Answer 1

One possible version：
The Lantern Festival and the Valentine’s Day coincide on February, 14^th, 2014, which makes people discuss heatedly which festival to celebrate that day. It is not wrong for us to adopt some western festivals, however, it is more important for us to learn how to celebrate our Chinese festivals.
In my perspective, as a Chinese, it is a custom as well as a responsibility for us to celebrate the Chinese traditional festivals. On the one hand, all the traditional festivals date back to hundreds of years ago, which is a symbol of our culture and civilization. Not only should we celebrate the Chinese festivals for fun, but also we should have a better knowledge of their background and origins. Therefore, various activities should be organized to add to the atmosphere of the festivals. On the other hand, all of the Chinese people should take the responsibility to pass our culture down from one generation to another, so that our future generations can also learn what to do in those traditional festivals, just as we do today.
To sum up, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. Nobody expects such a consequence that our priceless heritage of our ancestors is replaced by western traditions. So let’s join hands to keep Chinese tradition.

試題分析：本文要求以“守住中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日”為話題，用英語寫一篇100-120詞的短文，表達(dá)你的觀點(diǎn)。根據(jù)提示信息可以判斷本文需用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。在寫作時(shí)可以使用三段式結(jié)構(gòu)，首先介紹寫作背景，即在情人節(jié)和元宵節(jié)重疊的時(shí)候該過哪個(gè)節(jié)日，然后表明自己的觀點(diǎn)，并且闡述理由，最后做歸納總結(jié)。在語言方面，要注意恰當(dāng)使用連接詞，以使文章具有層次感，而且要盡量使用多種句式結(jié)構(gòu)，比如定語從句，狀語從句，倒裝句，非謂語等來增加文章的亮點(diǎn)。
【亮點(diǎn)說明】本文的亮點(diǎn)之一是高級(jí)詞匯和短語的使用，比如coincide 、heatedly、In my perspective、preserved and promoted take the responsibility等。第二大亮點(diǎn)是長句的準(zhǔn)確使用，比如文章第二段中On the other hand, all of the Chinese people should take the responsibility to pass our culture down from one generation to another, so that our future generations can also learn what to do in those traditional festivals, just as we do today.這些長句中既包括定語從句，又有賓語從句和狀語從句，這些都顯示了作者豐富的詞匯知識(shí)和深厚的語言功底。此外，作者還用到了on the one hand ,on the other hand ，to sum up和not only ……but also 等連接詞，使文章層次清晰，過渡自然。
