There is no denying that the cultural exchanges are playing a more and more important role in the modern world. Firstly, let’s have a look at the picture. A foreign lady is making a traditional Chinese painting of bamboos. It seems that she is totally indulged in her painting.
The picture shows that people from foreign countries are interested in our traditional Chinese culture. They not only appreciate the traditional Chinese paintings, music, costume, etc, but also begin to learn to how to make them. In this way, they hope to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture and thus can know the country better. Since our country became more open, our Chinese government has made great efforts to promote all kinds of exchanges with the outside world. These exchanges range from economics and education to culture. The cultural exchanges play a more and more important part in our life. Many channels are open for the foreigners to learn our traditional art. They can take some courses in some special schools and many professionals can be their teachers.
In my opinion, the cultural exchange is good to all of us. It is an efficient way to introduce our Chinese culture to the world. In this way, people in the foreign countries can know more and more about China. Some biased views about our country can be dispelled.

In the modern world, mental health has become a matter of great concern. Firstly, let’s look at the pictures above. There are four pictures, which give us some advice about how to be in good mental health. The first picture tells us that happiness depends not on what you have, but on what you can give. The second one shows that you cannot decide what the weather is like, but you can decide what mood you are in. The third one shows that you should examine your own words and deeds before correcting the others. The fourth one shows you should not be always upset and should say to yourself everyday, ” I’m really good.”
These pictures indicate that we should try to be in good mental health. Nowadays, it is a common phenomenon that people go to have some psychological consultations. This is because people in the modern world are facing great pressure from work and life. Being depressed for a long time, some problems will come out in people’s mental health. These problems will do great harm. They may cause some health problems and affect our daily life and work. To be a healthy person, mental health seems to be more important.
To become a real healthy modern man, we should take the advice of the pictures. Besides, we should remember some important points. Firstly, we should be open with people. Talk with your family and your friends when you meet some difficulties. Secondly, we should be sympathetic. Since we are a part of a society, we should be concerned with it. Thirdly, we should spend some time in reading, listening to the music and learning to lessen our pressure. In this way, we can become a healthy modern man, ready to take on any challenges.
