Language support

We can pass them on to future generations.

By ..., we understand more about ...

Without them, we can only learn ...

Reference answers:

Many of these buildings provide important information about...

In my opinion, it’s absolutely necessary to preserve historic buildings. First, there are many stories related to historic buildings. They remind us of the past. Without them, some of the history might be lost. Second, many historic buildings are beautifully designed and have become tourist attractions. They can help promote economy. I think the government is responsible for preserving these buildings. More money should be spent on preserving these buildings.

It’s our duty to preserve historic buildings. Unfortunately, some historic buildings have been pulled down and lost forever. What a pity! We must take action to preserve these historic buildings before it is too late. There are also some historic buildings that are not so famous, however, they deserve preservation. By visiting them, we understand more about how Shanghai has developed into a modern city from a fishing village. As far as I am concerned, a list of historic buildings should be made and we do hope experts and government officials work together to preserve these buildings.
