2006年12月23日大学英语六级考试作文范文及点评：
Western festivals gain ever-increasing popularity in China. A growing number of people in China are immersed in the thrilling atmosphere of the upcoming Christmas. In comparison with the Spring Festival, the equally high status is given t-o Christmas by some of them.
There are a variety of factors contributing to this craze (trend). First, younger age groups are exposed to western culture and lifestyles through learning English. And festivals are regarded as the highlight of western culture. For example, Valentine's Day provides a vehicle for young adults to show their love. Second, the advancement of economy enables Chinese people to possess increased purchasing power. They are heavily targeted by businessmen, who view foreign festivals as golden opportunities to make money. So they desperately try to boost the atmosphere of foreign festivals.
The necessity of celebrating these foreign festivals is widely questioned. People involved are to blame for their loose traditional values. Our home-grown festivals play crucial roles in Chinese traditional culture. However, their foreign counterparts are exerting strong influence on people's values and thoughts. There is no doubt that we should give our priority to Chinese traditional festivals.

本次作文的类型属于现象--解释型文体。无论在体裁还是题材上都在大家的意料之中。难度并不是很大，从命题角度来说，是比较成功的，基本能达到考查学生写作能力的要求。
从体裁上来看，属于解释一个现象的体裁。根据题目要求，考生分别需要写出现象描述、原因剖析以及影响分析等三个段落。文章的结构非常清晰，非常明确。这对于一般考生来说，并不是十分困难。能否取得高分的关键就是看考生的语言表达是否准确，以及作文中是否出现闪光点。
从题材上来看，本次作文的话题是谈谈对西方节日的看法。和以往的六级考试作文的题材一样，依旧侧重于社会话题，而且是考生耳熟能详的话题，这就意味着当考生拿到这个作文题目的时候有话可说，有话可写。所以对于以后备考六级的考生来说，社会话题依然是需要重点关注和准备的。
