Task：Many customs and traditional ways of behavior are not relevant to modern life and are not worthy keeping. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
参考范文：
A growing number of customs and traditional cultures have disappeared gradually, with the progress of our society. People, especially among teenagers, hold conflicting views about whether all these traditional norms should be inherited generation by generation. Personally, the valuable traditions our ancestors passed down to us, with no doubt, should be preserved.
Preserving traditional culture is not equal to sacrificing modern conveniences, and there is no denying that respecting tradition is the prerequisite for future progress. Modern civilizations, admittedly, stand for the development of times. However, human beings are bound to learn valuable experience from what happened in the past. Accordingly, historical legacies should be at least equally crucial with the current cultures, if not more than. Undeniably, some conventional customs exert positive effects on the harmoniousness of families. Specifically, in the Spring festival, Chinese people will reunite together with their families no matter where they have worked, just for enjoying the sense of belongings. Moreover, the moral values and virtues passed on from our forefathers have the educational functions like teaching us how to be respectful to elders and responsible for your family and even the whole country
However, some obsolete traditional culture dross which may impede the advancement of a nation do exist. For example, females would find it difficult to pursue a job and males would be laughed for staying at home looking after their children in the past decades. Thanks for the modern culture that advocates the equal rights between men and women. The labor market is full of the well-educated female workforce.
In conclusion, despite some outdated culture leftovers, stepping up efforts to preserve historical heritages which are, to some extent, on the verge of extinction, is extremely imperative. Modern culture, however, should coexist peacefully with traditions and not be neglected.
