As more and more people travel, work or study abroad, more attention is being focused on how to treat cultural differences. Should we embrace the foreign cultures? Some believe that foreigners should follow the custom of the host country while others disagree. They think that the host country should welcome cultural differences.

YES
If we observe the local customs and habits we could reduce the chances of offending the locals caused by conscious or unconscious misunderstanding. Many embarrassments and conflicts are results of differences in customs and traditions between the tourists and the locals.
For instance, American ladies are always embarrassed when confronting questions such as marriage, age, weight, and salary raised by Chinese visitors who just want to show their kindness and concern. The above mentioned personal information is to Chinese what talking about the weather is to Americans. Following their life habits shows our respect for the locals and thus makes it easier to establish a good relationship with them.
NO
Like religious belief, people are entitled to their traditions and customs, and should not be forced to forsake or abandon them when traveling to a different place. It is unrealistic to expect visitors coming afar to readily pick up the local customs for their own culture is deep rooted. Take foreign citizens of Chinese origin as an example, although they have spent dozens of years in America, it is still hard for them to celebrate Christmas instead of the traditional Chinese Spring Festival.
Besides, instead of challenging and damaging the local traditions, the customs brought by international visitors actually help to enhance the local people’s awareness of their own culture.

答案
Foreign Cultures Should Be Tolerated and Embraced Nowadays, giant planes carry millions of people each day to and from almost all corners of the globe, giving most people the chance of visiting distant countries. However, many of us are sometimes troubled by unfamiliar customs and traditions and are puzzled by the way foreigners behave. As how to treat cultural differences, some people think visitors should imitate local customs and behaviors while others hold that the host country should welcome cultural differences. As far as I am concerned, a country should welcome and embrace foreign cultures. In the first place, no country should always cling to its old customs and traditions and expect others to follow suit. If a nation wants to preserve its unique cultural heritage, it has to first embrace cultural differences in order to improve its citizens’ awareness of their own culture. What’s more, like everything else, culture can’t remain static, especially in light of the profound technology revolution taking place worldwide; every nation should have the ability to embrace cultural differences so as to attract larger numbers of people to pay attention to their own culture, especially the younger generation who stand at the forefront of changes and are always ready to take up new things. All in all, people should keep their own customs and nations should welcome cultural differences and integrate the positive aspects of other cultures into their own. Apparently, if all are open-minded about cultural differences, the idea of a global village could come into existence in every corner of the earth.
解析
本题讨论的是游客该如何应对文化差异的问题。一些人认为游客需要模仿和适应当地的风俗习惯,而另一些人认为这些国家应接纳游客带来的不同文化。如果支持前者,可提出以下观点:1.了解当地风俗可以帮助外来者更快适应新环境;2.每个地方都有自己独特的人文,通过风俗习惯可以接触更多的思想文化;3.过多的外来思想会侵蚀当地的文化传统,而外来者对当地习惯的模仿可以减少这方面的冲击。如若选择支持后者,则可选择以下论据:1.外来思想带来新的理念,为当地的人文注入活力;2.外来的思想可以引发变革,对当地的经济和日常生活起推动作用;3.了解外来思想可以帮助人们深入了解其他地区和国家。在具体行文方面,考生要先概述正反方观点。然后给出自己的观点,最后总结全文。
