Answer 1

Nowadays square dancing is getting more and more popular with Chinese people in many cities. Some public places are usually crowded with happy dancers, especially in the morning and evening. But now people have thrown doubt on this issue.
To be honest, most people say yes to square dancing, considering it a green form of exercising to keep fit. Besides, it is money-saving. But meanwhile, some others are greatly opposed to square dancing. They argue that the happiness of those dancers is built on the pain of others who have to suffer from the loud music and noise. With their peace of life disturbed, they are angry with and even run into conflict with the dancers.
In my view, square dancing is certainly beneficial to the whole society so long as the dancers show concern for others’ needs. What’s more, our government should invest more money to build some specified recreation centers for people.
