我与奥运

　　奥运是窗口，我是守望者。

　　这是一扇极大的窗，被擦得明亮。透过它，看到的是世界。这里每天都在变，这里每天都有新兴事物在更替。只有我，这个忠诚的守望者，每天都在关注它，希望更多地了解它。

　　奥运是路口，我是行人。

　　每天路过这里的人很多，有亚洲人、有欧洲人，有老人、有孩子。这儿是交通要塞，连接着五湖四海的朋友。我只是路过这里的亿万人之一，穿过它，到另一个世界去。

　　奥运是圣地，我是志愿者。

　　这是片圣洁的土地，自始至终都有圣火在旁边陪伴。正因为这样，我自愿为它付出，我要尽我的力量让这片土地更加洁净，让更多人了解它，也像我一样愿意献身于它。我还要给来这里的人予以帮助，让他们享受这片圣地的快乐。

　　奥运是平台，我是主人。

　　它为我们搭起了平台，让世界了解我们;它为我们建造了桥梁，让我们与世界更好地沟通。这个平台可以让我们尽情展现自己。我是这里的主人，我为是这里的主人自豪。我要尽地主之谊，让来客感受到热情与欢乐。

　　Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival

　　Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.

　　This worry is fairly unnecessaryg Why Ⅱ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians, college students and joint-venture (workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic festival. By contrast, the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

　　I think, it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West, a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.
