[AI生成]Western festivals outshine Chinese festivals

　　This afternoon, everyone strongly believes that we should pay more attention to celebrating Chinese traditional festivals. First of all, Chinese traditional festivals are an important part of our culture, such as the Spring Festival, Water-Splashing Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival. During the Spring Festival, we have family reunions; during the Water-Splashing Festival, we share water with children and watch them play together. These activities not only help us build warm family bonds but also let us remember our ancestors' customs and stories.

　　Second, traditional festivals are rich in traditional costumes and are connected with the nation. For example, during the Qingming Festival, we call for a spring outing, which allows us to enjoy the beauty of nature and relax ourselves. These activities are good for both our body and mind. I am sure that every Chinese person doesn't need to chase Western festivals. Instead, we should first carry forward our own country's traditions. So we firmly hold the view that we should attach great importance to Chinese traditional festivals.

　　Good afternoon, esteemed judges, fellow debaters and audience. We, the opposition, respectfully disagree with the proposition that Chinese festivals outshine Western festivals. We acknowledge the importance of the arguments put forward by the affirmative side, but at this point, there are some shortcomings.

　　Our team firmly believes that Western festivals outshine Chinese festivals. First, Western festivals allow you to celebrate your friends, your mood and your style. For example, you can wear fancy costumes at Halloween. Then you go from house to house asking for candy and say "trick or treat," which can bring more fun than just meeting relatives or talking with some you are not familiar with.

　　Second, Western festivals not only bring joy but also have educational value. The Double Ninth Festival teaches us to respect the elders, just as Western Father's Day and Mother's Day express gratitude to our parents. This aligns with the traditional Chinese virtue of filial piety and respect for the elderly.

　　Furthermore, the main purpose of celebrating Western festivals is to learn about tolerance. We should build an interconnected and jointly developing world. As China steps onto the global stage, we are spreading Chinese culture, and we should also learn the essence of foreign cultures. In conclusion, we don't celebrate Western festivals to forget our roots but to expand our horizons.

　　Our team still insists that Western festivals outshine Chinese festivals. Thank you.
