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.

E-reading Cannot Be Simplified
In this cartoon, a boy is talking with his mother about his teacher’s reading assignment: whereas, he seems to have some misconceptions about e-reading. From my perspective, e-reading is good but it cannot be simplified as reading Facebook and text messages online.
For one thing, with the advent of the smart phone, e-reading has enjoyed increasing popularity among young people in recent years. Despite the fact that e-reading takes up so much time we spend on traditional reading, I don’t think it’s a bad thing considering that e-reading offers us more chances to read at least. For another, however, it should be clarified that e-reading means reading books or articles in electronic form, which cannot be confined to reading text messages or browsing social networks such as Facebook. But I am regretful to find some young people immersing themselves in social networks sometimes.
Therefore, in the era of the Internet, we must be well aware of what e-reading truly means and what is really worth our time and attention.
