题目:
Most people have forgotten the meaning behind during festival periods, people nowadays only want
traditional to enjoy
or religious festivals;
themselves. To what extent
do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
范文:
Some people argue that we no longer remember the original meaning of festivals,
and that
most of us treat
them as opportunities
to
have fun.
While
I
agree
that
enjoyment
seems to
be the
priority
during festival
times,
I do not
agree that
people
have forgotten
what these festivals mean.
On the one hand, religious and traditional festivals have certainly become times
for
celebration.
In
the
UK, Christmas is
a good example of
a festival
period
when people
are
most concerned with
shopping,
giving
and receiving
presents,
decorating
their homes
and
enjoying
traditional
meals
with
their
families.
Most people
look
forward to
Christmas
as
a holiday
period,
rather
than
a
time
to
practise
religion.
Similar
behaviour can be seen during non-religious festivals, such as Bonfire Night. People
associate this occasion with making fires, watching firework displays, and perhaps
going to large events in local parks; in other words, enjoyment is people
’ s primary
goal.
However, I disagree with the idea that the underlying meaning of such festivals
has been forgotten.
In
UK primary
schools,
children
learn
in detail
about
the
religious
reasons for celebrating
Christmas,
Easter
and a variety
of
festivals
in
other
religions.
For example, in late December, children sing Christmas songs which have a religious
content, and they may even perform nativity plays telling
the story of Jesus
’ birth.
Families
also
play
a
role in
passing
knowledge of
religious
festivals
’ deeper
significance on to the next generation. The same is true for festivals that have a historical background, such as Bonfire Night or Halloween, in the sense that people generally learn the stories behind these occasions at an early age.
In conclusion, although people mainly want to enjoy
