　　傳統(tǒng)活動對對碰

　　【Cue Card 1】:

　　分析：考生首先需挑選某個節(jié)日

　　Chinese traditional festival:

　　Spring Festival、Mid-Autumn Festival、Dragon Boat festival、Double Ninth Festival、Pure Brightness Festival、Lantern Festival

　　activities：

　　【回答】: The Spring Festival is the most important traditional Chinese festival and it is also my favorite holiday. On New Years Eve, the whole family gets together and has a wonderful supper. After supper, the elders give the children lucky money with which the young can buy whatever they want. During the Spring Festival, people visit their relatives and wish each other Happy New Year. Throughout the Spring Festival, everyone is much more friendly and kinder than at any other time of the year, and you feel that the world is full of love. During the Spring Festival, since there is no school, the children always walk in the streets in groups, singing and laughing. Sometimes they set off firecrackers and generally have a good time. The young always go shopping or go to the parks together, or they stay at home and enjoy special TV programs. There is a peaceful and happy atmosphere.

　　擴展信息：Changes about celebrating the festival:

　　going out to have a get-together dinner or party in restaurants instead of big exhausting home dinner;

　　making a phone call to ones friends and relatives or sending e-mails or forwarding short messages by cell phone to express good wishes instead of troublesome visiting;

　　taking the advantages of modern communication devices to improve the efficiency

　　【Cue Card 2】:

　　【回答】: I am a firm believer of a saying Culture is one of the very few things that can make people get obsessed with forever. Indeed, it is like a fashion, like a trademark, like a time. It is Cambridge made me know about UK. It is Disney made me know about USA. It is Louis Vuitton made me know about France. Talking about interesting culture, I think the most impressive one is Chinese culture.Chinese wedding, as one of the most fantastic parts in Chinese culture, never fails todraw any attention anytime. Here I would like to tell you about two typical customs involved in Chinese wedding: the hair combing ceremony and door-game playing.

　　Although it is not always performed today, it is a lovely ritual that got special meaning. Anyway, I would do it when I get married. The night before the wedding, the bride is supposed to bathe and then take a seat in front of lit candles. Her hair is combed four times by her mother. It is considered to be fortunate in life. The first combing symbolizes from beginning to end. The second means harmony form youth though old which is followed by the third combing with a wish for many grandchildren. And it ends up with the fourth combing offers hope for wealth and a happily-ever-after marriage. Isnt it sweet?

　　Another ceremony I wanna talk about here is what we called Door game. Say, when groom picks up the bride, and he will be blocked at the front door by brides relatives or friends, and the bridesmaids will play door game with the groom and his groomsmen. Bridesmaids will try to stop him from entering by asking tough questions. It is supposed to be a way to test if he really cares about her. They may also do other tricks to delay the brides leaving. The groom will try to get through the door by presenting lucky money, money wrapped in red envelopes, to the bridesmaid. Finally, the groom has to give the bride a piggy back to the limo waiting outside.

　　Certainly, there are still millions of other cool customs, such as bed setting, 12-course traditional Chinese wedding banquet, bowing procedure, rings exchanging, arm-crossed drinking, paper cutting of dragon and phoenix, double happinessall of these make Chinese wedding really special.

　　武裝到牙齒的回答

　　【Question 1】:

　　Do you think people need festivals?

　　分析：建議考生回答是。The answer is probably yes.

　　然后給出理由。Tell why it is so by giving some specific reasons.

　　【回答】: Absolutely. For one thing, people need to take some time off their normal duties and relax. There is always a holiday atmosphere during these times and thats important. Also it gives an opportunity for people to socialize. And its a time for get together. Family reunion, in my opinion, is one of the most charming and exciting things about festivals. It strengthens family bonds.

　　【Question 2】:

　　Are there any traditional skills in your country?

　　思路拓展：考生可以考慮：What are they?

　　Do you think people try to learn these skills?

　　【回答】: Well, yes. We have all kinds of skills such as woodcarving, sculpturing, paper cutting, sewing and knitting, cooking local food and so on. But less and less people nowadays are showing interest in traditional skills. I think the reason is that modern science and technology is developing with a faster pace than ever before. So many high-tech products and devices are available for modern consumers that they tend to think science and technology is what life is all about, and they tend to care less and less about the humanities, histories and traditions.

　　分析：由于傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)本身就是一種文化遺產(chǎn)，因此技術(shù)其實是對傳統(tǒng)的一種繼承形式。由于現(xiàn)代科技的發(fā)展速度過快，導致人們產(chǎn)生重科技、輕人文的思維傾向;很顯然，該回答把人們不欣賞傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)的原因歸結(jié)為科技發(fā)展 VS 人文傳統(tǒng)的兩元對立。于是，在我們闡述原因的同時，就很巧妙地把隱藏在深處的humanities, histories and traditions推到了臺前，顯示出講話者的人文關(guān)懷。而在談到年輕人不再關(guān)心傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)的時候，也折射出對于傳統(tǒng)文化漸漸式微的一種憂慮之心。
