傳統話題涵蓋的領域極為寬泛，無論是談論人物、描述事物、還是敘述經歷，tradition都是一個很活躍的展開點。比如要談論活動(events)，那么活動具有的傳統習俗(traditional ritual)是一個較好的切入點;再比如談論婚禮，傳統婚禮模式(traditional wedding)和西方婚禮模式(western wedding)之間的差異和互補就是一個必講的要點。
上一講中，我們討論了傳統話題在雅思口試第一階段中出現的話題模式、答題要求及應對技巧和策略。在這一講中，專家將繼續探討“傳統”話題在口試第二、三階段中所扮演的角色。筆者將按照“傳統”話題系統分類，并進行一一列舉，給出真題實例及參考答案。

【回答】: The Spring Festival is the most important traditional Chinese festival and it is also my favorite holiday. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family gets together and has a wonderful supper. After supper, the elders give the children lucky money with which the young can buy whatever they want. During the Spring Festival, people visit their relatives and wish each other ’Happy New Year’. Throughout the Spring Festival, everyone is much more friendly and kinder than at any other time of the year, and you feel that the world is full of love. During the Spring Festival, since there is no school, the children always walk in the streets in groups, singing and laughing. Sometimes they set off firecrackers and generally have a good time. The young always go shopping or go to the parks together, or they stay at home and enjoy special TV programs. There is a peaceful and happy atmosphere.
擴展信息：Changes about celebrating the festival:
going out to have a get-together dinner or party in restaurants instead of big exhausting home dinner;
making a phone call to one’s friends and relatives or sending e-mails or forwarding short messages by cell phone to express good wishes instead of troublesome visiting;
taking the advantages of modern communication devices to improve the efficiency
