It is reported that to build a road, a well-known historical and cultural city has recently torn down one of its ancient city walls, which date back to the Tang Dynasty. Our class have had a debate on whether cultural relics like ancient city walls should be torn down or not.
About 10% of the students, who said building a road was necessary for the development of society, supported this action. In their opinion, cultural relics should give way to he development of society if necessary.
However, about 90% have the opposite opinion. They believe the ancient city walls are very valuable and they are the symbols of the city. There is no doubt that cultural relics plays an important part in communication between China and the rest of the world.
Personally, I think cultural relics are so valuable that we should protect them.

Should Yuanmingyuan Be Rebuilt?
Yuanmingyuan, “Garden of all gardens”, was burnt and fell

into ruins in 1860.Recently my classmates had a discussion about

whether it should be rebuilt or not.
Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing so can

we see the original sight of the garden, which reflects the Chinese

civilization.If partly rebuilt, it will not only be another place of

interest for tourists but also provide a comparison and help us

remember the history.
Those who disagree think it more reasonable to keep the

garden like this so that the ruins can remind us that we should

never forget the history.Other buildings like the Palace Museum and

the Summer Palace can also be symbols of the Chinese culture, so it

isn't necessary to rebuild it and they also worry that the

environment will be destroyed when the construction goes on in

this district.
Personally, to respect the history, I think we'd better not

rebuild Yuanmingyuan and try our best to protect what remains as a

cultural relic.
