an Essay for ITLT Task 2. Whoever help me revise it will be appreciated^^ In present age, traditional cultures, particularly architectural cultures are facing an awkward situation that few actions are taken to preserve them. Therefore, some people propose that we can build new buildings in traditional style in urban areas. Personally, I believe this idea is ridiculous and unrealistic. First of all, traditional buildings themselves cannot meet the demands of people’s living. How can we install our air conditioners in the small, wooden garrets? How can we put our pianos into houses if the aisles of the traditional buildings are very narrow? How about our cars? Is there any chance to build a garage in traditional style? It is apparent that those buildings in traditional style will bring about a host of troubles to people live in modern lifestyle. What is worse, their layouts make the land deficient and their materials turn out to be not eco-friendly. Besides, safety cannot be guaranteed in traditional buildings since they are more likely to catch fire or get robbed than modern buildings. Those who are in favor of building traditional buildings may stand from the purpose of protecting traditions. However, not only will it not gain its ideal results, but it will have an awful influence in the progress and development of human beings’ civilization. High-tech appliances such as elevators will not be used in that case. Consequently we will be confronted with a problem that in order to preserve traditional cultures, we have to live back to ancient society. Overall, preservation of tradition is definitely essential, but we should do it in a right way instead of making all the cities and towns filled with traditional buildings.
