Para5
Deep thinking
Which do you prefer The Spring Festival or Christmas
In pairs, discuss “ Should we celebrate western festivals ”
East or west, holidays make us feel loved and happy.
As our world is becoming more and more like a village, it is normal to celebrate western festivals like Christmas.
Celebating western festivals does not mean we do not love our traditions and our motherland.
But we Chinese have the responsibility to carry forward(弘扬) our brilliant traditions and customs and to make them known to the outside world.
With 5000-year-long cilvilisation, China was, is and will always be our pride.
“M” is for the million things
she gave me,
“O” means only that she’s
growing old,
“T” is for the tears she shed
to save me,
“H” is for her heart of purest
gold;
“E” is for her eyes, with
love-light shining,
“R” means right, and right she’ll always be,
Put them all together,
they spell “MOTHER”,
A word that means the world to me.
