Model Essay 31-1
Should Firecrackers be Banned?
Firecrackers have been used in China for hundreds of years.Firecrackers were always part of New Years celebrations,weddings and other important occasions.
In recent years,however,people in China have different opinions about the old custom of setting off firecrackers.Some people think setting off firecrackers is a good thing,because it reflects the heritage of Chinese culture.It also adds much to the enjoyment of people and the warm atmosphere during important holidays.But others,on the other hand,believe that setting off firecrackers should be banned.The main reasons in their eyes are that it not only brings great economic loss to the country,but also causes certain disorder in the society.Furthermore,it pollutes our environment.
In my opinion,setting off firecrackers should be banned.However,we should replace this old custom with new enjoyable and safe ways of entertainment.Only then can we spend our holidays in a peaceful and joyful manner.
