The government is responsible for protecting a nation’s cultural identity. Thus, some people believe new buildings should be built in traditional styles. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

 Intro: Disagree. Modern buildings should be built in modern styles. However, the old buildings should be preserved.

Paragraph 1: Land is scarce and we have to meet the needs of the growing population. – tall buildings – provide more floor space where people can live or work – no need for deforestation

Paragraph 2: Modern materials are more practical. They are prefabricated and need less time. Now we use concrete and steel instead of stone, timber or brick.

Paragraph 3: Changes are taking place in climate – energy sources are depleting fast – we need energy efficient houses.

We need smaller houses as family structure is changing.

Conclusion: Restate your opinion.
