Some people think that certain old buildings that are historically important in cities or the countryside should be preserved. Do you agree or disagree？
參考範文
It is important to maintain certain old buildingsin view oftheir advantages to societies. Old buildings such as museums, palaces, religious constructions, and ancient structures and sites are a part of a nation’s history. Societies have long sought to protect and preserve thesecultural heritagefor considerationsranging fromhistorical researchtopublic education to tourist attractions and to the desire to reinforce a sense of national identity. People have only tocast their eyes onan old building to feel the presence of the past and the spirit of a place, as if it were the very reflection of history. In this respect, demolishing an old building of historic value is no different from destroying a piece of history.
Nevertheless, sometimes it is better toknock downcertain types of old buildings that are less worth preserving. Although this might seem “morally” wrong, actually it is the right choice to do so. When a historic structure has become a threat to society, for example, having it removed can actuallyadd more value tothe area around it. In such cases, of course, the land cleared should be used beneficially for the progress of society. This change could attract property investors to that area that might have otherwise been avoided. Furthermore, it would often cost a lot more to restore a destroyed old building than to replace it with a new one.
In the big picture ofpros and cons, it should be made a legal rule to protect and preserve old buildings of historic value. But then, there should as well bea few exceptions to the rule.
