It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the societys performance. Besides, we should draw more peoples attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger support we can get from the public.In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.贰 假如你叫李华，最近你的美国笔友Tony要来北京体验中国传统文化，请根据他的问题回复邮件，为他设计北京一日游活动，帮助他体验中国传统文化。请描述你们打算去的地方、具体的活动安排、以及这样安排的理由。提示词语：traditional Chinese culture, tea house, Peking Opera, paper cutting【参考范文1】Hi, Tony!Im glad that you will come to Beijing soon.
