关于传统建筑的雅思作文范文

　　现代化建筑物的数量在不断增加，一些人认为我们应该建造传统建筑物，你是否同意此观点？

　　Large cities in the world are just construction sites all year round and many modern buildings,especially skyscrapers with glass walls, are being erected here and there. Buildings in traditional styles have given way to all these modern giants. From my own perspective, this is an avoidable trend if we wish to house more people and host more offices as more and more people are swarming into cities.

　　In the first place, modern buildings can house more people and host more offices. We know that a modern building can be as high as over 100 stories, thus, with the same land base, far more rooms are created by directing the construction upward. This is particularly necessary when we take into consideration the fact that the population explosion has made large cities more crowded than ever before and land prices are rocketing to ever broken records with each passing year.

　　In the second place, modern buildings can make valuable tourist resources. In fact, many skyscrapers have become the symbols of some metropolis around the world and a visit to them becomes a must. For example, the Oriental Pearl Television Tower and the Jinmao Tower, two symbols of Shanghai with a height of over 400 meters, have attracted millions of visitors every year, bring in a huge amount of money.

　　Admittedly, traditional buildings have their own advantages when compared with modern concrete structures. They are more like homes, cozier and more convenient. There is no need for one to press a button and then wait for a long time in order to be elevated to a certain story or vice versa. And people don"t have to worry about a power failure which will bring so much trouble to going up and down. However, it would be a mere fantasy to expect large cities to develop in such a way with available land areas shrinking at amazing rates nowadays. Therefore, building more modern buildings in our cities seems to be the only way out in providing more rooms for city dwellers and all kinds of business firms and offices.

　　世界上的大城市一年到头简直就是建筑工地，许多现代化的建筑，尤其是带玻璃幕墙的摩天大楼在各个地方拔地而起。传统风格的建筑已让位于这些现代化的建筑。从我个人的角度来看，随着越来越多的人涌入城市，如果我们想建造更多的办公室来容纳更多的人，这是不可避免的趋势。

　　首先，现代建筑可以容纳更多人和办公室。我们知道，一座现代化的建筑可以高达100多层，因此，在同样面积的地基上，通过建高层便可创造出更多的房间来。当我们考虑到人口爆炸已使得大城市比以往任何时候都更加拥挤不堪以及土地价格正逐年蹿升、不断创出新高这些事实时，这样做就尤为必要了。

　　其次，现代化的建筑可以成为宝贵的旅游资源。事实上，很多摩天大楼已经成为世界上一些大都市的象征，从而成为人们游览的必去之处。比如，上海的两座象征性建筑：东方明珠的金茂大厦，高度都超过400米，每年要吸引数百万的游客，给上海带来大量的创收。



　　诚然，与现代混凝土建筑相比，传统建筑自有其自身的优势：它们更有家的感觉、更温馨和方便。人们没有必要为了被抬升到某个楼层或下降至某个楼层而去按动一个按钮，然后等上好半天。人们无须担心停电而给上上下下所带来的巨大麻烦。然而，随着当今可用土地面积以惊人的速度在缩小，期盼大城市如此发展只能是痴想。故此，在我们的城市中建造更多的现代化高楼似乎是为城市居民和各种各样的商务公司、办事处提供更多空间的罕有的出路。
