The bits I've crossed out are padding, which says nothing - unless you can find an intelligently newway of saying what is already taken for granted as the basis of the essay.
Firstly, historic buildings serve as an important milestone of the past accomplishment. The Forbidden City in Beijing is such an example. It represents for the Chinese's prosperous era. Despite no longer having an emperor, China still proud of it's history and what past emperors have helped it to develop.These structures are too far too important to be torn down for commercial purposes. These are not just like normal buildings, they are a matter of a nation's pride and respect to their ancestor's accomplishment
In addition, old buildings are important source of inspiration for architects and other designers. Through studying the structure of old buildings, the designers are capable of making more attractive buildings. According to recent research, it's said that 20% of the new buildings originate from the old ones. Moreover, from collecting personal ideal, 79% of people prefer a building with a mixture of historical and modern style to a building with the modern style only.
Supporters of destroying old buildings may say that maintaining historic buildings is a waste of money and land .However,this theory has some merits on the surface. We can have many moderns buildings - as many as we want - but the historic buildings are unique. Once we destroy them, we will never can be able to see them again.Therefore, it's not a waste of money and land to preserve our unique beauty.
In short, historic buildings play an indispensable role in reflecting history, and enhancing inspiration. Government should think carefully before demolishing an unique treasure —old buildings.
