1.现在国内有不少人喜欢过西方的某些节日。
2.产生这种现象的原因。
3.这种现象可能带来的影响。

In recent years many Chinese people like to celebrate western festivals.Even some youngsters are paying as great attention to Christmas as our Spring Festival.In addition,other western festivals,like April Fool's day and Valentine's Day,are very popular among Chinese people.

Many reasons contribute to this phenomenon.Among them,relaxing and comfortable atmosphere from western festivals plays a critical role.Moreover,more and more Chinese people begin to learn English,which provides them with more chances to be exposed to western culture and festivals.Besides,many businessman desperately try to boost the atmosphere of foreign festivals to attract more customers.

As far as I am concerned ,our paying too much attention to western festivals will bring some side effects .The popularity of western festivals to some extent has influence our traditions.Therefore,I suggest that people should not be immersed too much in the western festivals but ignore Chinese traditional festivals.
