The picture symbolically depicts that six lovely children from different countries with different ethnicities get together and play games happily in a world of harmony. It is quite obvious that the drawer wishes to draw our attention to the most favorable social phenomenon that cultural exchanges are gaining worldwide popularity.
There are, to my mind, several reasons accounting for this phenomenon of the picture. For one thing, cultural exchanges can enhance international friendship, and people can acquire better understanding of each other. Through cultural exchanges, they can learn of different peoples around the world, what they believe in, how they lead their daily life，and their traditions and customs. For another，cultural exchanges can also greatly benefit the countries involved. That is because countries can share their achievements with each other to stimulating their own social progress and cultural prosperity.
Based on the above reasons, I hold that worldwide cultural exchange is beneficial to all countries involved. As for China, the opendoor policy has greatly promoted the Chinese civilization to the entire world and vice versa. Therefore, I can firmly conclude that in the long run, cultural exchanges will contribute to a flourishing Chinese and global economy, as well as persified cultures.
圖畫象徵性地描述了六個可愛的孩子們來自不同的國家，不同的種族一起遊戲在一個幸福的和諧世界裏。這是很明顯的，畫畫的人希望我們注意到，最受歡迎的社會現象-文化交流正得到世界的認可。
在我看來，這個圖中現象的幾個原因。一方面，文化交流能夠促進國際間的`友誼，人們可以更好地相互瞭解。透過文化交流，他們可以瞭解世界各地不同民族，他們的信仰，他們的日常生活，以及他們的傳統和習俗。另一方面，文化交流也能夠大大促進參與的國家。這是因爲各國能夠分享彼此的成果來刺激他們自己的社會發展和文化繁榮。
基於以上原因，我認爲，世界範圍內的文化交流對於所有國家都是有利的。作爲中國的門戶開放政策，極大地推動了中國文明的整個世界，反之亦然。因此，我堅持認爲從長遠來看，文化交流會促進中國和世界經濟的繁榮，以及多元化的文化發展。
