Culture is the crystal of a national character and soul. It is widely acknowledged that the Chinese culture is an important aspect of the country’s opening up and maintaining a close relationship with the rest of the world.
Over the past five years, many international cultural events were held, such as the China Shanghai International Arts Festival, the Beijing Music Festival, the International Festival of Intangible Cultural Heritage Chengdu, the China Xinjiang International Dance Festival, the China International Chorus Festival, the China Wuqiao International Circus Festival, and the Silk Road International Arts Festival. These activities have not only enhanced the relations between Chinese and international artists, but also provided them with good opportunities to learn from each other. Through international platforms like UNESCO, China has also strengthened its participation in multilateral cultural communication and cooperation.
A series of policies for promoting Chinese culture overseas have reflected culture’s increasing importance, which also make clear our mission to improve the nation’s soft power by delivering a favorable impression of China to the world and promoting communication between people. 【写作内容】

In the past five years, many international cultural events and the government policies have highlighted culture’s increasing importance, which have boosted multilateral cultural exchange and promoted Chinese culture to the world.
Where a nation’s power is concerned, culture is acknowledged as a key component. Promoting Chinese culture does not only benefit our nation’s development but also proves a must in the process of globalization. Delivering our culture to the world encourages cooperation between civilizations, which thus promotes mutual understanding.
In order to push forward cultural exchange, new approaches should be explored to make further contributions towards promoting Chinese culture and meanwhile enhancing China’s soft power.In terms of our government, the Belt and Road Initiative provides a platform for great chances. Combined efforts can be made through involvement in international cooperation. Also,more culture centers overseas can be established, presenting the essence of our culture and portraying national image.

M:I’ve seen a big change in her. She used to be very outgoing and sociable but now she is having problems withother children at school. Now she is totally someone else. W:Really?
M:Yes, now she is quiet and doesn’t want to talk to anyone else. Her teacher said things are going backward in her study.
W:Her parents must be very anxious about her.
M:No, not really, both of them are too busy to worry about their daughter. I think I need to talk to them and ask them to spend more time with Helen.
W:Take it easy. It is something natural. I was outgoing when I was a little girl, but became very shy in teenage years, so don’t be nervous about your niece.
M:Maybe you are right, but I will talk with my brother anyway.

M:Yeah. We’ve been playing and singing together since we were young. Dad took us to hear the great bands playing live. Mel and I put onshows at school. But Mum didn’t want us to get too serious about our music. She thought we should concentrate on our study. However, we were still enthusiastic about our music.

M:Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you for your listening. I’m Doctor Reid. Today I will discuss the effect of sleep on school students with you. The first thing is whether a lack of sleep affects teenagers. The answer is ―Yes‖. Many teenagers are getting little sleep and there are concerns that this could have a serious long-term effect on their health but we don’t know for sure yet. Researchers are also looking into how far a lack of sleep affects young people with low spirits. But one study has clearly shown that high school students getting low grades also get on average one hour less sleep than students getting As. Then why aren’t teenagers getting enough sleep? It’s a problem that seems to affect all teenagers, not just the ones who eat the wrong things or who don’t take any exercise. I think too many teenagers watch TV in their rooms or play computer games until very late. Some students say they stay up late because they can’t get to sleep if they go to bed earlier. Well, don’t have any soft drinks or any drinks that include hot chocolate before sleeping. Reading a book you know well or listening to a story, rather than music, should help your brain to relax. So you shouldn’t do your homework just before going to sleep. It would be better for schools to stay open for longer so that pupils can do their homework before they get home. Another thing that some schools have tried successfully is to begin the school day half an hour later and end the school day half an hour later, which seems like a good idea to me, and I really recommend that.
