What do you think of celebrating Christmas Day in China? Christmas Day is very popular in China, especially for young people. Should Chinese people celebrate Christmas Day? 60% people think that we should not take Christmas so seriously, 10% think everyone should celebrate Christmas.
Some people think celebrating Christmas Day can help them understand western culture better. Some people think it is a great holiday to have a good time with their families and friends. During Christmas Day, they can meet friends, go shopping, watch movies and go to different parties.
But I have different ideas. Most of us celebrate Christmas just because we see many people around us do it.
China has its own holidays, such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Day, so we don’t have to celebrate holidays from other countries. Some people spend a lot of money celebrating Christmas Day. People buy lots of gifts for their friends and families, but this is not the best way to show their love.

【推荐1】You know, not everyone will like you; not everyone will accept you or appreciate（欣赏）you. In fact, there will be many people who dislike you and who will judge you or criticize（批评）you, and that’s just the way it is. You can’t please everyone.
Now, certainly, we should think about others. We should respect others, and we should pay attention to our own behavior（行为）and if someone criticizes us, we may need to reflect on ourselves and see if there is something we can do to improve our behavior.
But even if you’re the kindest, sweetest and most respectful person in the world, you have to accept the fact that there are people who will find all kinds of reasons to dislike you.
If someone dislikes you, maybe you’ll try to change something about yourself. But no matter what you do, they’ll always find something else to criticize you. And you can’t please everyone.
All you have to do is admit（承认）that they have the right to think whatever they want to think. All you have to do is to respect（尊重）that freedom. And what matters is whether you like yourself or not, whether you accept yourself or not, and none of these should depend on what others think. You have to see for yourself.

【推荐2】Watching TV is my hobby. I like watching TV very much because I think it has many advantages (优点).
First of all, watching TV can make us relaxed. After a day’s hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV can make us not tired any more because of the wonderful music and TV plays.
Second, watching TV is entertaining (娱乐的). There are many kinds of entertainments, such as sports activities, performances, plays and movies in the world. It’s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time. We need about three hours or over to fly from New York to Paris. But within just one second, the TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing the channel (频道).
Most importantly, watching TV is educational. Our children can learn different kinds of subjects through the educational programs and it’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian from a Russian teacher in Moscow. We can even learn how to behave (表现) well from TV plays. At the same time, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge (巨大的) classroom.

【推荐3】When you find that almost everything goes wrong and there is nothing you can say or do to make it right, what will you do? You might decide to make excuses （借口）like a thing you wanted to do but you didn’t or a job that you didn’t finish.
However, excuses can’t make any difference. Let me tell you a short story, I think it will show you the power（影响） of not making excuses and trying your best.
Before I read the story, I saw a picture. In it, a man is wearing different socks and shoes. It wasn’t a fashion show. It was the 1912 Olympics, and the man was Jim Thorpe. On the morning of his matches, his shoes were lost. Luckily he found two shoes in a garbage can（垃圾桶）.But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear one more sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won gold medals that day.
So what are you going to do when you meet problems? No matter what happens to you, don’t let it stop you from running your race. You can experience more in life if you don’t make excuses and try your best.
You can have excuses, or you can meet with some success, but you can’t have both.
