IELTS Essay Part 2 (Houses Style) Some people think the newly built houses should be as same as the old houses style in local areas. Others argue that local authorities should allow people to build houses in their own styles. Discuss both views and give your opinion. With the emphasis on the style of houses has increased in recent years, people insist that they should be allow to build houses with their own styles, while others would like to abide by the old house style in local areas. I believe that the local people have a right to decide their own styles of building. In this age of globalization, the newly built houses has a special feature that it commonly be notice around the world. People more likely to create a unique appearance of local building that attract people’s attention and that reflect distinctive features of local area. For example, the urban renewal is development with soaring pace in many developing countries, especially in China, many cities have changed the style of old houses building since the modern style of buildings meet the demand of urban evolution. Also, with advancement of technology, people prefer to enjoy the smart home and they need their own styles of newly built houses for a better standard of living. Therefore, the old house style is not satisfied people’s need any more. It is true that the old houses style remain the historical value for local areas, but the obvious merits brought by newly built style clearly outweigh its disadvantage, and people and local authorities should memories the old built style, such as reserve its photos, build a museum, and write a book. Overall, I believe that people have a freedom to express their own style of new house and have a right to decide which style should be build, but the local historical value should not be neglected.
