A city should try to preserve its old, historic buildings by not destroying it.

One reason we have to keep old building is because it represents the beauty of own country. For example, there are tourists to see and feel many architecture by traveling other countries. If many historical buildings were replaced by modern buildings, threre will be no tourists. It stops many people from learning other cultures.

Another reason we have to keep and preserve old and historical buildings is because buildings are one of essential elements that scientists observe. The design, pattern, artifacts, and all the remains from the old buildings are all significant to archaeologists. Therefore, the historic buildings are important to some people because it remind them lives of the past.

Hi Jiwon, i think you opinions about a city should to preserve historic buiding very well. You have a strong ideas even though it is a liitle short. However, i think you should change the last sentence of the second paragraph. Reason can be  that people not stop learning other cultures if historic building is detroyed. They can have different ways for learning other cultures. I think you should change the word “stop” to “decrease”. Finally, you paragraph is very well. Thanks for posting…
