Further understanding
Why do we need to learn about other cultures’ traditions
By learning different cultures’ traditions, we can:
◆ know what is appropriate behavior.
◆ communicate more effectively.
◆ strengthen relationship with others.
◆ avoid embarrassment,
misunderstanding or offence.
◆ understand others better.
Nowadays, more and more Chinese young people celebrate Christmas Day. What do you think of the phenomenon
Step III. Post -reading
In my opinion, the celebration of western holidays is a good way of learning western lifestyle, history, religion and other cultures, which helps to promote understanding and communication between Chinese and westerners. Besides, the celebration can also make our life more interesting. But we should also make great efforts to preserve and enrich our own traditional festivals.
