Topic: 65
Whether the city should try to preserve its old, historic building or destroy them? I believe that different people will have different opinions. According to my experiences, I think that we should preserve these old, historic building. I like to use following reasons to explain why I think so.
The first and important reason is that every old building represents an important piece of history. Undoubtedly, they can reflect contemporary culture, custom and life style, etc. For example, the Former Imperial Palace in China, where ancient emperors have ever stayed, has had a longstanding history as long as over 2,000 years. Through it, we can not only remember many famous historical events, but can also know that ancient people have grasped very advanced architecture techniques and methods. 作文能力提升，就来易优作文,https://www.euw.net
I believe if we demolish these valuable buildings, we will destroy an significant piece of history also. More seriously, we won”t be able to rebuild them. What people need isn”t the duplication or copy. In many old cities, there are some old houses at where there were many important meetings hold. When we visited old meeting sites, we seemed to back to that turbulent or excited time. As if we can hear again what those important historic characters were talked about each other vigorously.
Moving on to wider themes, I admit that some old buildings have got a bit dilapidated and unsightly, and haven”t generated any revenue for us any more. But if we can refurbish them, I believe that they could start to attract visitors to cities again.
From what has been discussed above, I can safely draw the conclusion that we should preserver these old and historic buildings.
