    Text A:

    Joy, 30 years
    “Replacing old buildings with modern, sustainable ones is
    the logical step forward. Many older buildings are outdated,
    costly to repair, and energy inemcient. These structures
    often fail to meet the demands of today’s society,
    including ventilation, safety, and functionality.

    Modern green buildings are designed to address these


    issues. They prioritize energy emciency, generate their own
    power, and create healthier environments for occupants,
    such as reducing stress and boosting productivity. With
    advancements in architecture and technology, these
    buildings also showcase innovative designs that meet the
    needs of modern lifestyles.

    Cities should focus on evolution rather than preservation


    for preservation’s sake. It is time to create spaces that
    reflect current and future needs rather than clinging to
    those that no longer serve a purpose.”

    Text B:

    Alex, 35 years
    “Preserving old buildings is essential for maintaining our
    cultural heritage and identity. These structures are more
    than just architectural landmarks; they represent a
    connection to our history and a tangible link to the past.

    Adaptive reuse offers a solution by transforming historic


    buildings for contemporary purposes while retaining their
    original character. Repurposed spaces, such as former
    warehouses turned into green areas or theatres adapted for
    modern use, demonstrate that these buildings can continue
    to serve society effectively. Additionally, preserving and
    reusing old buildings is environmentally sustainable, as it
    reduces construction waste and conserves energy.

    Rather than demolishing these structures, we should focus


    on preserving and repurposing them to ensure that their
    historical and cultural significance is not lost to future
    generations.”

    Question:

    You have read two articles about old buildings on an online


    blog. Your teacher has asked you to write a report about
    whether or not old buildings should be preserved or replaced.

    Write a report for your teacher about whether or not you think
    old buildings should be preserved or replaced.

    In your report, you should:


    • evaluate the ideas and opinions in both texts;

    • give your own views about whether or not old


    buildings should be preserved or replaced, based on
    what you have read in the texts.

    Base your report on what you have read in both texts but be
    careful to use your own words. Address both bullet points.

    Give your report a suitable title.

    Write about 250 to 350 words.

    Up to 10 marks are available for the content of your answer,


    and up to 15 marks for the quality of your writing.
