[00:07.90]On Free Admission to Parks
[00:11.31]As we all know,
[00:13.63]most parks in China
[00:15.48]are opened to the public for free at present.
[00:18.65]The free admission to parks is implemented nationwide
[00:23.01]with the main purpose to provide the public,
[00:26.07]rich or poor,
[00:27.44]with equal opportunities to enjoy the scenery
[00:30.82]and utilize the facilities in the parks.
[00:33.81]Besides the benefits and conveniences,
[00:37.36]there have emerged some problems as well.
[00:40.22]Since people are allowed to enter the parks for free,
[00:44.32]parks more often than not become overcrowded,
[00:48.31]especially at weekends.
[00:50.05]Therefore, the beauty and peace of the parks are ruined.
[00:54.78]What's worse,
[00:56.33]now that all kinds of people
[00:58.40]are entitled to go into the parks for free,
[01:01.26]we can not rule out the possibility of destruct,
[01:05.05]which many parks actually have already complained about.
[01:08.79]In my opinion,
[01:11.20]citizens should not be charged to enter the parks,
[01:14.86]because as tax-payers,
[01:16.79]we deserve the right to visit parks for free.
[01:20.28]However, while we are enjoying our rights,
[01:24.20]we should also fulfill our obligations
[01:27.00]such as taking good care of the parks.
