說(shuō)到國(guó)家傳統(tǒng)，不得不說(shuō)這九個(gè)中國(guó)人喜聞樂(lè)見(jiàn)的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日：春節(jié)、元宵節(jié)、清明節(jié)、端午節(jié)、七夕節(jié)、中元節(jié)、中秋節(jié)、重陽(yáng)節(jié)和臘八節(jié)。
這些傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的背后，原來(lái)竟隱藏著那么多冷知識(shí)，比如，屈原自己其實(shí)都過(guò)端午節(jié)；春節(jié)的歷史其實(shí)也就100多年；元宵節(jié)在古代其實(shí)是情人節(jié)；牛郎和織女其實(shí)沒(méi)啥關(guān)系；古人過(guò)清明其實(shí)相當(dāng)歡樂(lè)··· ···
很多同學(xué)容易混淆傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日（tradition）和風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣（custom）的意思，傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日應(yīng)該是舉國(guó)歡慶或紀(jì)念的節(jié)日，而風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣應(yīng)該是個(gè)人或集體的傳統(tǒng)禮節(jié)，是在特定的社會(huì)文化區(qū)域舉行的民族風(fēng)俗、節(jié)日禮儀等。
大家都知道，中國(guó)是一個(gè)有著悠久歷史和古老文化的國(guó)家，一些傳統(tǒng)甚至可以追溯到幾千年前，而當(dāng)下是全球化浪潮席卷全世界的趨勢(shì)，很多文化傳統(tǒng)、傳統(tǒng)思想的傳承往往跟不上風(fēng)云變幻的時(shí)代速度，如何讓這類(lèi)的悠久國(guó)家傳統(tǒng)在口語(yǔ)考試中讓考官眼前一亮呢？
除了在豐富詞匯量和地道表達(dá)上下功夫，還可以加入一些關(guān)于傳統(tǒng)的趣味科普，很容易提起考官的興趣。
在涉及“傳統(tǒng)”的口語(yǔ)話題是很多同學(xué)的軟肋，因?yàn)檫@一類(lèi)的話題沒(méi)有一定的詞匯功底和出彩的句型是無(wú)法表達(dá)好的，當(dāng)然，如果具備有一定的文化常識(shí)和對(duì)社會(huì)傳統(tǒng)的思考會(huì)使整個(gè)表達(dá)更容易得高分。
