　　1. 关于是否禁放烟花炮竹的争论由来已久。

　　2. 一部分人认为……另一部分人认为……

　　3. 我的观点……

　　There has long been a heated discussion by the public over the setting off of firecrackers and fireworks.

　　Some people， especially the middle-aged and elderly， argue that playing with firecrackers during the Spring Festival is a traditional ritual. Others， usually younger people， claim that it brings about too much noise， air pollution and even danger to haman bodies. For example， a primary-school pupil was badly injured by fireworks in Shanghai last Spring Festival.

　　In ray opinion， although the deafening sound and strong smell of firecrackers and fireworks give us a festive atmosphere， the negative effects on our environment and health are too great. With the increasing awareness of the Chinese people on the importance of environmental protection and with our central and local governments' efforts， I believe this tradition will be replaced by some new way of celebration soon.
