Is it right for young people to celebrate foreign festivals such as Valentine’s Day, April Fools’ Day and Christmas Day? Some people say yes. They argue that celebrating foreign festivals is a fashion and it gives people more excuses to enjoy themselves. The festivals can help people not only to make more friends but also to gain more knowledge about foreign culture.
Others, however, have the opposite opinion. They say that it’s foolish for Chinese people to celebrate foreign festivals, which will greatly affect people’s feelings on their own traditional festivals. Some people even consider it as a cultural invasion.
As for me, I don’t think that foreign festivals are very bad things. In fact, the world is becoming a global village — people all over the world are becoming a big family. On the other hand, I also think that we should pay more attention to our own traditional festivals, because they are part of our root of our Chinese culture.
