如今,随着科技的发展,人们的工作更加有效率了,一些传统的手工活就被遗弃了。例如,剪纸——经典的中国文化艺术。它有着悠久的.历史,外国人也对这令人惊叹的作品印象深刻。而对于年轻一代来说,他们中的大多数人都不知道这门艺术是怎样完成的,他们只是从新闻和一些照片上了解过。传统文化正在被人们遗忘,我们有义务把它作为国家宝藏的一部分保存下来。虽然科技促进了我们生活的发展,但是我们不能放弃自己的文化,应该举办更多的活动让人们更了解我们的文化。
假定你是李华,你的新西兰朋友Terry将去中国朋友家做客,发邮件向你询问有关习俗。
请你回复邮件,内容包括:
1.到达时间;
2.合适的礼物;
3.餐桌礼仪。
注意:
1.词数100左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
