You have recently visited a building which is of historical importance and came to know that it's in bad condition. Write a letter to local newspaper office. Which building it is? What are the problems? What do you expect them to do?
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Isa Azim and I am writing
this
letter to your newspaper to inform you about Shahr Theatre.
As you know the first establishment of this
building refers to about more than 100 years ago. There is no doubt about the historical importance of this
place. Besides
, this
position has a huge cultural impact on society. Distinctive architectural design aligned with urban effects is another specific factor of this
building.
Last
week I was there to check the new shows and I was shocked without any exaggeration to see this
location in such
a situation. The last
time I was there was a couple of years ago and I believe that our historical heritage organisation did nothing to preserve this
precious location during this
period.
There are a lot of cracks in the walls that threaten the stability of construction, the entrance hall was turned into a political and noncultural promotion space which was irrelevant to the theatre and cinema subject. The southern facade has been changed from the original one and was really irritated.
In my opinion, this
city element needs immediate experts' attention to renovate the changed parts with the original identity and conserve the rest of the buildings from advanced alternations neither in their appearance nor in their function. Furthermore
, the government should consider an adequate annual budget for Shahr Theater distinctively.
It would be appreciated if publish my criticism as soon as possible. It may prevent further
destruction. My contact number and email address are attached to the letter. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.
Yours sincerely
