读写任务：阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。      Beijing is set to lift its12-year-old ban on fireworks for the traditional Spring Festival holidays, probably
starting from next Chinese Lunar New Year in January 2006.
     Zhou Jidong, director of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Beijing municipal government (市政府),
told a press conference last Thursday that his office has completed the draft (草案) regulations on firework
safety supervision.
     Under the draft regulations, setting off fireworks will be allowed in the capital city"s eight downtown
districts from the Eve of the Lunar New Year to Lantern Festival 15 days later. When the draft regulations
were posted on the municipal government"s website for suggestions, local residents gave a total of 969 pieces
of advice, with 70 per cent in favour of lifting the ban. Related surveys suggest local people who want to
light fireworks during Spring Festival range from 50.4 per cent to 86.3 per cent.
     In fact, the voice of opposition and criticism has never ended since the municipal government introduced
the ban in 1993, considering pollution, noise, fire worries and personal injuries caused by letting off fireworks.
     Opponents accused the government of introducing the ban only for the sake of facilitating its management
role while disregarding the will of the people. Worse, they say, the ban threatened to break down the age-old
traditions of celebrating Spring Festival among Chinese people.
     Partly due to this endless objection, about 106 out of a total 282 Chinese cities that had followed Beijing"s
lead in banning fireworks have already dropped the ban. [写作内容]

答案

     This passage mainly introduces Beijing"s draft regulations to lift its ban on fireworks for the Spring Festival
holidays due to more and more objection from people.
     As a fact, setting off fireworks can cause serious damage. First,it can easily cause fire, which threatens
people"s property and lives. The dropping of fire caused by fireworks in cities has proved the benefit of the
ban itself. Second, fireworks can be a threat to people"s health and the environment, because they cause noise
pollution and air pollution. On the other hand, the ban makes the traditional festival less attractive, which in
long term does harm to the relationship between family members and people"s value on the Chinese tradition.
The fact that more and more people, especially the younger generation, turn to celebrate foreign festivals is
really worrying.
     In my opinion, to let people experience more fun, to let more people hold on to the Chinese tradition and
value, we should lift the ban, but only during the Spring Festival. Meanwhile, we should urge all citizens to
be on alert during the period, and departments involved should get prepared for emergency.
