------题目------
Rituals and ceremonies help define a culture. Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are.
------正文------
(you’d better add “I agree with the speaker that”)Along the development of the human beings , ritual and ceremonies which(grammar mistake, delete ‘which’) as a part of lives and essence of thoughts of people, play an important role in helping define the culture of a society or a group of people. However, since our human beings has a history of thousands of years(“with thousands of years’ history of human beings”), the culture is in(for the second time, you mistakenly use ‘in’, it should be ’to’ instead) some extent mature (nearly in every people in the world). (Therefore)It is questionable that the disappearance of some rituals and ceremonies would diminish the sense of who they are.
Rituals and ceremonies may originated (might originate from) some (delete ‘some’) adoration to some jennies(The female of certain animals, especially the donkey and the wren.雌性动物:雌性动物,尤指驴和鹪鹩)(是这个意思吗?by the way,这个也可以作为崇拜的对象??我不是很了解!) or the totems of a distinct group of people. (可以看作是culture的第一个方面吗?-----即语言&文字等)In ancient times, divided by geographical factor, every group of people may (might) construct a distinct system of the language, the communication and the decorum and so on (a system of language, way to communicate, decorum and so on). (Besides), (可以看作是culture的第二个方面吗?)When they feel(feeling) puzzled at some unexplainable phenomena, they appeal(appealed) to the preternatural powers and use their own way that distinguished them to another group to immolate and sacrifice(我觉得有点自相矛盾了, 既然已经说由于地理原因而分开了, 就无” distinguished them to another group”)(改为and used their own special way to express this kind of feelings更好些!). Thus, the rituals and ceremonies is reasonable to be part of (one people’s distinct) culture supported by other aspect (?去掉如何?). (这一段主要在讲文化的特殊性,is that right?)
(我觉得另启一段会更好些^_^) Besides, more or less under the influence of the religion(因为ritual and ceremony不一定与religion有关吧?), rituals and ceremonies that make(s) individuals feel festive, solemn, or even sorrow may be a celebration to a unique of conquer, a installment of president or a funeral of the important individual. The form of every ritual or ceremony would vary itself from another through the language, the art form or the people's feeling. So the rituals and ceremonies has solid connection to the cultures, that is, the two helped defining a culture.(你的本意, 如果没猜错的话, 是要分两个方面来论证ritual and ceremony could help define a culture which is distinct to others,但是我觉得完全可以改为: 论证culture让人有一种民族的归属感, 既然你已经提到feel festive, solemn,)
To my point of view above, the rituals and ceremonies are only parts of cultures, which cannot decisively(exclusively) influence the feel of people relation to the identity(as well as their identities 猜对否?). First, when you meet a person, you perceive the background of him or her, not only by the rituals and ceremonies that held by the group he or she belongs (to). What impressed you deeply(换为most, ok?) is the culture which as a whole differentiated from yours. Why? Because the art(感觉有些像托福的style,^_^), the behavior, the language, the vogue is developing parallel to the history of human beings. Some unique symbols of culture disappeared , such as ritual and ceremonies , some other signs that would indicate their unique would originated at the same time.(我觉得这段可以用一句话代替: First, when you meet a person, you could perceive his/her cultural background with more intrinsic aspects like his/her manner, accent or even loved art or vogue than ritual and ceremonies which could not indicate their cultural uniqueness )
(完全是另外一个方面, 故另启一段)However, we have not obtained the concept that whether the sense of who they are would be diminished. With the highly developing techniques(technology), the facile(good!^_^) connection such as the computer and the IP phone made us an integrity ever than before. And the transportation that is highly convenient gives the possibility to observe and understand a series of various cultures. It is the nature of people to be curious of different cultures. They may imitate, absorb, then with their own back ground, (form) a new kind of culture that mingle with another engendered. The people would feel even more distinctive to other groups of people with new-born mixed culture. So we cannot obtain the conclusion (注意了, 越来越像argument了! 这可是个大问题啊!!)(我觉得这里可以直接提出自己的观点: they could not get the diminished sense of who they are. GRE需要自己的确定的观点,而不是模糊不清的观点! 不知对不对,有待讨论!^_^) whether the group of people will get diminished sense of who they are only ascribed to the disappearance of rituals and ceremonies.(??)
In sum, we can reach the conclusion that the rituals and ceremonies have in fact helped define a culture, which distinguished a group of people from another. However, sense of who they are is doubtfully diminished, since the other parts of culture and burgeon of new and mixed culture influence the sense as the same way. |
