Should we revive traditional Chinese characters or continue using simplified characters? This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

YES
Traditional characters, which date back to more than 2000 years ago, have a more beautiful appearance and a more reasonable structure. As indicated by the 親 and 愛 examples, traditional characters make more sense, convey traditional values and can therefore represent traditional culture.
For two millennia, Chinese historical records and classic works were written in traditional characters. To be able to read them and inherit traditional culture, we need to bring traditional characters back.
Politically, it is also necessary to restore traditional Chinese characters. Currently, traditional characters are still in use in Hong Kong, Taiwan and many Chinese communities around the world. Restoring them can contribute to cross-Straits exchanges and national reunification and unite Chinese people around the world.
NO
In today’s world, efficiency matters most. Traditional characters, which usually have more strokes than simplified ones, are more difficult to learn. By contrast, simplified characters are much easier to learn and use.
Over the past 50 years, lots of classic texts have been turned into simplified-character versions, which means simplified characters can also promote and preserve traditional culture.
Constant simplification has been a trend in the evolution of Chinese characters. From the oracle bones script of 3000 years ago to traditional characters, the Chinese writing system has always been slimming down for better communication.

答案
Tradition or Simplification?
Language is an integral part of every single culture. Accordingly some people suggest that traditional Chinese characters should be revived in an effort to preserve Chinese traditional culture, while others favor the simplified ones because of their simplicity and conciseness. Considering both sides, it seems to me that simplified characters should be used continuously.
One of the main reasons for simplified characters being favorable is the matter of efficiency. They are user-friendly. Comparatively, they are much easier to learn and memorize. Another major reason is that simplified characters, as one of the significant Chinese elements, have gone global thanks to the rise of China. As a matter of fact, simplified characters may jump into our sight at any time across the world, which, I think, is a real contribution to the promotion of Chinese culture. At last, admittedly, traditional Chinese characters have esthetic appeal and cultural value. Therefore, I contend that traditional Chinese characters, as cultural heritage, should be recognized, studied and treasured comprehensively by specialists or those who are interested in them.
To sum up, for those who propose to carry forward traditional Chinese culture through reviving traditional characters, their concerns are understandable. However, in the long run, I do believe simplified Chinese characters are more practical in the modern world. Meanwhile, consideration should be given to inheriting traditional Chinese characters from the cultural perspective.
