就我而言，我堅定地認為國外旅游者的數(shù)量應(yīng)得到限制，理由如下：

另外，為了吸引旅游者，大量人工設(shè)施被修建，這對環(huán)境是不利的。

9. For lack of distinct culture, some places will not attract tourists any more. Consequently, the fast rise in number of foreign tourists may eventually lead to the decline of local tourism.

由于缺乏獨特的文化，一些地方不再吸引旅游者。因此，國外旅游者數(shù)量的快速增加可能最終會導(dǎo)致當?shù)芈糜螛I(yè)的衰敗。

許多家長相信額外的教育活動有許多優(yōu)點，通過學(xué)習(xí)，他們的孩子可以獲得很多實踐技能和有用的知識，當他們長大后，這些對他們就業(yè)是大有好處的。

13. In the first place, extra studies bring about unhealthy impacts on physical growth of children. Educational experts point out that, it is equally important to take some sport activities instead of extra studies when children have spent the whole day in a boring classroom.

首先，額外的學(xué)習(xí)對孩子們的身體發(fā)育是不利的。教育專家指出，孩子們在枯燥的教室里呆了一整天后，從事一些體育活動，而不是額外的學(xué)習(xí)，是非常重要的。

18. From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that, although extra studies indeed enjoy many obvious advantages, its disadvantages shouldn't be ignored and far outweigh its advantages. It is absurd to force children to take extra studies after school.

通過以上討論，我們可以得出結(jié)論：盡管額外學(xué)習(xí)的確有很多優(yōu)點，但它的缺點不可忽視，且遠大于它的優(yōu)點。因此，放學(xué)后強迫孩子額外學(xué)習(xí)是不明智的。
