Secondly, they watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV.在除夕，家庭成員首先聚在一起吃大餐，然后他們觀看電視上的春節(jié)聯(lián)歡晚會(huì)。6In another way, if you go shopping online, you will have no chance to see the things you want to buy and check.另一方面，如果你網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物，你將不再有機(jī)會(huì)去看到那些你想購(gòu)買和檢查的商品。7If you plan your shopping in advance of winter, you can save lots of money.如果在入冬前購(gòu)置這些物品，你能省下一大筆錢。8The reason why this item should be bought only during sales is that it will give you the best value for money.只在打折的時(shí)候買這件東西的原因是這樣真的可以讓你物有所值。9Nowadays, with the rapid development and increasing popularity of the information technology, shopping on the Internet has been a fashion, especially among the youngsters.如今，隨著信息技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展和日益普及，在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物已成為一種時(shí)尚，尤其是在年輕人當(dāng)中。10Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience.在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物有很多優(yōu)點(diǎn)，其中最重要的或許是它的便利性。(2016·秦皇島高三質(zhì)檢)上個(gè)世紀(jì)80年代，中國(guó)人對(duì)圣誕節(jié)還比較陌生。然而，近年來大多數(shù)中國(guó)人都已接受并過上了這一“洋節(jié)”，并且越過越熱鬧。但國(guó)內(nèi)多數(shù)人的“圣誕熱”與宗教沒有太多聯(lián)系，他們不過是享受大餐、瘋狂消費(fèi)而已。請(qǐng)你就此事寫一篇英語短文并發(fā)表評(píng)論。注意：詞數(shù)100左右。參考詞匯：宗教religion合唱曲chorus范文必背Nowadays we are very familiar with Christmas, which foreigners will celebrate by sending cards and gifts, pretending as Santa Claus and listening to chorus in church. It is accepted that Christmas has been brought into China and gradually developed into part of Chinese culture.However, most of Chinese dont celebrate it exactly as foreigners do. Their celebration has nothing to do with religion but they celebrate it in a different and special way. In their view, Christmas is a good chance for them to enjoy big meals and do the shopping madly. In order to meet their needs of mad consumption, many supermarkets and restaurants especially provide their goods at a discount on that day, which results in their large sales.As an originally religious festival, why should many Chinese spend it only by consuming madly instead of in a more meaningful way? This is the problem that many of us should consider carefully.佳句演練(1)根據(jù)句仿寫句子It_is_accepted_that English is becoming increasingly important as an international language.作為國(guó)際語言，英語已變得越來越重要的事實(shí)已被人們接受。(2)根據(jù)句仿寫句子The boy was away from home for a week, which_worried_his_parents_very_much.這個(gè)男孩離家一個(gè)星期了，這使他父母很擔(dān)心。6
