【作文背诵范文】
The Prevalence of Western Holidays-it is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Young people in China who are ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays are crazy about Christmas or Valentine's Day.
值得注意的是，西方节日正日益流行，而中国传统节日在一定程度上却被忽略了。对中国传统节日一无所知的中国年轻人却热衷于西方的圣诞节或情人节。
There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as the United States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to prevail in China. Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while treating our own possessions with contempt.
造成这种现象可能有几个原因。首先，西方国家，如美国和英国，在世界各个方面都占有强有力的主导地位。这些国家的一切都被一些现代年轻人认为具有优势并受到崇拜。第二，英语作为一种世界通用语的普及以及全球化的发展使得西方文化在中国盛行。最后，但也是同样重要的是，一些中国人迷信外国的东西，而蔑视自己拥有的东西。
I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. If this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So let us join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition, especially traditional holidays. (180 words)
我对这一趋势持批评态度。中国拥有灿烂辉煌的历史和传统。中国的传统应加以保持和促进。如果这一趋势继续下去，我们祖先的宝贵遗产，将被西方传统所取代。没有人期待这样的后果。因此，让我们携起手来保护中国的传统，尤其是传统节日。
【高分句型解析】
China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions.中国拥有灿烂辉煌的历史和传统。
点评：这个句子结构很简单，但用的都是“大词”，比如：boast, brilliant和splendid，在四级写作中准确运用这样的词是考试得高分的一个亮点。
