A and B are talking about holiday plan

A: How are you going to spend your winter vacation?

 

B: I’m going home for the spring festival.

 

A: Oh come, don’t you find the spring festival dull year after year?

 

B: Really?. The gala on the eve, firework, family reunion .I think it’s a good chance for my family to get 
    together.

 

A; Well it seems to me Chinese are losing some of its traditions as it is modernized.

 

B: To some extent ,yes .More and more people are keen on western holidays, and following western custom .But
     we didn’t loss the traditions ,god konows it.

 

A: It’s time we did something to make it a concern.

 

B: Obviously, people are all on you side .

 

A: In what way?

 

B: Some experts proposed that more traditional festivals be included in official holiday system, like the Dradon
    Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Qingming Festival.

A: Hah, that’s great.

 

B: I don’t think having more festivals will make a big difference in honoring our national heritage .Education on
    culture may be a good way to preserve and develop the tradition.

 

A: Don’t be sily .Education doesn’t work too much.

 

B: Then why you still send your children to school , without any complaining ?

 

A: Hum… that’s a question.

A:   寒假有什么打算?

 

B:   回家过春节。

 

A:   说到春节,你不觉得越来越没意思了吗?

 

B:有吗?春节有除夕晚会、烟花、家庭聚会。我觉得是个很好的机会全家人聚在一起。

 

A:我感觉中国的传统都在现代化进程中丢失了。

 

B:从某些方面来说,是的,越来越多的人热衷于过西方的节日,追随西方的习俗。

 

A:我们该让人们对此加以关注了。

 

B: 很明显,人们都站在你这边

 

A:通过什么方式呢?

 

B:有些专家建议把更多的传统节日加入中国的法定假日中,如端午节、中秋节、清明节。

 

A:哈 太好了。

 

B:我认为庆祝更多的节日对弘扬民族文化不会产生很大的影响。我想加强传统文化教育才能保持和发

      展我们的传统文化。

 

A:别傻了,教育没什么用的。

 

B: 那你怎么还毫无怨言的把孩子送到学校呢?

 

A:这倒是个问题。

Two students, a thin boy and a fashionable girl, meet in the university cafe at lunch time. Having got their meals, they sit down opposite at a table and. The conversation begins.

Girl: I didn’t think I would meet you here. I seldom see you eating in the cafe.

Boy: It’s been history. Gas price climbed, so I cannot afford cooking in my apartment everyday.

Girl: Eating here is not a way of saving any more. The price here increased, too.

Boy: It seems so. You looked tired. Did you stay late last night?

Girl: Yes, I have no other choice. I washed my hair last night and waited until midnight for its becoming dry.

Boy: I thought such a girl like you must have had a hair dryer.

Girl: I do, but it feeds on electricity, the price of which is no cheaper than before.

Boy: I can’t agree you more. I now use my computer less often. It seems you are affected deeply by the Western History.

Girl: Why?

Boy: See, you are nearly a vegetarian. Don’t tell me you decide to be a nun after graduation.

Girl: You’ve got kidded me! The price of meat soared recently so I’m forced to have less or even no meat for meals. And you? Are you on a diet? I cannot find any mince meat in your bowl. So fashionable you are!

Boy: If I needed to lose weight, there would be no slim ones. Just as you said, the meat price hiked.

Girl: Even the eggs, too. I think we can only afford to eat some cabbages.

Boy: Right. We’d better keep several hens in dorms to get some eggs.
