李全忠

了解我們的文化遺產(chǎn)非常重要，因?yàn)槲覀兊倪^(guò)去、現(xiàn)在和未來(lái)都與文化遺產(chǎn)密切相關(guān)。每個(gè)人，特別是年輕一代都應(yīng)該了解文化遺產(chǎn)，并對(duì)其進(jìn)行保護(hù)。

1Every day people all over the world celebrate their cultural heritage， simply by living their lives in a way that stands for who they are and where they come from. But one day in a year is set to celebrate the joint history and heritage of the human race. World Heritage Day encourages us to celebrate all the worlds cultures， bring awareness to important cultural monuments and sites， and agree on the importance of preserving the worlds cultures.

2On this day， there are a number of different events that happen all over the world. This includes a wide range of activities， conferences， and visits to heritage sites and monuments. For those who are unaware of the significance of preserving world heritages， a heritage site is basically a place that is of cultural significance. It preserves the culture of intangible （無(wú)形的） attributes and physical artifacts of a society or group that is inherited from previous generations.

3Perhaps the most important way to celebrate World Heritage Day is to search out those locations near you that are counted as World Heritage Sites， and perhaps pay them a visit. Before doing so， research the sites， find out what steps are needed to protect them， and respect them during your visit.

4You should also take a look online to see if there are any events going on in your local area in honor of World Heritage Day. You will find that a lot of events take place to increase awareness regarding the preservation of important buildings and monuments.

5It is also a good idea to spread awareness regarding this day with the people that you know. This is something you can do with ease via social media. You can post a message that informs your friends， followers， and family members of this day and encourage them to post something too. You could post a photo of one of the best international sites you have visited or one that is on your bucket list， and then ask your followers to reply with their choice. This is a great way of getting everyone involved and raising awareness of this date！
