你的观点 …
One possible version
70% of people hold the opinion that we should use the simplified characters. For one thing, simplified characters play an important part in the development of the society, which made great contributions to the spread of the characters. For another thing, simplified characters are convenient for use. What’s more, it has had a great effect on many people, especially young people.
30% of people are against it. Firstly, using simplified characters too much will result in the loss of the character culture. Secondly, people have little access to knowing about the history of the character.
In my opinion, ……

Who introduced blind people to reading?
What did the soldier do for students when he visited the school?
Louis Braille.
He showed the students a system for passing messages at night during times of battle.
3. At Braille’s time, what were the books for blind people like? Were they convenient for use?
Books for blink people used paper pressed against metal wire to form letters. They were too heavy and not convenient for use at all.
4. What contributions did Louis Braille make for blind people?
His system allows blind people to read and write. It enables them to discover the world around them though they cannot see.
Good bye!
