2. Which modern buildings do you think will be famous in 1,000 years? In my point of view, it is a really good idea to rebuild historic sites that have been damaged or destroyed.
Historic sites reflect the history and culture of a particular period, which helps people remember what has happened before so that they will not forget the past.
Besides, rebuilding historic sites may promote local tourism. In turn, this may improve the local environment and preserve its natural beauty.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend historic sites be rebuilt. 1. Do you think it is a good idea to rebuild historic sites that have been damaged or destroyed? Why or why not? I think that the National Stadium in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics will be famous in 1,000 years.
There’s no doubt that the venue will be a landmark in the city of Beijing. Not only can it accommodate a maximum of 100,000 spectators, but also its nest-like appearance from the outside reminds people of getting back to nature.
That’s why people gave it the nickname, “the Bird Nest”. Your first sight of the design will surprise you. It’s so unique that you cannot take your eyes off it. 2. Which modern buildings do you think will be famous in 1,000 years? Of all the four historic sites, I know the classical gardens of Suzhou best.
I have been to Suzhou twice and paid a visit to the classical gardens. They are so well designed and built that they look really natural.
Of all the gardens, the Humble Administrator’s Garden, the Lingering Garden, the Master-of-Nets Garden and the Mountain Villa are the most famous.
Whenever you are there, you’ll be fascinated by Suzhou’s splendid scenery. It is no wonder that Suzhou is called the earthly paradise.3. Do you know anything about the historic sites in the pictures?DebateShould we rebuild historic sites that
