On the Practice of Setting Off Fireworks
Nowadays, the convention of setting off fireworks on the Spring Festival is confronted with the prohibition from the government, which has aroused heated discussions.
Opinions vary from person to person. Some people, including me, think that fireworks should not be banned, as they decorate the dark sky at night and always bring people pleasure and happiness. What’s more, fireworks are often considered the symbol of auspiciousness and people believe they will have a bright future by setting them off during a festival. Others believe that it does more harm than good to set off fireworks because accidents frequently happen and people always get hurt. Also, setting off fireworks will definitely lead to air pollution, which is likely to affect everyone.
There is no doubt that setting off fireworks has its merits as well as drawbacks. The key to solving this problem is to improve the quality of fireworks, which can not only make sure that it is totally safe to set off fireworks but also cause the least pollution.
