culture,intensifies childrens pride in theirChinese identity.All is well that roots well.Besides,preserving andpassing down Chinese traditions helps strengthen the family bond.To aChinese,east or west,home(more of a Chinese home)is best.It is natural,or inevitable,to become a global citizen living in the ever-shrinking global village,where we behave globally and think globally.But,ones native culture should always be valued.This is not justbecause it is something we are born with or something we live with;it is,more importantly,a matter of global harmony,to which every countrysculture contributes.Global harmony is not the duplication of one singlevoice.Rather,it is the coexistence of different voices.While enrichingthe world with irreplaceable thought and value systems,a countrysculture and traditions are also nourishing its citizens with confidence andwisdom in dealing with the increasingly complicated international issues.Reading 2Language

loss of one language will definitely narrowour perspective of thinking.Many institutions and individuals are strivinghard to save endangered languages in order to maintain the diversity ofcultures.However,this has not prevented the vanishing of languages atan alarmingly increasing rate.Meanwhile,language enables people to exchange traditions,ideas,andviews more effectively.Social connections and global perspectives areestablished mainly through the use of language,which enables globalcitizens to face global challenges together.So,the inability of usinglanguage to communicate with others would inevitably become a barrierto global citizenship.Integrated thinkingThe relationship between national identity and global identity is not in4conflict.The foundation for global citizenship is the recognition of theequal and inalienable rights of all human beings.That is,every globalcitizen is accountable for the well-being of humans both inside andoutside his/her own country.Global citizens take action together todefeat poverty,protect the planet,and improve equity,all of whichrequire a global solution and concerted action.With joint efforts,themultiplicity and diversity of humans are recognized and respected.A global citizen is supposed to recognize the shared beliefs and interestsof all human beings and retain his/her national identity.For example,Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela made great contribution to the elimination ofracial discrimination.Meanwhile,he promoted the development of hismotherland South Africa.Culture mosaic1 GCED:Global Citizenship

global citizens.Third,think about what actions we can take to impact others.To upholdthe rights of global citizens living in different countries,we should makesure the actions we take will not benefit one group of people at theexpense of others.2 Chinese sci-fi film:The Wandering EarthLets pick the series of films entitled The Matrix.The series imagines 。
