这是twe里面比较难写的一篇,写得很不错 绝对能的六分 大家看看吧 [b]============================= [b]185)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Dancing plays [b]an important role in a culture. Use specific reasons and examples to [b]support your answer. [b]舞蹈在文化中起到重要的作用,同意与否? [b][b]Around the world, people gather to explore their emotions through dance. [b]The dances are created as part of celebrations, as religious services, as [b]preparation for challenging hunts and warfare and to express sorrow (less [b]often than the other situations). Indeed, dance does play an important [b]role within a culture and reveals a wide range of information about the [b]characteristics of a culture. Three of the most revealing aspects of dance [b]are the nature of the culture's symbols and art forms revealed in costumes [b]and equipment, the body language (moves and gestures) which give [b]information about social contact behaviors and frequently the style of [b]preferred music for the culture. [b]Ethnic dances, and certainly popular dancing, anywhere around the world [b]have associated preferences for costumes and special clothing. Through [b]dancing, the participants are able to reveal and express their chosen role [b]in the garments they choose; social roles in the dance are shown public [b]ally to the observers as well as the other dancers. Frequently dancers [b]utilize objects like swords or sticks or hoops or musical instruments to [b]further reveal information about their role in the social story portrayed [b]in the dance. Items such as special headwear and jewelry are further [b]examples of the garments that in general express preferences and [b]culturally significant details about the particular culture. [b]Dancers, by the very nature of the activity, physically express beliefs [b]and attitudes associated with their specific culture. In many dances the [b]participants are modeling typical activities of their culture and thus [b]imparting instructions and historical information to the audience. In [b]other dances, one can see expressions of deep emotion: love, worship, [b]grief, strength, anger, etc. and thus obtain clues about the inner [b]feelings of the culture's individuals. Dance provides an opportunity for [b]others to witness some of the special behaviors associated with activities [b]in the culture. Also, dance is a (usually) public statement so that [b]observers can see how members of the culture treat those who are older [b]members of the opposite sex, more respected members, etc. [b]The third aspect of dance that reveals much about a culture is the music [b]or singing that is typically a part of the event. Observers can see [b]evidence of the of the types of instruments characteristics of the [b]culture, and who plays these instruments as well as how they are used -- [b]instruments may be associated only with special events and thus transmit [b]valuable cultural information. Frequently singing is part of a dance [b]program, and again an observer has an opportunity to observe who is [b]singing and the nature of the voices. I found this aspect of dance [b]particularly fascinating during a brief time I spent in a rural village in [b]Zimbabwe a few years ago. [b]Dancing is indeed a very important aspect of any culture. It provides a [b]communal opportunity for members of the culture to artistically express [b]emotions while acting out typical activities and concerns in their world. [b]For outsider observers, many valuable details about the culture are [b]revealed。
