圖畫作文：傳統文化/外來文化/文化交流
An American girl in traditional Chinese costume
Directions:
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of An American girl in traditional Chinese costume and then explain the importance of cultural exchanges. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
The picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face. She wears ribbons, necklaces and other accessories that are characteristic of the clothes of a certain Chinese minority group.
The fact that people from different countries are attracted to mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. In other words, a nation’s unique/distinctive culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization becomes irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.
It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture for those ideas from the other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run. Nevertheless, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side.
參考譯文
這幅圖畫生動描述了一位可愛的美國小女孩身穿傳統的中國服裝，面帶甜蜜的微笑。她戴著具有某個中國少數民族服飾特征的發帶、項鏈和其他裝飾品。
神秘的中國文化吸引了各國人民這一事實，顯示了在某種程度上，一種文化可以被國際性地接受、尊重、欣賞和分享。換而言之，一個民族獨特的文化可以通過全球性的經濟和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻擋，所以文化交流可以有效增進相互間的理解和友誼。
在我看來，我們應該保存和珍惜作為無價精神財富的民族文化。同時，我們很有必要推廣世界文化，因為來自其他文化的觀點，即使乍看起來相互矛盾或荒謬，但從長遠看來，可以為我們觀察這個世界提供一種不同的視角。
