Example:
Last week, ur class held a heated debate n whether t prtect the traditinal skill f crmrant fishing. Our classmates have different pinins n this tpic.
Sme supprters argue that crmrant fishing is a part f ur cultural heritage. If we dn't prtect it, we will lse a piece f ur histry. In additin, crmrant fishing, with its unique charm, can attract lts f turists, thereby prmting the develpment f the lcal ecnmy.
On the ther hand, ppnents wrry abut the living cnditin f the birds, suggesting that it may be cruel t use them in this way. Besides, they think that crmrant fishing is utdated. It is less efficient than mdern fishing.
In my pinin, cnserving the traditins and develping mdern technlgy are bth imprtant. Therefre, we must find a way t prtect ur cultural heritage while cnsidering the welfare f animals and mdern efficiency.
