How to Protect the Ancient Buildings
In recent years, as the city develops faster and faster, many old and historic buildings are being damaged by people. They want to make room for housing or offices in urban construction. Do you think we should try to protect those old buildings or replace them with the modern ones?
I think we should take measures to protect those ancient buildings, because they reflect the history and culture of the city. And the young will learn a lot when they visit the historical relic sites. The government and related departments should find a suitable solution to these problems. As a citizen, it is my and everyone’s duty to spare no efforts to take any way to protect the historical property.
