Some people think that we should replace old buildings and houses in cities with more modern buildings. Other people think we should protect old buildings. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

One
of the social concern to building and
houses
in cities,
while
the others argued that all of the old
buildings
or
houses
need to be remove and replace with other expensive and modern
buildings
. Personally, i tend to believed we need to protect and keep all that old
buildings
. On the
one
hand, there need to be a reason why
people
want to changes and replace with another
houses
or
buildings
.
One
of the factor is that the government want to modernization the
city
,
this
also
means they want to make the
city
the most glorious and garish. In fact, develop a
city
would make tourist from another nations be amaze by that, an modernization
city
is the
city
that can development in many fields.
For instance
: in Vietnam, HCM
city
is
one
of the most richest
city
, where everything is having a comprehensive development, taking the whole
city
to the top and become the economic source of the countries. Another reason is
people
don't want to lives in those old, nasty
houses
. Since the countries have develop a lot, there are variety of job that help
people
to find money easier, so they want to upgrade everythings, include their
houses
.
One
of the standard example is: my family, who used to be so poor, that they have to rented a small
houses
in the middle of the villages, but with the develop of the countries, they have a stable job, having enough money to bought a house in a really big apartment.
On the other hand
, it is strongly believed that old building should be keep and protect.
Firstly
, is not all buidings are owns by someone else, there are several of building that being recorded by history,
that is
the type of building that shouldn't being replaced by any other. they are regularly remodeled since they have been builded in the past. But the government or peoples would always kept them because is a sign of history and the past.
For example
, Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon and Saigon Central Post Office, these two
buildings
have been built in a war by French, those
buildings
still located at Saigon and always attract tourists.
Secondly
, not all
people
want to upgrade their
houses
with modern
houses
.
Houses
have always a
place
which stored a lot of memories and expierience, not anyone can change to another new
place
.
For example
: eventhought my parents have changed to another
place
in the year 2009, but since
then
, they have been stick to
this
present house for almost 10 years.
This
is a
place
where we have spent a lot of memorable time, occasions. Whenever we at home or come home from a trip, it always make us feel so comfortable. In conclusions, athough
people
always want to replace those old
houses
or
buildings
with the modern or expensive, fashionable
place
. In my opinion, i would like to keep and protect those old
buildings
and
houses
