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

In

this

contemporary

world

, it is considered by many individuals that it is better to replace ancient

buildings

with modern ones rather than expending more on maintaining and reconstructing old

buildings

. Though, there are several plus points in replacing them, I disagree with the above-mentioned view and my reasons have been explained in the following paragraphs.

First

and foremost, ancient constructions play a vital role in safeguarding the historical and cultural heritage of one's nation. Since the majority of youngsters in the concurrent

world

are not keen on paying attention to their culture, it is the responsibility of the older

generation

to teach them the importance of conserving these places with historical significance.

In addition

, these historical

buildings

are the only link we possess to our ancient history. To cite an example, the renowned story of Queen Mumtaz pass down from

generation

to

generation

owing to the good maintenance of the Taj Mahal.

Moreover

, these stunning architectural

buildings

are capable of attracting more tourists from all over the

world

and it will boost the country's economy. ,

Furthermore

, due to the marvellous

technology

of our ancestors, the durability of these constructions is very high relative to modern architecture.

Therefore

, we can still make use of these

buildings

for years by preserving them appropriately.

For instance

, the engineers of the present scenario are still not competent in understanding the

technology

used by our forefathers to build Sigiriya.

Consequently

, it is now considered one of the

world

's wonders.

Similarly

, though we can experience a plethora of technological advancements nowadays, modern

technology

has not emerged up to that extent to equalize with ancient

technology

. In conclusion, I disagree with the given view and it is the responsibility of the relevant authorities to look after these priceless properties and hand them over to the

next

generation

after being taught about the importance of protecting our heritage.
