Different people have different views on the Spring Festival Gala. Some prefer the view that it suits most audience’s taste. Others tend to believe it should be cancelled. As to me, I agree to the first / second opinion.
    Of course, about four-hour-long programs will make some people feel a bit bored. For example, the forms of most programs which lack originality are familiar to the audience and cannot attract the audience. But in my opinion, there is no denying that many people still have a strong feeling for it. The following reasons can account for my argument.
    Firstly, it adds to fun and excitement and makes a happy festival atmosphere. A good example to illustrate is cross talks and other comic performances that always bring people a lot of laughter. In addition / Moreover / What’s more, the directors are trying hard to figure out the solution to the obvious changes of the audience’s tastes. To conclude, I think the Spring Festival Gala is still an indispensable part of the Chinese New Year’s Eve.

The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.
Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance. The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives. Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television. From liuxuepaper.com.
I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned. Undoubtedly, it plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year. To increase its appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite some big names including super stars from Hongkong and Taiwan. We are all eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.
