Answer 1

【答案】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. Meanwhile, celebrating foreign festivals can help us learn more about the customs of other countries.

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.

【解析】这是一篇提纲类作文。要求介绍你班学生对“中国人该不该过洋节”的不同看法，并写出自己的观点。文章应分为三部分。第一部分：介绍赞成者的观点，理由；第二部分：介绍反对者的观点，理由；第三部分：介绍自己的观点。题干所给信息明确具体，比较好写。

【亮点分析】

该范文要点齐全，表达条理清楚。长短句交叉使用。作者熟练采用了宾语从句（that it is wrong to do so），定语从句（that were once foreign to us），It is +adj. + to do 句式。等复杂句式。表达自然顺畅，充分利用了besides, however等连接词，使文章脉络清晰明确。观点明确。
