One possible version:

　　　 Recently there has been a heated discussion in our class about whether we should use traditional characters instead of simplified characters.

　　　 Opinions are divided into two groups. Some students think traditional characters should be used in our daily life because it will help us know more about the origin of Chinese culture. They also think traditional characters were created according to a strict set of rules, so they look more beautiful.

　　　 However, the others hold different opinions. They think traditional characters are difficult to learn and write, which brings inconvenience to people. More importantly, they believe it will be a barrier to promoting Chinese culture to the world.

　　　 In my opinion, people have been used to simplified characters. It will not be a good idea to change them into a more complicated form. But people should learn more about traditional characters and be able to recognize them in some particular occasions.

One possible version:

In the picture we can see a family in a car, The mother and the father are trying to drive it in opposite directions with their child sitting between them, looking rather confused.

It reminds me of a common phenomenon in some families. When there are some decisions for the family to make, the parents hold different opinions and turn a deaf ear to each other, not to mention the child’s ideas. For example, when it comes to what their child should major in at university, they will have a heated argument regardless of the child’s intention.

I think parents should try to improve their communication and take their children’s opinions into consideration so as to reach an agreement.
