Answer 1

【答案】In the evening, when you take a walk around the neighborhood, it is very likely that you will see one after another group of middle-aged or retired women dancing to a variety of music, often in high spirits. This kind of group dancing spreads so quickly that it has already got itself a name, “square dancing” or “plaza dancing”.

Undoubtedly, the so-called “square dancing” is gaining popularity for good reasons. First of all, it helps enhance people’s physical and mental well-being by daily exercising and social reaction. More importantly, due to its low cost and ease of participation, anyone willing to step into the group can be fully engaged. Actually, it is quite a view with all the cheerfulness in the air.

However, when square dancers are absorbed in moves and rhythms, complaints arise. Boys are complaining about dancers’ occupying their basketball courts. Students doing homework hate the constant distraction and interruption caused by the noisy music. Some even urge the government to take measures to ban square dancing.

As far as I am concerned, communication and understanding of both parties are required. The department concerned could advise square dancers to keep the volume to such a low volume as not to disturb the residents nearby. They may also leave the Public facilities to other people at a proper time. Young people nearby may as well be considerate because it is quite possible that group dancing is your grandmother and her friends’ only form of recreation. Only through mutual understanding and raised awareness, can people of different generations live in a perfect harmony.
