①用最高级“the most important”体现了春节在中国人心中的重要地位。
②短语“decorate…with…”这样的细节描写反映了人们在精心为春节做准备。
③运用感叹句表达了人们对春节的兴奋之情。
对于许多中国人来说,没有烟花爆竹的新年如同烧菜没放盐——寡淡乏味。现在,全国已有一百多个城市在实施“禁放令”后重新有限开禁。请你写一篇70词左右的发言稿,谈谈你对春节燃放烟花爆竹的看法。

One possible version:
In my opinion, we should continue the tradition. As everyone knows, setting off fireworks plays an important part in traditional Chinese festivals like the Spring Festival. It shows not only our happiness but also our hope for a better future.
At the same time, it's very important for us to protect ourselves when we set off fireworks. There are many things we can do. Most important of all, we should set off fireworks in the right place at the right time.
