(二)
答案:
Recently, we have had a heated discussion on whether cultural relics should be open to the public. Different people have different ideas.
20% of us are against opening cultural relics. Too many tourists can damage the valuable cultural relics and even completely destroy them. There is no doubt that to earn more money the local people pay little attention to the relic protection.
However, 80% of us think it's worth doing. Foremost, it is a good way for people to understand Chinese history, traditional culture, customs and building styles. Moreover, opening cultural relics can do good to the local tourism. In return, it can speed up the local economy, which will better the local people's life.
In my opinion, cultural relics should be open to the public, but they must be open under proper protection.
