Prompt: Many old buildings protected by law are part of a nation's history. Some people think they should be knocked down and replaced by news ones.  How important is it to maintain old buildings?

Many people assume that old buildings must be protected by law because have many histories. In other hand, some people think, the building must be changed with new buildings. I will give reasons about my statement in the following paragraphs. Ċ As we know, the old buildings usually have many histories, so people can learn more knowledge from this building. Especially, for students, they are studying about history of Bung Hatta in the school, but they did not know real about the story. So, they can go to the house of Bung Hatta. In addition, the old buildings give many benefits for government because more tourists visited this building. Ċ In the other side, we can find several buildings get renovation but keep maintaining the original character of the build and being used for modern purposes. Moreover, by studying and learning about history, we understand more about the world we live. and this helps us to build a better future. Ċ In addition, governments should keep the buildings so not need to knock down by private individuals or companies. As it is mentioned before, those buildings reflect the history of the nation. Replacing those buildings with new ones may be a temporary solution for inhabitants but will certainly be the loss of a part of history permanently. Ċ To summary, I think, it is very important to protect and conserve old buildings as we can learn about our history as can others from other countries. Such knowledge can also help us to understand how to make more modern our countries.
