Therefore / In short / To sum up / In a word, … Social Insights A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. Nowadays, some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant, but not everyone is keen on this idea. What do our readers think? 传统该不该变? 年度饭是象节的一项重要传境。如今，有些人选择在饭店吃年 夜饭，不过，不是每个人都支持这一想法。读者朋友们，你们 怎么看呢? Dear Editor, 1 We have eaten out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no Iess than eating at home. I don't understand why some people refuse to embrace the change. 尊敬的编辑， 最近三年，我家都是在外面吃年夜饭的，和在家吃比起 来，在外面吃样开心。 我不理解为什么有些人拒绝接受 改变。 2 Can't they admit that the preparations for the dinner are hard work? I really don't think it's worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up the mess after it's ower. We work all year, so why can't one day be about spending time with family and relaxing? 难道他们不觉得准备年夜饭很辛苦吗?化这么长时间准备 顿饭， 饭后再花一个小时收拾， 我真心觉得不值。辛苦 _年了，为什么不能用这一天的时间陪陪家人， 放松放 松呢? 3 Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do with loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that tiring cooking, and the dishes taste better! 在外面吃年夜饭是个挺好的选择，而且这也谈不上丢弃 传统。我们还是和同样的人起吃饭， 只是换了地方面已。 不用辛苦地做饭，用餐会更加愉快，而且( 饭店的)饭菜 味道也更好! 4 In my opinion, what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve really doesn't matter. Fating out may change the form of this tradition, but the love between the family members stting around the table together remains the same. 在我看来，除夕夜我们吃什么、在哪里吃，真的不重要。 在外面的饭店吃年夜饭可能改变了这个传统的表现形式， 但是围坐在餐桌前的家人之间的亲情并没有改变。 王鹏，软件工程师 Dear Editor, 1 For this year's Spring Festival family dinner, my son has booked a table at the best restaurant in town, but I'm a bit unhappy about it. For me, it just won't feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out. 尊敬的编辑， 今年我儿子在城里最好的饭店订了桌年夜饭，可我 不怎么高兴。对我来说。在外面吃年夜饭就不像 过年。 2 WhenI was a lttle boy, the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what I looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together. I would run around the house, listening to the adults chatting about their year. I'd get under my mother's feet in the kitchen, watching her make dumplings. She'd put tokens in some dumplings: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening, all of us would sit around the table, enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other, we laughed, and the simple, homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef. 小时候，我最期待的就是除夕的年夜饭，不仅可以吃到平时难以吃到的美食，而且 全家人能有机会团聚在一起。那时我会在家里跑来跑去，听大人们闲聊他们这一年 的情况。 我还会缠着在厨房做饭的妈妈，看她包饺子。她会在有些饺子里放-点儿 “彩头”:糖果寓意生活甜美，花生代表健康长寿。到了晚上。我们都围坐在餐桌前， 享受美食和团圆的乐趣。大家互相敬酒，谈笑风生。简简单单的家常菜吃起来比顶 级大厨做的菜都要美味。 3 I hope my children and their children will still value our memories of preparing the dinner together. To me, the process is even more important than the dinner itself. Liu Yonghui, retired teacher 我希望我的子孙后代依旧珍视全家人一-起做年夜饭的回忆。 对我来说，准备的过程甚至比年夜饭本身更重要。 刘永辉，退休教师 Writing a letter to express ideas Activity 5 Read the editorial and answer the questions. 1.
