小学生四年级英语作文my family推荐20篇

Friendship is essential for the existence of society. People live in

communities and work in co-operation so that they could protect themselves from

nature. The successful accomplishment of any task calls for support from many

people. It’s the friends who are willing to help us. Friendship is a guarantee

of harmonious efforts.

In the widest sense, all people are friends. People live in a common

society, co-operating and helping each other directly or indirectly all the

time. From this respective, anyone could be a friend of others to a certain

degree. And it’s this kind of friendship that makes society harmonious though

competition is universal.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Unfortunately, people are so complex

in the modern society due to various reasons. Sometimes, we don’t really know

who are our real friends. Adversity is the touchstone of friendship. That is to

say, in hard times, it is easy for us to test whether the friendship is ture or

not. No matter what happens, a true friend will never leave you alone and will

always be with you.

人生旅途漫漫，蓦然回首，惊觉原来道旁边有的不仅仅是残香。

我回到家中，打开灯，书桌上一杯热气腾腾的奶茶把小小的房间点缀得格外温馨。我并不奇怪，奶茶在每天的这个时候都会准时出现在那，风雨无阻。此刻的我正为另外的一件事儿烦恼，毫无心思在它身上。

曾经，我可以挥笔成文，可如今，一篇母爱却让我的思绪停滞不前，心中莫名地产生一种可怕的空白。

“是妈妈不够爱你吗?”“不，不是。”“是她为你做得不够多吗?”“不，不是。”“那你为什么却偏偏表达不出母爱呢?”

我不住的问自己，可是把头弄得涨痛无比也没有答案。我碰到了奶茶，香气四溢的奶茶，一仰脖，奶茶顷刻入肚，一股暖流立刻使我所有的烦恼一扫而空，抛之于九霄云外。妈妈知道我所需要的一切。

突然我灵光一闪，“难道这就是母爱?”但人们常说母爱是伟大的，又怎会如一杯奶茶般平凡?

我追出门去，想要寻找答案。然而，看到木青的刹那，我止住了脚步。妈妈问：“宏宏，还要一杯吗?”我笑了，终于明白母爱的伟大之处恰恰在于它的平凡，我的漫漫路途又重新拥有了它的光辉。因为，我懂得了珍惜平凡的奶茶中浓浓的爱。

细细一品，那杯浓浓的奶茶真的好香甜......

谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。

随着我茁壮成长、给予我快乐的的人是谁;能为我劳累奔波、任劳任怨的人是谁;不顾自己生命危险、舍生忘死来救我的又是谁?

打开我那尘封已久的童年岁月，发现有一件能让你会挥泪如雨的一件事。那是一天黄昏，火红火红的朝霞把天空映的格外耀眼。我那时还小，要到铁牛广场时格外兴奋，拼命地跑着，哪还注意到后面有一辆出租车。这时，出租车正向我奔驰而来，眼看我就要受伤，妈妈冲了过来喊着：“宝宝，宝宝!并急急忙忙用手拦住了出租车，此时，我望着妈妈细小的双臂，内心充满了无限的感激，我感觉妈妈这时的力量连巨人也赶不上，这种力量，是对我无限的爱和无限的憧憬。我扑了过去，抓住妈妈，趴在妈妈的怀抱里哭了起来，此时，我看到的是一张喜极而泣的脸，是一张泪眼模糊的脸，是一张充满兴奋的脸。那情景，是我一辈子都难以忘记的。

还有一件事，让我记忆深刻。那一天，天下起了倾盆大雨。我没有带伞，看着别的孩子的家长把孩子接到后一起回家的样子，我想：妈妈来了吗?正当我不知所措的时候，妈妈神奇般的降临在我眼前，可她只有一把伞，为了我，妈妈没有打伞，娇小的身躯在雨中格外显眼。回家后，妈妈咳嗽不停，一直发高烧，我大哭起来：“妈，都是我不好，都是我不好，我错了，我错了……”妈妈抚摸着我的额头，轻轻说道：“孩子，你没错，你是清白的，是妈妈自己的错呀!”妈妈说完就睡了。可我却思绪万千：妈妈为我遮风挡雨，任劳任怨，我平时还不听她话，难道妈妈就这样离去了吗，她要轻生吗?我生怕妈妈出什么事，越想越害怕，不由得哭了起来，我这时才明白，妈妈在我身边是我的福，拥有母爱的人多么快乐，我应该孝顺她才是。

慈母手中线，游子身上衣，临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心，报的三春辉?母爱，就这样默默的透露着，永不会暴露。

After finishing my homework I went to the Tai Mountian with my friends during my holiday. When we got near the Tai Mountain by buswe were very excited. We planned to get on the top of the Tai Mountain. Next we began to walk we to the foot of the mountian. There were many visitors there. And all of us enjoyed the beautiful views beside the steps. At last we reached the top.Not only we had a picnic there but also we took several picturestoo.

Though we were very tiredwe were very happy about that trip.

小时候，我还不能深入理解妈妈对我的爱。现在，我渐渐长大了，也越来越能体会到母爱是那么伟大、那么无私。

去年冬天，我得了一种非常少见的病，辗转几个医院都查不出原因，半个学期我都在医院度过。妈妈着急发愁，人瘦了一大圈。清楚地记得，我生病住院的第一天，儿科病房爆满，我被安排住在过道里。当天晚上，我发高烧。妈妈吓坏了，按照医生的嘱咐，赶紧跑到药房给我买了退烧药。吃了退烧药没多久，我便开始出汗，热得十分难受。妈妈见状，坐在床边的小椅子上，拿着纸巾给我擦汗。整个晚上，妈妈每过半个小时给我量一次体温，一夜都没合眼。

第二天早上，我退烧了，妈妈松了一口气。为了避免我着凉，妈妈没有让我起床。她端来洗脸水亲自给我洗脸，让我刷牙后就立即跑到餐厅给我买早饭。早饭刚买回来，妈妈还没吃一口，护士催着交费，妈妈又慌忙去银行取钱交费。忙了一个早上，妈妈总算能坐下来了。由于一个晚上没睡觉，妈妈的眼睛红红的，不停地打哈欠。看妈妈这么辛苦，我就想让她休息一会儿，她没听，强打精神跟我聊天，不让我寂寞。

八点半的时候，我开始输液了。由于来的有些匆忙，一些日用品都没带。妈妈把我安顿好之后，又急匆匆地跑出去买。整个上午，妈妈像一个陀螺不停地旋转。

看着妈妈离去的身影，我问自己，是什么力量让妈妈肯为我如此操劳?是母爱，是母爱的力量啊!

这之后，由于查不出病因，我又连续住了几家医院，每一次妈妈都是如此用心照顾我。

母爱是伟大的、无私的，她时时刻刻刻爱着自己的儿女。有了妈妈的爱，我们才能这样健康、幸福、快乐地成长。感谢妈妈，祝福妈妈，祝妈妈永远开心、平安、幸福!

摆脱了林中的蝉鸣蛙叫，摆脱了空气中的燥热，酷夏终于过去了，接踵而至的便是秋的清爽。 Get rid of the cicada frog in the forest and get rid of the heat in the air. The cool summer finally passed, and then the autumn was refreshing.

若把夏比作活泼、烂漫的孩子，那么秋就是孩子手中神奇的扫帚。它扫走了青翠欲滴的绿叶，扫走了夏日阳光的炙热，扫走了大自然给予人间的碧绿，从而使自然界充满了成熟的气息，使人们心中洋溢着收获的喜悦。然而，校园里的秋天又是怎样的呢?

早晨，校园里的花草树木在秋风中羞涩地颤抖着，小草不知何时已偷偷地脱下了绿衣，换上了黄装。看那高大挺拔的大树，叶子在阵阵秋风中徐徐落下，像孩子一样依偎在树干母亲的裙裾之下，踩在上面，发出沙沙的声音，听起来像一曲悠悠哀怨的小令。

随着太阳的升起，阳光照射在满地枯草落叶之上，使整个校园充满了秋的韵味。夏日仿佛已经被人们所遗忘，校园中心那几棵曾经枝繁叶茂的重阳树的叶子差不多落光了，只剩下几片孤零零的叶子在枝头挂着，被秋风一吹，更有一种“秋风扫落叶”的凄凉之感。

下午，太阳还没有完全落下，夕阳的红色光晕照在金色的校园里。此时的大自然又像是一位画家，它十分巧妙地把红和黄融在了一起。那光线照在花草树木上，使刚才还孤零零的它们，现在又显得温暖而祥和，在秋风中微微地摇曳着。

秋天就这样静静地走进了校园，走进了我们每个人的心中。

我是一个十岁的小男孩，我叫周颂然。我在东方红小学上学，我是水瓶座，B型血。

大家都说我长得帅。我有一张帅气的脸庞，一头乌黑的头发，一双大大的眼睛，高挺的鼻梁，一张能说会道的嘴。方萌老师给我取了一个别名“唇红齿白”的少年，刘老师还给我取了一个外号“白面书生”。我喜欢这个外号，哈哈……我真是一个自恋狂。

我的推理能力特别厉害。下面就由我来跟你说说吧。

一天早上，我发现有人偷吃了我家零食。嫌疑人有表妹、表弟，“你们站着别动。”我来到了表妹的房间，桌子底下发现了零食。我又来到表弟房间，我在床底下又发现了零食碎片。

“哼，真相永远只有一个，名侦探柯周出来了。”我神气地向对表弟说：“小弟，零食是你吃的吧，你在吃的时候落了一些碎片，你为了陷害表妹把零食放到她的房间，我想一个正常人不会这么傻吧!”小弟傻了眼，自言自语道：“你怎么知道?”

不要崇拜我，爷只是一个传说。

我还有助人为乐的品质。有一次，我的腿擦伤了，一位骨折的同学要上楼梯，我要不要帮他一下呢?我的腿也很疼啊!可是又没有别的同学，最后我还是决定帮助他。“一、二、三，一、二、三……”我的腿疼得直发抖，最后我终于扶他上了楼梯，他激动得眼泪都流出来了，我也笑中带泪。

这就是我，一个古灵精怪的美男子。

人都有自己的烦恼，有的是父母为自己的子女们而烦恼，有的是因为自己长得而烦恼，有的是为了种.种的事情而烦恼。而我的烦恼却是我的胆子太小了。我该怎样克服我的这个烦恼呢? Everyone has their own troubles, some of them are troubled by their children, some are troubled because they grow up, some are troubled by breeding.But my troubles were that my courage was too small.How can I overcome my troubles?

有时，爸爸、妈妈不在家的时候，我一个人不敢在家，上课时有问题不敢大胆发言，同学们就给我取了个外号叫“胆小鬼”。同学们每次一见到我就叫我“胆小鬼”。

有一次，我的二伯要了来我家玩，妈妈叫我去接二伯。在家的时候妈再三叮嘱我：“见了二伯要问好”，我的心里也暗暗地下了决心，等我来到街上，我本来要向二伯问好的，但是，我原来放松的心情，一看到二伯，我的心就立马紧张起来了，想喊也喊不出来了，二伯看见我了，问：“怎么不叫我呢?”我的脸一下子红了起来。二伯又说：“你这个孩子，怎么这么胆小呢?”

我记得还有一次，天上下着雨，雨点儿打在玻璃上“叭啦叭啦”的直响，爸爸和妈妈有事出去了，就我一个人在家，我心里特别害怕，这时候，我忽然听到“咯吱咯吱”的声音，难道有小偷，我起身把灯给拉亮了，躺在床上，用被子捂得严严实实的，越是捂着，眼前越是出现可怕的镜头。

突然，我又听见“笃、笃、笃”的声音，我不禁想：“妈呀!强盗来了。”我正要喊救命的时候，有一个人敲门说：“小艳，快把门打开，我们都要被淋湿了。”听，像是爸爸和妈妈回来了，我急忙拉亮电灯，我正要开门的时候，有一只老鼠从柜角里跑出来，唉，原来是你这只死老鼠在这里作怪。爸爸、妈妈看见我惊魂落魄的样子，就问我是怎么回事。我害羞得无法开口，心想：“如果让白爸妈知道了，他们准会说我没出息。”

我要怎样才能改掉这个胆小的毛病呢?这正是我的烦恼。

塞浦路斯位于亚洲，但是政治和文化上属于欧洲，它被称为爱神维纳斯的故乡，地中海的伊甸园，日不落帝国的故乡，地中海的新娘，它是地中海的第三大岛屿之一，这是一片神奇的岛国。这么多美名，我们赶快去看看这个神奇的国度吧!

塞浦路斯在1960年独立，岛上有希腊族和土耳其族，塞浦路斯的治安特别的好，被称为夜不闭户之城，是欧洲犯罪率最低的国家。自古以来就是连续中东、非洲和欧洲的主要通道，现代人把它比喻为“东地中海不沉的航空母舰。”

漫步在塞浦路斯的街头，这里有各种各样古老的中世纪建筑，有四处可见的历史遗迹、古代村落、集市、寺庙、剧院、宫殿，像是一个巨大的历史博物馆，不同时代，不同文明的遗迹在这里随便可见，像地中海的诗人，静静描绘古老的神话和阳光下美好的生活。

塞浦路斯的自然风光真美啊!这里的污染是全世界最少的，没有雾霾，三百五十天是晴天，是英国和俄罗斯的后花园。碧海蓝天，动人的海水，宁静的海滨，色彩斑斓的海面，这就是塞浦路斯。

塞浦路斯是一个发达的资本主义国家，旅游业发达，人民富裕，那里的人民热情欢迎每一个人。

啊，塞浦路斯真是一个美丽的国家，你想来游玩吗?

I have a parrot. Its name is Nancy. I call it Nancy， because it is my passed grandmother’s name. I love her and hope she can accompany with， so I name my parrot her name. Nancy is very beautiful. Its fur is special comfortable. It is clever， too. At first， it can’t say any words， but now it can say many words. Like， good morning， good afternoon， good night， good bye and so on. it learns fast. I love it very much.？

Today is Mid-autumn Day. I have a big meal at home with my parents and

relatives. This is an important festival, so my mother was busy with preparing

the dinner from morning. She bought a lot of foods for the dinner. We ate the

dinner at 5:30 p.m.. The dinner was very delicious. I was so full. After dinner,

we went to theHongTingParkto enjoy the glorious full moon. There were many

people in the park. We talked to each other and strangers. Of course, the moon

cake was essential. We had a great night there.

我们中华民族有很多传统节日，如除夕、元宵、清明、端午今日，我给大家介绍的是中华传统节日之一——中秋节。

在每年的家历八月十五这一天晚上，人们无论在那个地方，都会回来跟家人团聚。那一天晚上月亮异常大，异常圆，也异常亮。中秋节晚上，大家在一齐吃月饼，吃完后走出门外赏月，这时，如果你拿望远镜去望月亮，你会发现月亮里似乎有一棵桂树，有一个人在拼命地砍树，可就是砍不断。传说，那是犯了错误的吴刚被王母娘娘惩罚，让他把广寒宫里的神桂树砍倒，才能够回于宫继续做神。可这查神桂树无论都砍不倒，吴刚也就回不了天宫，享不了福了。这个传说趣味吧!正像苏轼所说那样：“明月几时有，把酒问青天但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。”

在我的家乡长安镇，人们过中秋节时，除了吃月饼赏月外，还举办烧烤呢!今年，我们学校还举行了猜灯谜、送灯笼的活动。大人吃水果、吃花生、聊天、唱卡拉OK，笑声不断;而我们小孩呢，则举着灯笼，在操场上闲逛，比一比谁的灯笼大，谁的灯笼亮，操场上顿时像有无数个一闪一闪的萤火虫似的，真好玩!

经过这次综合性学习，我了解到我国人民十分重视亲情，他们无论在多远的地方，都会思念家乡，思念亲人。每逢过年过节，不管多忙，他们都会回来和亲人团聚。

Summer comes after spring. It is the hottest season in the year. It often rains, sometimes It rains quite heavily. Everything grows very quickly.

Young people love this time of year because it is good for sports .I often go swimming ,sometimes in the sea near my home, and sometimes in the in the swiiming pool. In summer I can also eat all kinds of fruit and vegetables. I can have a long summer vacation,too.

I enjoy summer very much.

春天过后是夏天。这是一年中最热的季节。经常下雨，有时雨下得很大。万物生长得很快。

年轻人喜欢一年中的这个时候，因为它对运动有益。我经常去游泳，有时在我家附近的海里游泳，有时在游泳池里游泳。夏天我也可以吃各种各样的水果和蔬菜。我也可以有一个漫长的暑假。

我非常喜欢夏天。

09月07日星期三天气：晴

一天早晨，当身穿粉红色的短袖衫的小英翻开又一页日历时，不由地楞住了，只见那一页日历上清楚地映着“九月十日，中国教师节”这几个醒目的大字。“教师节”是中国所有的老师共同的节日，这使小英不由地想到了平时对同学们和蔼可亲，慈爱如母的班主任陶老师。陶老师平时教学有方，她从不对同学们所提的课外问题含糊其辞，而是很认真地回答，而是很认真地回答，而且她对同学们十分关怀，记得有一次，在冬天，小英发烧，还是她冒着大雪把小英背到医院的。今天我一定要送给陶老师一件她最满意的礼物!小英暗暗想着：可是送什么呢?这时，小英看见了屋后山坡山的那些野菊花，灵机一动，心想：陶老师不是曾说过她最喜欢菊花吗?今天我就采点野菊花送给她吧!她一定会高兴的。

想着，小英便快步走到了屋后的山坡上。现在虽然是初秋，但是仍有些野菊花正临风傲立着。小英仔细地采着那些花瓣整齐，带有新鲜露珠的花，因为她心想那些一定是最美最香的。采了许多后，小英便把花带回家，用干净的红毛绳系成了一个漂亮的花束，自己头扎蝴蝶结，系好红领巾，背上小书包，手捧花束高高兴兴地上学了。l来到学校，现在才6点50左右，还没有同学来校，可是陶老师已经早早到校，在班里打扫卫生。小英悄悄地来到老师的办公室窗前，窗户是开着的，靠窗边是陶老师的办公桌，上面放着一个地球仪，一瓶“红岩牌”钢笔水，一个展开的日历和一本语文课本，课本上放着一副眼镜。显然，昨晚陶老师一定带着它在微弱的灯光下在为同学们批改着作业。想着陶老师看见花束菊花放进了桌上的笔筒里。而手中的那一束呢?小英要把它当面送给陶老师，伴随着一声“教师节快乐”的问候和一声小小的祝福。

Its fine today. Tom and his family are at a park. The man in white is his father. He is standing by the lake and looking at the boats. The woman in blue is his mother. She is sitting on the grass. Beside his mother is Alice, his sister. She is eating cake. The park is big, and there are many trees and flowers in it. They are having a good time.

盼星星，盼月亮，端午节终于到了，一家人摩拳擦掌忙活起包粽子。前一天早上，妈妈和奶奶把泡好的糯米拿出来，洗好粽子叶，准备开始包粽子。

我从来没包过粽子，于是对妈妈说：“妈妈，我不会包粽子，你能不能教教我呀?”妈妈说：“行，包粽子挺好学的，但是刚开始包很困难，你得耐心点儿。首先，将两片竹叶叠起来，折叠成漏斗形状。注意，卷的时候要尽量地紧，否则煮的时候会漏米。”我跟着妈妈做，把粽子叶叠成一个漏斗。

“然后放入糯米，但是不要放得太满。如果喜欢吃红粽子，可以在里面放一两颗小红枣。”

“在封口之前，先在糯米上撒点水，然后将余下的粽子叶盖在漏斗的大口上，现在粽子变成了一个三角锥形，再用剩下的粽子叶把粽子裹紧。最后用绳子或马兰叶把粽子绑紧。”这一步非常关键，说着简单，做起来难。小小的粽子叶很“调皮”，就是不听我的话，“捉弄”我好半天。在我想把粽子裹紧时，里头总是有米漏出来，气得我哇哇大叫，最后在妈妈的指导下，费了九牛二虎之力，终于包好了一个粽子。尽管形状看起来不是很美观，但这是我包的最好的一个了。

下一步，开始煮粽子了。先把粽子整齐地摆在锅里，把锅帘压在粽子上面，再往锅帘上放一盆水。最后把水顺着锅边倒进去，大火煮40分钟，香喷喷的粽子就出锅了。

到了端午节这天早上，妈妈给我系上了五彩线，还嘱咐我不要随便折断或丢弃，只能在端午节后第一场雨时才能扔掉。妈妈还告诉我了五彩线的来历，它象征着五色龙，可以降伏鬼怪，带走一切疾病。我们还在门口插上艾草，挂上纸葫芦，家里充满了节日的气氛。

早上忙完这些以后，今天的主角——粽子，终于登场了!白白的粽子蘸上白糖，真是又香又甜，又软又黏，好吃极了。

五月五，是端阳，门插艾，香满堂。吃粽子，洒白糖，龙舟下水喜洋洋……

I have a happy family. There are three people in my family， my father， mother and me. My father is a businessman. He is always busy with his work and he often goes to business trips. But when he is free， he stays with us. My mother is a worker. She works hard， too. She works hard to take care of our home. I love my parents

Dear Mr. Blake,

When I told the news to Peter Li, James Wang and Nancy Zhang, the girl who always wears a long hair, and went to Beijing with us last year, they all wish you to send us some pictures of your new house. We hope that when we go on errand in America next year, we can pay a visit to your family. Then we are sure to have a nice gathering.

Yours sincerely,

William Fang

Today is the annual national holiday, is a happy day.

I and my father and mother go to the zoo to play. We entered the park, we saw where the sea of people, like a long queue, more like a happy ocean.

Animal in the zoo is so much! There are cute little bunny, there are bulky gorillas, and that beautiful peacock. There are mandarin ducks in the water play, I throw food to them, they immediately ran over to snatch, really too cute. The most interesting is the monkeys of the iron gate, where they jump and jump, there is a group of macaques in the grab bottle! As long as some people take the bottle to tease them to play, they are very flexible to come to grab. Some naughty little children handed them Coke, they are not polite, took a big mouth to drink up. This is really a group of naughty and smart monkeys!

Go all the way, from time to time the birds flew over my head, twitter, as if to welcome us to come. The river fish in the free to swim, so comfortable, how I hope that they can become a fish, and they can play with them. Today is a good day, I really want to sing, the motherland I love you!

今天是一年一度的国庆节，是个令人开心的日子。

我和爸爸妈妈去动物园玩。我们进了园，就看见那里人山人海，就像是一条长龙，更像是一片欢乐的海洋。

动物园里的动物可真多呀!有可爱的小兔子，有笨重的大猩猩，还有那美丽的孔雀。远处有鸳鸯在水中嬉戏，我扔了食物给它们，它们就立刻跑过来抢食，真是太可爱了。最有趣的就是铁门边的那些猴子，它们在那里跳来跳去，还有一群猕猴在抢瓶子呢!只要有人拿瓶子逗它们玩，它们就很灵活地过来抢。有些顽皮的小孩子递给它们可乐，它们毫不客气，接过就大口大口地喝了起来。这真是一群淘气又聪明的猴子呀!

一路走去，不时有鸟儿在我头上飞过，叽叽喳喳的，好像在欢迎我们的到来。河中鱼儿在自由自在地游着，那么惬意，我多么希望自己也能变成一条鱼儿，可以和它们一起嬉戏。今天真是个好日子，我好想放声歌唱，祖国祖国我爱您!

Since I was very small, I was very shy in the public place, so I always

avoided giving performance in front of so many people. Though I tried hard to

get over it in school, I still felt uneasy in the public place. When I came to

the job market, I realized that I must get over my fear, or I would lose my

stage.

I still remembered the horrible experience for my first interview. Early in

the morning, I got a called that I was given a chance to the job interview. I

felt so excited. When I came to the company, I found there were other six young

people competed with me, then I started to feel nervous. The employers asked us

to sit in the round table and introduced ourselves one by one. When it was my

turn, I lowed down my head and spoke in low voice. Then the employers continued

to let us give speeches in the stage. I lose confidence and made the horrible

performance.

This interview taught me a lesson that I must get over my fear, or I will

lose chances. So I practise hard and dare to stand in the stage.

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
