Many middle-aged and elderly women are often seen participating the public square dancing in an effort to exercise and socialize with peers. But nearby residents are losing their temper for the noise. How do you think of public square dancing? Read the following excerpts carefully and write your response in NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the different opinions, and then
2. give your comment.
Square dancing participants
A retiree told the Los Angeles Times: It’s good for my health to be able to come out and exercise. I used to be quick to lose my temper, but now nothing bothers me. When I dance, I forget all my cares. And I can also hike up mountains with little effort.
Wang Xin, a 50-year-old Beijinger: It’s an activity that can help people socialize and gain confidence. Maybe you don’t have many dancing skills or the confidence to dance in front of the public, but you can still enjoy it.
Yang Hu: My mother is a fan of square dancing. She dances about one hour with her friends after dinner every day. I see nothing wrong with square dancing. After all, there are very few entertainment activities for middle-aged and elderly people.
Nearby residents
A resident surnamed Wang: I think there should be some public education, telling residents how to do things in a proper way to protect other people’s living environment. Everyone has the responsibility to reduce noise pollution.
A man surnamed Shi: I just wanted some sleep and I shouted loudly because I was so angry about the annoying noise. I think the square dancing is a good activity but the music they play is always too loud to tolerate.
One netizen: I think it’s OK to dance in a park but not in a community. I feel lucky because the elderly in my community have their schedules. They dance for 30 minutes from 20:00 to 20: 30. I can handle it. Some complain about people dancing in residential areas, and some complain about salesgirls who dance in front of their shops every morning.
A young father: It’s in my face, in my ears, and in fact, it right bang in my home. I have an infant daughter, only four months old. I don’t know how to get her to sleep with the noise. I fear that the first words she will speak are the saccharine lyrics that waft daily through the windows.
The official
A staff member from a residential committee office in Beijing’s Chaoyang District: There are many complaints about the noise of public square dancing. Sometimes we get over 10 complaints from our residents during summer. Because in summer it’s very hot and people want to open their windows to be cool. The loud music is more difficult to tolerate than that in winter.

My Views on Public Square Dancing Public square dancing is a popular pastime in China, particularly among elderly women. But it is considered a nuisance among some local residents, who complain about being disturbed by the loud music. Therefore, a simmering dispute between enthusiastic dancers and their irritated neighbors made headlines and triggered a heated discussion. There are quite a number of people in favor of participating in public square dancing. One of the main benefits they advocate lies in die positive influence on the physical health of the participants. Meanwhile, public square dancing provides an opportunity for the participants to socialize with their peers, which cheers them up and brightens their mentality. However, public square dancing is strongly opposed by many residents living near the square dancing venues, mainly because of the annoyingly loud noise of the music. Besides, square dancing takes up too much public space, making it impossible for other nearby residents to engage in other forms of exercise. Weighing up these different views, I am inclined to agree with the positive party. To begin with, it is my firm belief that each citizen has the right to make use of the public facilities for physical exercise, especially those middle-aged and elderly women who lack other forms of activities. What’s more, it is out of question that public square dancing exerts positive influence on the participants’ physical as well as mental health. Unlike youngsters, the middle-aged and elderly women don’t have many means to entertain themselves, and taking part in square dancing serves as an occasion for them to make friends and communicate with others. Last but not least, as to the complaints over the noise, legislators should try to make regulations which serve the interests of both sides. And only in this way can frictions between square dancing supporters and opponents be reduced. To conclude, Chinese senior citizens’ willingness to exercise is good news for both the society and their children. Encouraging public square dancing by providing more convenient venues and facilities not only helps senior citizens lead a healthy life, but also promotes social harmony.
