behavior has done great harm to the image of China, which is really shameful.

China has long been regarded as a country with good manners. Everybody should keep some do’s and don’ts in their mind to guide their behavior in public, home and abroad. Win respect for yourself and our country!

One possible version:

Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities. Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets.. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinion, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.

I like animals, so I don’t think it is bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.

近年来，一些西方节日在中国越来越流行。这种现象在网上引起热议。请根据下图描述中国人过洋节的情况，谈谈你对这种社会现象的看法，并将你写的东西在该英语论坛上发表。

要求：1. 表达连贯，逻辑正确。2. 字数100-120 参考词汇：情人节：Valentine’s Day Western holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day and ect. are getting more and more popular in China. Some Chinese people even get crazy on them. But at the same time, people seem to have less enthusiasm for our traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Mooncake Festival. However, most people celebrate western holidays without knowing the meaning behind them. They just go shopping, hold parties and have fun.

In my opinion, the celebration of western holiday is a good way of learning the western cultures, which helps to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures

and other cultures. Besides, the celebration can also make our life more interesting. However, we should make great efforts to preserve and enrich our own traditional culture.
