2. 有人认为放鞭炮是坏事,为什么?
3. 我的看法
2. 造成:cause、lead to、result in sth.、bring about、be
responsible for
First,
setting off firecrackers leads to fires.Secondly it result in injuress to people.Finally it also brings about noise.
On the other hand, there are many people who say that firecrackers should be banned.
They point out that firecrackers are responsible for fires which destroy property, and for injuries suffered both by the people who set them off and by innocent bystanders. They also say that firecrackers are a waste of money and resources.
注:point out 指出;be responsible for 造成
On the other hand,there are many people who say that pets should be banned.They point
out that pets are responsible for nioses which disturb people's rest,and for injuries suffered both by the people who keep them by innocent neighbors.
My own point of view is that we should preserve the old custom of letting off
firecrackers, while at the same time making them
harmless. We can do this by banning firecrackers from public places. In addition, we should
restrict the
setting off of firecrackers to
festival days.
注:My own point of view is that we should be allowed to keep pets, while at the same time making them
harmless.

注:Some people believe that some number can bring them good luck.
For example in China the number eight is believed to be a number that can bring people good luck.Another example is the number six.
There are people who believe that some numbers bring good luck, while others bring bad
luck. For instance, in China the number eight is thought to be lucky. Turning our attention to the West, we find that the number seven is considered lucky, but the number 13 is avoided like the plague.
注:认为:is thought、is considered
In spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that numbers
have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. ......In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect calculators to break down every time they note the number 13, and for another, although every week has seven days we know that not every week is lucky for us.
Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of
view. It is obvious that there is no scientific basis for the belief that there is a connection between luck and numbers. All in all, it seems to me to be superstition.
注:latter -> former;superstition 迷信;All in all, it seems to me to be a waste of time.

As a general rule, people like to help others, but there are occasions when you should say no
to requests for favors. For instance, it is better to refuse when a child pesters you for sweet food and drinks or for too many toys. Another example is when a relative asks you to use your influence to get him or her a bank loan or a work promotion.
注:pesters sb. for 缠着某人要......
However, we cannot
ignore the fact that many people are
reluctant to say no. They feel that if
they turn down a request from a relative or friend, they will cause ill-feeling within the family or become
unpopular with their acquaintances. A
notable case in point is when the boss asks them to do something which they feel is unreasonable.
注:2004年1月 "Reduce waste on campus"
we cannot
ignore the fact that many students are
wasting food.
......Not throw them away, they revised the perservation date, and saled them again after several
days. Another case in the point, a pair of shoes was made from goat. However, in order to sale at a
high price, the salers would say they were made from cow which has good quality.
