An American girl in traditional Chinese costume
The picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face. She wears ribbons, necklaces and other accessories that are characteristic of the clothes of a certain Chinese minority group. Undoubtedly, the costume has added oriental charm to her beautiful features.
What the picture conveys goes far beyond merely a new fashion trend. In fact, it carries cultural implications as well. The fact that people from different countries are attracted to the mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. In other words, a nation’s unique culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchange. Since the trend of globalization has become irresistible, increasing cultural exchange can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship between countries.
It is my view that national culture should be preserved and cherished as a priceless spiritual treasure. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate for internationalized culture, for those ideas from other cultures, though controversial or even absurd at first sight, can in the long run provide a different perspective for us to observe the world. Nevertheless, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its virtues and to resist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our world multidimensional, colorful and vigorous. (233 words)

这幅图画生动地描述了一位可爱的美国女孩身穿传统的服装，面带甜蜜的微笑。她戴着具有某个少数民族服饰特色的发带、项链和其他装饰品。毫无疑问，这套服装为 她美丽的外表增添了东方的魅力。
这幅图画所表达的远远不只是一种新的时尚潮流。反之，它还具有文化内涵。神秘的 文化吸引了各国人民这一事实表明，在某种程度上一种文化可以在国际范围内被接受、 尊重、欣赏和分享。换言之，一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世 界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡，所以国家间日益频繁的文化交流可以有效增进相互间的理解和友谊。
在我看来，我们应该保存和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时，我们很有必要推 广世界文化，因为来自其他文化的观点，即使乍看起来相互矛盾或甚至很荒谬，但从长远看来，可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。然而，在我们面临不同文化时，应该充 满理智地取其精华、去其糟粕。只有这样我们才能积极发展民族文化，并使我们的世界丰富多元、多姿多彩、充满活力。
