Answer 1

 Dear Editor,

I，m writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether theme parks should be built in China.

Opinions are divided on the question. About 60% of my classmates are against the idea of building theme parks in China. The reason why they don't think it is a good idea to build so many theme parks in China is that it is a waste of mon?ey. A theme park may cover a large area,which is also a waste. Moreover, there is no need to build more new theme parks because so many have already been built in China. Most of the existing theme parks are not interesting enough to attract tourists.

On the other hand,the rest40% hold the idea that more theme parks should be built. The reason is that theme parks can provide people with good places for their entertainment and leisure time. There is no denying that it is also a good way to build theme parks to protect and preserve some Chinese cultural relics. Not only can people enjoy the beautiful scenery and have a good time in a theme park,but also they can learn much about the local culture, history there.

I'm on the side of the first group. The rea?sons are as follow. The money for the theme parks should be invested into other more important fields, such as education and scientific research. We should make good use of the vast land to develop agriculture or to build more houses for people.

Sincerely yours, Li Hua
