参考范文：
Dear editor，
Many people could have failed to notice the fact that an increasing number of Chinese are fond of celebrating some western festivals today.For instance，on Valentine's Day，many people give flowers or chocolates to the one they love.
A number of factors account for the phenomenon.On the one hand，due to the policy of reform and opening?up，Chinese people tend to know more about western culture and be influenced by it.On the other hand，with a lot of traditional Chinese festivals losing their attraction，many people tend to find joy in western festivals.
In my opinion，while enjoying the atmosphere brought by those western customs，we might well lose our own tradition and identity.
Yours，
Li Hua
Thank you for your attention!

Dear editor，
Many people could have failed to notice the fact that an increasing number of Chinese are fond of celebrating some western festivals today.For instance，on Valentine's Day，many people give flowers or chocolates to the one they love.
A number of factors account for the phenomenon.On the one hand，due to the policy of reform and opening?up，Chinese people tend to know more about western culture and be influenced by it.On the other hand，with a lot of traditional Chinese festivals losing their attraction，many people tend to find joy in western festivals.
In my opinion，while enjoying the atmosphere brought by those western customs，we might well lose our own tradition and identity.
Yours，
