1.1
Western festivals gain ever-increasing popularity in China. A growing number of people in China are immersed in the thrilling atmosphere of the upcoming Christmas. In comparison with the Spring Festival, the equally high status is given to Christmas by some of them.
There are a variety of factors contributing to this craze (trend). First, younger age groups are exposed to western culture and lifestyles through learning English. And festivals are regarded as the highlight of western culture. For example, Valentine's Day provides a vehicle for young adults to show their love. Second, the advancement of economy enables Chinese people to possess increased purchasing power. They are heavily targeted by businessmen, who view foreign festivals as golden opportunities to make money. So they desperately try to boost the atmosphere of foreign festivals.
The necessity of celebrating these foreign festivals is widely questioned. People involved are to blame for their loose traditional values. Our home-grown festivals play crucial roles in Chinese traditional culture. However, their foreign counterparts are exerting strong influence on people's values and thoughts. There is no doubt that we should give our priority to Chinese traditional festivals.

[colou=red]Controversy : For or Against
Though the western festivals become more and more popular, there is much controversy over this phenomenon. Many people ,including the experts ,turn to worry about the disadvantages and potential harm of the celebrations. And many people think otherwise .Different people have different views towards it .
Part 1 :
Viewpoint 1
Some people comment that the festivities are meaningless . "They are foreign. And why should we Chinese keep their festivals . They have nothing to do with us ! What should we do that for ? " they said , "don't do this sorts of stupid things again ! " One people says online jokingly ,"April Fool's Day ? Forget it .Don't you know that we are keeping Fool' Day every day ?" We celebrate the festivals even without knowing their meanings .
Viewpoint 2
Others believe that the western festivals serve as a kind of cultural aggression . And we should drive them out of our country lest they should undermine our traditional culture and system . Some festivals such as Christmas are highly religious .As the 'imported 'festivals become hot , our own native festive occasions turn cool . What's worse , if our own distinctive culture be destroyed , then the whole nation will not exist .

Some people point out that the youngsters are misled by the market sellers , who exert great efforts to advertise and propagate their products and provide all kinds services related to the west festivals . And the young people are just following the trends indiscriminately . It will cost them an arm and a leg to buy the gifts ,which is especially inappropriate for the campus students . Some stores hold contest of kissing , in which the couple who kiss each longest will be rewarded . Many young people including the students take part in it .

A lot of people assume that the phenomenon is actually a kind of blind worship of western things . They condemn the people keeping the Occidental festivals as lacking the backbone . They should strength their confidence of our own country and our own traditional festivals . It is better to celebrate our own .

Through the activities , we can know each other better . If you want to pursue a boy or a girl , then Valentine's Day is a great chance .You can boldly show your love to him or her under the cloak of festival.

The festivals brings happiness to us . It can contributes t o alleviating the pressure of study , work ,etc . In modern society , everyone may feel some stress. Since the celebrations are beneficial , why should we keep them out of the door . And happiness is indispensable part of our life . Just for fun and for relaxation . There is no conscience of religion . Many people accept the festival without knowing their original significance .So don't worry about the influence of religion . A lot of good memories will remain in our brain .
Viewpoint3
The western festivals are colorful . And they emphasize more on the individualism and liberalism .Some aspects of our traditional festivals not fit to many people . For example , to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival , people traditionally make Tsung Tzu (a pyramid-shaped mass of glutinous rice wrapped in leaves) at home . But it is not convenient for people who live in the big cities to do it . And the Ghost Day has an ambience of gloom and horror . But people in the west celebrate the Halloween Day with a more happy attitude.

The Increasing Popularity of Western Festivals in China
People especially adolescents in increasing number preferred a western festival than a traditional one.They enjoy Christmas gifts,sweet chocolate and beautiful red roses on westen festivals,and thereby,this phenomenon arises not only in part of the country.
Is this a kind of cultural invasion?Someone`s trying to think so while others take it for a kind of communication in culture. On one hand,the western festival do have an effert on the native culture:more people celebrate western festival instead of their own one,which becomes a disaster to our culture.No wonder someone declained that our culture is vanishing!On the other hand,celebrating western festival is undoubtly a good chance to experence foreign culture..In the long run,western festival may occupy our market and affect our living styles,so it is high time to recall our own national awareness and protect our traditional culture.
My point to this phenomenon is that we can enjoy western festivals but we also keep our own culture in order to ensure the future of our nation.

2.The safety of food
An overarching food safety commission will be set up to improve supervision, according to the latest draft of a food safety law submitted to the top legislature for review Wednesday.
The commission will be a "high-level coordination and guidance" body, and details of its responsibilities and authority will be decided by the State Council, Liu Xirong, deputy director of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Law Committee, said while explaining the change to legislators.
The draft law is likely to be passed over the weekend after the NPC Law Committee Wednesday suggested putting it for vote on Saturday when the current NPC Standing Committee session ends.
Liu said the proposed commission reflects the demands of legislators to streamline the current food supervision mechanism. More than 10 government departments are involved with food safety at present, leading to overlapping of responsibilities and lax law enforcement.
The amendment to the draft law reduces to five the number of government departments: health (MOH), agriculture (MOA), quality control (AQSIQ), industry and commerce (SAIC), as well as food and drug safety (SFDA).
The MOH has been given primary responsibility and a range of new tasks including evaluation of risks, setting standards, investigating accidents and releasing information.
Another major change is that the latest draft law brings under its purview the supervision of health food. "Health food has become a quite big industry, but many problems remain," Liu said. "The supervision of such food should be even stricter."
The draft stipulates that health food must not cause any harm to people, their labels and instruction leaflets must be true, and cannot claim the products can prevent or cure illness. The State Council is required to release a detailed regulation on health food, according to the draft.
Legislators said they were glad that their opinions were taken into consideration. "I suggested improving the current food safety supervision mechanism during the draft law’s last review in October 2008, and I’m happy the latest draft has made changes accordingly," Yu Zhenggui, an NPC Standing Committee member, said.
Experts said the law, if passed, will be a milestone in food safety regulation. "The biggest progress is that the law highlights the importance of safety risk assessment," Chen said.
The draft law devotes a whole chapter to risk assessment, and requires the MOH to set up a risk assessment committee comprising experts in health, agriculture, food and nutrition.

2.2
China strengthens food safety
The Chinese government is to strengthen food safety regulations in response to incidents of tainted food and toothpaste, which had led to bans of some Chinese products in several countries.
Xinhua reported that Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao addressed the State Council on Wednesday. Wen stated that "The nation must establish a rigorous network to realize effective supervision over processing, packaging, delivering and sale of products and step up the establishment of national standard systems to tally with international standards,"
China will now seek to strengthen cooperation with other countries and improve law enforcement to prevent further incidents.
2.3
“Sudan Red I” and China’s Food Safety
By staff reporter QIAO TIANBI
After its prompt handing of the Sudan Red I incident,KFC's business in China recovered quickly.

FIVE days after the UK Food Standards Agency announced the recall of food contaminated with the carcinogenic dye Sudan Red I, China’s food safety authorities demanded a comprehensive examination of all domestically produced food. Evidence suggests that China’s Food Safety Administration acts in accordance with international practices, and has the ability to deal with emergencies. The “Sudan Red I” incident, however, has sparked skepticism among Chinese consumers, and a recent survey released by the Ministry of Commerce shows that less than 50 percent of those questioned have full confidence in foodstuffs, either Chinese or foreign.
Gap between China and Developed Countries
Hu Xiaosong, a professor with the China Agricultural University Food Safety Technological Center, says that Western countries solved their food and clothing shortages back in the mid-to-late 1950s, but that China has only recently done so. Many urban residents are now seriously concerned about the safety of their food. Western nations have spent fifty years establishing a legal system and quality control mechanisms to govern food safety. China could not be expected to catch up in just a few years.
The country has actually made tremendous progress regarding food safety. In the mid-1980s, agricultural and food products that met state standards of quality control averaged between 60 and 70 percent. By the mid 1990s, that rate had jumped to 80 percent, and progress continues.
In 1995, China issued the Food Hygiene Law, and in 2003, it announced the Food Safety Action Plan. As part of its attempts to regulate the markets, the State Council has cracked down on counterfeit and shoddy goods. Three years ago, China introduced a market access system whereby 28 categories of food would be placed under a supervision and control system. Rice, flour, cooking oil, soy sauce and vinegar have so far been put under the system and 95 percent of these products’ national sales volume is produced by qualified enterprises. Another 10 categories, including meat and dairy products and soft drinks, are in the final stages of completion, while work on the remaining 13, including tea and candies, has already begun.
Vice Premier Wu Yi of the State Council said at the opening ceremony of the Global Forum on Food Safety, held in December 2004 that, “China’s food safety situation has improved, but there is still a long way to go.” In 1996, China banned the use of Sudan Red I in food production, but testing standards were a long time coming, showing that the country lags behind in food safety standards. Of China’s current food safety standards, only 23 percent meet the international or advanced standards that apply in developed nations. Certain food additives that are banned abroad are still permitted in China. Moreover, in many cases, limits, testing methods and standards are few and far between, and are not coordinated where they do exist. Zhu Yicai, chairman of the Yurun Group, holds that without a unified system of quality standards, confusion exists among consumers and producers alike.
There are nearly 10 departments responsible for food safety supervision, with more than one million employees. But as Chief Sun Xianze of the State Food and Drug Administration says, “these departments’ functions overlap, and sometimes even contradict each other, causing a dilution of forces and resources.” Many experts suggest that a Food Safety Commission be established that centralizes food safety administration and quality control.
Lifestyle Impact
Zong Qinghou, chairman of China’s largest soft drinks producer the Wahaha Group, says, “The safety of food is more important than the food itself. It is a question of basic hygiene, one that concerns the national economy, as well as the people’s very livelihoods.” Research results from a two-year project conducted by the Hangzhou Center of Disease Control and Prevention reveal that traditional Chinese foods, such as roast chicken, roast duck, smoked fish, salted meat and fermented soya beans can be just as unsafe as those containing Sudan Red I. At the same time, the Chinese diet is undergoing a rapid transformation, with high-fat foods and fast food becoming more and more popular. Nearly 200 million Chinese people are overweight, and among them, 60 million are obese. Incidences of diet-related illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and apoplexy are increasing rapidly. Hu Xiaosong concludes, “Radical changes are occurring in our diet and nutrition structures, bringing with them great risks to people’s health.”
3.How to increase your work esperience in university
3.1
While studying in universities, students are required to make a detailed study of the knowledge in the books. Certainly the academic knowledge is the foundation for the future work. Some working experiences is also indispensable for them to adapt to the future occupation. How to increase the working experience without the sacrifice of students?
Firstly, I think, the students should get mentally and physically prepared for the coming part-time jobs. Secondly, they should widen the scope of choices. Whenever mentioning the part-time jobs, students will inevitably think of tutoring little kids and working in the supermarkets. In fact, there are a lot of other choices, such as working as volunteers for some associations, teaching in some less developed ares, and writing article for newspaper. Finally, write down promptly what they have learned form work. By doing so, they could have deep impression of that experience and make it really valuable for the future work.
In a word, working experience gained while the students are studying in universities will benefit them throughout their lives.
