六级范文：
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:Should Firecraekers Be Banned'? You should write no less: than 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese ) below:
1．有人认为放鞭炮是好事，为什么?
2．有人认为放鞭炮是坏事，为什么?
3．我的看法。
(Suggested key words: firecrackers(鞭炮) set off/let off(放鞭炮 )
Remember to write your composition neatly.
Different people have different views on firecrackers. Some people think that firecrackers should be banned because they endanger people's lives and social security. However, others hold that firecrackers shouldn't be banned because they will drive evil spirits and bring luck.
As to me, I am in favor of the first idea. The reasons are as follows. First, addmittedly, letting off firecrackers will create an auspicious atmosphere, but it will not really bring luck to let off firecrackers. Besides, it is dangerous to let off firecrackers. It was reported that letting off firecrackers causes a lot of accidents, fire, injury, and even death every year.
However,it is our traditional custom to celebrate an important occasion by letting off firecrackers.How can we let off firecrackers whithoug causing accidents? The possible solution is that the substitute for the firecracker should be invented so that we can celebrate an important occasion whitout causing accidents.
