You should write about 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. 【参考范文】 The picture symbolically depicts that six lovely children from different countries with different ethnicities get together and play games happily in a world of harmony. It is quite obvious that the drawer wishes to draw our attention to the most favorable social phenomenon that cultural exchanges are gaining worldwide popularity. There are, to my mind, several reasons accounting for this phenomenon of the picture. For one thing, cultural exchanges can enhance international friendship, and people can acquire better understanding of each other. Through cultural exchanges, they can learn of different peoples around the world, what they believe in, how they lead their daily life，and their traditions and customs. For another，cultural exchanges can also greatly benefit the countries involved. That is because countries can share their achievements with each other to stimulating their own social progress and cultural prosperity. Based on the above reasons, I hold that worldwide cultural exchange is beneficial to all countries involved. As for China, the opendoor policy has greatly promoted the Chinese civilization to the entire world and vice versa. Therefore, I can firmly conclude that in the long run, cultural exchanges will contribute to a flourishing Chinese and global economy, as well as diversified cultures. |
