Whether governments should demolish old houses to widen roads and build new ones remains controversial Some people think that this trend is possible to open new economic opportunities while others claim that old houses need to be preserved thanks to their precious historical value I partly agree with the statement for the following reasons
Trang 2First, the appearance of old houses magnetizes flocks of tourists With ancient houses symbolizing historical heritage of nations, visitors from all walks of life desire to set foot here to dig deeper and admire their beauty Ancient streets in Hanoi or Hoi An are telling examples of places attracting thousands of tourists annually and generating a huge amount of profit Nevertheless, it can hardly be denied that not all old houses are of such economic value like that In reality, due to weathering, these houses
become derelict, cramp and extremely dirty, which endangers people's lives in neighborhood Reports indicate that there have been people dying because of sudden collapse of old houses, especially in unpredictable weather condition
Second, young generation need to witness old houses to be reminded of their glorious past history and unparalleled architectural styles by
predecessors In times of globalization where the young are often misled and affected by external cultures, the existence and restoration of ancient houses is crucial to cultivate in them patriotism for nations and effort to build their countries To some, being thrown in the hustle and bustle of big cities, they find old houses as an ideal escape and meditate themselves under the shadow of the serene and peaceful past However, with regard to growing population, particularly, in inner cities, it is essential for
governments to widen roads and construct skyscrapers Old houses,
despite their undeniable beauty, hardly accommodate a large amount of population while some of them apparently stand in the way of community development for their unsuitable location For instance, an ancient house in
my neighborhood which stood right next to the railway three years ago caused danger for people inside and has just been removed For another example, in areas where there are no schools for kids, but old churches and residential areas, it is a wise decision to omit one of ancient buildings
In brief, considering the location, safety, rarity and demand of community, governments will decide whether to demolish old houses or preserve them
