Some people think that reconstruction of the ancient buildings is pricey, so we have to destroy them and install new one models as a replacement.
However
, I object to the idea that people would be better rebuild the old buildings.
To begin
, there are many arguments in favour of demolishing old buildings. We can often hear the news on TV or read in newspapers that a building in a city crumbled killing a few people or crushed a few cars by bricks.
Such
buildings should be demolished. The expenditure for
this
plural of "this"
these
buildings which are in an awful condition are much more than the cost of demolishing and building new ones
instead
.
On the other hand
, there are some old buildings which give a unique identity to a place and with a little maintenance can be used effectively even today.
For instance
, the old house on Andreevsky descent attaches historical flavour. It is a magnificent piece of architecture which attracts tourists. There are many other
such
buildings which house important government offices or have been converted to hotels for tourists.
Also
, there is the hotel in an old building. It's called Historical hotel which has been converted into a hotel and is a good source of revenue for the government. We would lose income if we demolish
such
buildings. We can use old buildings not only hotels, but and historical museums. In conclusion, if we no longer need some old buildings, we can easily demolish them, but some worn-out kinds of them should remain and be actively used.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
