Some people think that too much money has been spent looking after repairing old buildings, so we should knock down old buildings and build modern ones instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

day and age, it is argued that

instead

of being invested a huge amount of money to maintain, old architectures should be demolished to make way for the construction of many new

.

However

, in my opinion, both old

buildings

and modern ones should be spent equally because of some reasons below. On the one hand, I believe that

people

should not knock down the ancient

but financial resources should be allocated for their maintenance costs.

First

Linking Words

of all, maintaining old

buildings

means preserving the long-standing history and valuable cultural heritage. When traditional values are well protected,

this

can promote citizens’ patriotism and the pride of their origins, which motivates

people

to devote to the development of their country.

Besides

, it is true that old

buildings

can be considered as tourist attractions which bring about a huge source of income for the tourism industry.

This

can be exemplified by the Hue Citadel, which is recognized as a cultural heritage by UNESCO, attracts millions of visitors every year and contributes significantly to the GDP of Vietnam.

On the other hand

, I

also

argue that it is of vital importance for

people

to spend an equal amount of money on building new

structures

. With the fast pace of modern life,

besides

the increasing demands for houses due to the population explosion, the need for modern office

higher. Along with the globalisation, modern

structures

can make considerable contributions to leaving deep impressions on overseas partners and boosting international trade.

In addition

, apart from preserving traditional values, constructing outstanding and state-of-the-art

buildings

can

also

play a key role in strategies of developing tourism.

For example

, the iconic Bitexco tower with a special shape of lotus can evoke curiosity for tourists and become a landmark earning much money for the government. In conclusion, I myself hold a firm belief that the national budget should be channelled equally into maintaining old

and erecting modern ones to gain sustainable development in the long run.
