　　Last but not least, diverse cultures have met in China as a consequence of globalization. Therefore, a clash of cultures bees inevitable. Unfortunately, the past decades have witnessed a huge loss of cultural heritage in China. In cities like Beijing and Xiamp。39。jails,amp。re already in the Eastern Suburbs,amp。ve loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.
　　My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some international students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenly an international student asked me, amp。英語口語比賽演講稿　　參加英語口語演講比賽不僅能提高口語能力，還能鍛煉膽量，做到大聲說，不退縮。39。quot。quot。 the campuses were just part of the cities. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede Chinaamp。 In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy。quot。s, KFCs, soccer players and NBA players. And we are even having this prestigious national speaking petition in a language that does not belong to us. In the midst of western products pouring in China as a result of globalization, sometimes we do wonder, where does our own culture belong? When we see our younger generations going away from traditional values such as contextual and rolebased ethics, ideal of munity, hierarchy, paternalism and nonlitigious nature of society, we may even think our traditional values are challenged and even threatened. But, are we really losing our values?

But, have you ever wondered how many nonChinese are learning Chinese? Let me tell you, by the end of 20xx, nearly 30 million people from 85 countries and regions were learning standard Chinese, Putonghua.

In these two years, I am sure none of us here will be surprised that the number is skyrocketing.

And I guess some of you still remember, when the previous American president, Bill Clinton, first became president. He actually had the furniture of his office rearranged according to feng shui ideas.
　　Have a look at traditional Chinese medicine. Four years ago, in 20xx, there were already more than 120 000 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, researchers and related business trading panies in Europe, just Europe.
