Issue207"Rituals and ceremonies help define a culture. Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are."
In human's culture, there are distinct rituals and ceremonies, which were developed from the ancient time. Different people have their own cultures, which includes (including) various ceremonies and rituals. By understanding and defining their rituals and ceremonies, people can have a sense of what (who) they are. Moreover, cultures also contain many other comments, which also can help individuals and societies define their cultures. (which从句太多了,哪怕用两个分词或者是that换换形式也好呀)
In the first place, different cultures have distinct rituals and ceremonies.(这句话和本文第一句重复了) As is known to all, cultures are developed through the growing of human. Different people or societies in the world have their own different cultures.(这句话和第一句话重复了) Meanwhile, different rituals and ceremonies have existed (exist) in the cultures. Take the South Korea for example. In the beginning of a new year, people in the country (Koreans) have a ritual to celebrate their Spring Festive, while people in western countries have Christmas Day. (举Korean的例子,干吗把西方人一起带进来?) In the ritual, people have the habit to eat some delicious food, wear new clothes, buy something which can foresee the fortune in the next year, and so on. (我不太明白你为什么要举Koreans而不举Chinese过春节的例子,虽然说中国的例子要少举,但那是因为老美不熟悉,而中国人过春节,只要有点文化的老美应该都知道吧?再说了,这是自己国家的ritual,再怎么说都比较好写吧) Also, in the western countries, people have ceremonies in the wedding. (直接说wedding ceremonies) People choose to go to churches to hold these ceremonies of wedding (wedding ceremonies). But in the (some) eastern countries, people do not like to hold the ceremonies of wedding in churches (我觉得这里用like不好,一些东方人只是没有这个习惯,不能说他们不喜欢,现在一些MM很向往在教堂里结婚呢). Therefore, there are various rituals and ceremonies in different cultures on the Earth.(又一次了。。。)
By understanding the rituals and ceremonies in people's cultures, societies or groups can know what(who) they are. People, especially the youth, need to understand their own rituals and ceremonies in order to get the knowledge of their cultures. Japanese is a good instance to prop up the point of view.(??我不知道举小日本的例子好不好,反正在reading里面,ETS对于小日子给的全是负评价) In the recent years, Japanese, especially the young people,(和people, especially the youth类似了) do not know well of their traditional rituals or ceremonies. In every April, people in Japan usually to recall in mind their family members, who are already dead. This ritual is the typical one in the world. But many Japanese forget this ritual, and they gradually forget their culture.(不祭祖宗就忘记文化吗?文化有很多个方面哟) It is said that Japanese, who forget this ritual, are not real Japanese. At the same time, every university has a distinct ceremony when some students graduate. Harvard University has a special ceremony, where many (every) students has a speech of their(his or her) past and future. When students in Harvard University remember this ceremony, they can know they are the students in Harvard and feel proud. Thus, rituals and ceremonies can help people, societies, or groups understand what(who) they are.(从你举的例子里看不出societies通过rituals对于自身的认识)
Moreover, cultures also contain other something else to help people to have a sense of what they are. It is a common sense that cultures contain other things(和第一句重复了), such as music, painting, language, novel, poem, movie, and so on. By studying and understanding these factors, people can better understand their cultures and have a sense of what(who) they are. In order to understand the gist of the statement, it is necessary to see two examples. Austria is famous for its music, and people living in this country hear much and different music everyday. Meanwhile, movie is very popular in USA, such as Gone With the Wind, Die Another Day, etc. In order to understand the American culture, there is a need to watch and study its movies. As a result, by understanding the other factors except rituals and ceremonies in different cultures people can have a better sense of what (who)they are.(我觉得你可以多举些例子,什么绘画啊,诗歌啊,都可以的,然后最后在来一个分析加总结,现在Austria的例子等于是浪费了,因为只是一个现象,没有实质的分析,而和后面美国的例子联系不大)
To sum up, different cultures have various rituals and ceremonies. (又一个。。。)Through studying and understanding these rituals and ceremonies, people can know what(who) they are. Also are there other important comments in different cultures, and societies or groups can have a sense of what(who) they are by studying and understanding these comments.
整体感觉,文章的思路蛮清楚的,但就是用词和句式太单一了,以至于你的分析都没法深入彻底下去,例子方面应该很好收集的,加强点分析就更好了,加油!! |
