44、try,its a time to remember our cultural origin and our historical past.The whole country celebrates our root and its very inspiring.We become so proud of our past.I guess thats why festivals are important.For the individual,festivals give us a chance for relaxation as we often have a few days off.It

45、s a time of fun,meeting friends,entertainment.S o a f t e r t h a t w e f e e l l i k e a n e w m a n.In a sense,holidays restore our balance between work and leisure.Thats also why we need festivals for China.4040FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONSFESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONSWould you agree that the original

46、significance of festival is often lost today?Its an end to the old year and the beginning of a new year.So its a connecting day.But today,people are so busy,theyre under so much pressure and they no longer feel the transition between the old and the new year.Some companies even ask their employees t

47、o come in on holidays.So many people begin to feel that festivals are just as common as the other days.4141FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONSFESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONSPeople no longer take the opportunities of festivals to honor their tradition,but go shopping,go to restaurant to entertain instead.So I thin

48、k tradition is out,consumption is in.Festivals provide people such an excuse to put down their work,to spend money and be extravagant and to meet people that they dont have time for during the working year.So in this sense,even the original significance is lost,festivals are still exciting.4242Q1-PE
