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 think that fireworks should not to be banned,as they decorate the dark sky at night and always bring people p;easure 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,settingoff fireworks will definitely lead to air pollution,which is likely to affect everyone.
