The Value of Historic Buildings There is often a lot of debate regarding historic buildings and whether they should be preserved or torn down . While some people say that historic buildings should be preserved, others think that they should be demolished to make room for new developments. I believe that historic buildings need to be preserved since their existence represents our respect for past accomplishments and they are also a national treasure we can save for our future generations. First, historic buildings serve as an important milestone of past accomplishments. When the old buildings were constructed, they showcased the technology and methodology of the era. Consider the Forbidden City in Beijing. The Forbidden City has stood for centuries as a landmark of Chinese history. While no longer having an emperor, China is proud of its history and what past emperors have helped develop. Such structures are far too important to tear down to make room for additional housing developments or shopping malls. It is a matter of national pride, and historic buildings help citizens to maintain a sense of cultural identity through these past accomplishments. Nearly every country in the world has historic buildings, and they show what happened in the past and need to be preserved. Second, historic buildings serve as a tool for conveying the history of the city and country. The Palace of Versailles in France is of significant importance in French history. Walking through its halls, visitors can learn about the history of the country. The Taj Mahal in India serves as a major historical reminder of Shah Jahan and his love of Mumtaz Mahal. With such an amount of historical significance, these buildings need to be preserved so that future generations will be able to learn some of their history iirst-hana. A large number of modern buildings are demolished regularly and serve little purpose other than housing or business, which will never become part of history. Given the problems associated with fast-food, modern buildings have little, if anything, to teach other than problems. Therefore historic buildings should be preserved to teach people about history. In short, people are not able to halt progress, but we can shape its course by remembering history. Historic buildings play an important role in this and should therefore be preserved. They not only teach us about history but also are cultural legacy for future generations.
解析
老建筑和新建筑之间的关系是城市建设过程中的难题,也是当前的热点话题。对于老建筑,我们到底是要保护还是要将其拆除后给新建筑让位?对于这样一种争议性较强的题目,我们选择哪种观点并不重要,重要的是能在一开始就表明自己的态度,随后提出自己深入的分析和看法。本题在审题时还要注意,题目中所指的是historic building,也就是具有历史意义或在建筑等方面具有重要价值的建筑,而不是那些破旧的、没有太多保存意义的老建筑。对于这点,最好在开头段明确交代。
