【答案】

Dozens of old people gather in public parks and squares early in the morning, turn on the loudspeakers and dance to the music, which has been controversial because of the noise pollution it creates.

Some citizens hold the view that the loud noise is unbearable, thus disturbing the normal life of the people living near the squares and they also hope that the groups can keep the volume down to create a quiet environment. However, the retirees think group dancing brings them health and happiness, without which their life will be extremely boring. Besides they have their own right to dance on the square as it is also one of the recreational activities like playing chess or playing cards.

In my opinion, there is no denying that getting together to dance allows the elderly to maintain health and be social(make more new friends who share the same hobby with them, and build up their body as well). However, whatever their choice of entertainment, it’s important not to neglect the public order and affect other people’s lives. So it’s time for the government to draft regulations which include details such as the restrictions on the volume, the areas and musical equipment. Only in this way can we see harmonious scene.
