参考答案: On the Spring Festival Gala The coming of the Chinese Lunar New Year puts forward a long-lasting debate — the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes. Many people deem that the Spring Festival Gala should be canceled or replaced by other programs. Especially the young people, who focus their attention on other new forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. While others, mainly the mid-aged and the senior, view this gala as an annual essence on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve, when they will all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television. I am not supportive of the view that the gala should be canceled. Undoubtedly, it needs some improvements to win more favors from its young audiences. But in view of its established status and its vital role in the celebration of the Spring Festival, the gala deserves a period to perfect itself.
