*Yes！

“Plastic straws are bad for our planet. When people throw them away， they end up in our oceans. Sea animals sometimes mistake the plastic for food. This can harm the animals. It might even kill them. Its okay for people to use straws. But there are other options besides plastic ones. People can buy paper or steel straws to carry with them.”

“塑料吸管對(duì)我們的星球有害。當(dāng)人們把它們?nèi)拥魰r(shí)，它們最后會(huì)到我們的海洋里。海洋動(dòng)物有時(shí)會(huì)把塑料誤認(rèn)為是食物。這會(huì)傷害動(dòng)物，甚至可能殺死它們。人們可以用吸管，但除了塑料外還有其他選擇。人們可以買紙或金屬吸管隨身攜帶?！?/p>

*No！

“Plastic straws should not be banned. Why？ Many people with disabilities rely on flexible straws for drinking. Plus， plastics can be used many times. My dad and I wash and reuse plastic straws. Finally， banning plastic straws wont save the oceans. Instead， we should teach people how to throw away trash so it doesnt end up on beaches.”

*不應(yīng)該！

“不應(yīng)禁止使用塑料吸管。為什么？許多殘疾人依靠柔韌的吸管喝飲料。此外，塑料可以多次使用。我爸爸和我將塑料吸管清洗后再次使用。最后，禁止塑料吸管拯救不了海洋。相反，我們應(yīng)該教人們?nèi)绾稳永?，這樣垃圾就不會(huì)最終落到海灘上。”
