The questions in the interview:

1.As we all know, we all like to celebrate the Christmas. Could you tell me what do you

know about the Christmas Day?

4.What do Chinese usually do in Christmas? And how about the shops, the schools, the

families.

Answer: The shops always decorate their places and attract customers to buy their goods. In addition, the schools will hold some large parties and activities. As to families, they may have a dinner together and decorate their Christmas trees as well as giving presents. However, Christmas is more popular in the foreign.

5.What’s the importance or significance of celebrating the Christmas in China? In

another words, you just need to evaluate this phenomenon that Chinese celebrate the Christmas.

Answer: As a saying goes: every coin has two sides. For a long run, celebrating the Christmas has a great benefit to our development in economy. In the term of person and family, celebrating the Christmas can help us get along well with each other and keep harmonious relationship. However, it may be a big strike to our traditional culture but it is impossible that the Christmas will take the place of our traditional festivals if we protect them well. So, it is ridiculous that someone say it is a kind of cultural aggression.

The experience from this interview:

The students look forward to observe the Christmas, and they have a good command of the base knowledge of the Christmas. Therefore, we should hold more activities and parties to satisfy their demand to make the atmosphere more attracted.
