to 提到；参考；涉及 object to 反对
