Unique New Y ear’s Traditions from Around the World
How do you celebrate New Year’s？If I had to take a guess，you probably celebrate New Year’s surrounded by family and friends，enjoying drinks of your choice and watching the ball drop with Dick Clark. 1 Listed below are four of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”
•Breaking Dishes on Neighbor’s Door
A strange Danish New Year tradition，depending on how you look at it，is throwing dishes at neighbor’s door. 2 The family with the tallest tower of broken plates，glasses，cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large amount of loyal friends.
•Talking to Spirits
Talking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief.Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. 3 And this is not done at home on an individual basis but is a legal Mexican practice.Taos Inn，in New Mexico for example，offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and meditation for 15.6.Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!
•Wearing Polka Dots
Imagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year. 4 Philippines believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.
•Burning Scarecrow Dummy
Ecuador has a unique custom of crafting Scarecrows and then burning them at midnight.They adorn them and fill the scarecrows with newspapers and pieces of wood.As midnight approaches，everyone gathers outside their home and each family burns their own scarecrow. 5 The scarecrow also scares away bad luck，which in turn，fills their new year with luck and happiness. A．New Year’s Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance.
B．It is also believed in the Irish culture that this act will help them get rid of bad luck.
C．Have you ever imagined how New Year’s would look in another country?
D．This all actually happens in the Philippines on New Year’s Eve every year.
E．Strangely，this makes them happy instead of annoying them.
F．We all want to start a new，fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope.
G．The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past months.

Ⅴ.参考范文
Recently，two­child policy was put into effect in China，on which I made a survey among a group of students.Their views on it vary from person to person.
About fifty­five percent of the students surveyed hold the view that our country is in urgent need of the new policy.The reasons are chiefly as follows.For one thing，two­child policy contributes to easing pressure from the aging population.For another，it helps to relieve our burden when our parents grow old.
Others are against it.In their eyes，first，it costs too much to bring up two children，which many families can not afford.Second，it will be more difficult to find a job in the future，if there are so many people in China.
As far as I am concerned，I really want to have a little brother.Only in that way，can I learn to share and become less selfish.。
