EXERCISE 1:
In China, the tide of opinion is now running steadily against homosexuality, in my opinion, I’m drawn toward the neutral view, here are several reasons to support my point of view. The first is that someone is born to be a homosexual, regardless of where they live, the society and government should support every citizen, including them, to developing a harmony society. On the contrast, someone became a homosexual just because they indulge in carnal pleasure without restraint, It’s a well-established fact that carnalism is pretty bad, and most important is that homosexual can be more easily effected the AIDS than normal people. In short, It’s an opened question about morality which cannot be stantardized by anyone.
