Near the village, there is an old
famous temple. Some people want to build new house where the temple now stands,
because they can find no other area to build them, while others disagree with
them. They meet to decide how to solve the problem. Here are their opinions
about it.
The expert wants to protect the
temple and believes that there are some interesting things buried in the
ground. If it is destroyed or moved, people may never learn about how people
lived in the past.
The businessman thinks that the
houses should be built. History is important, but we must think about the
future. The village needs development and building new houses will offer jobs
to hundreds of people.
Villager A says, “We should build the new houses because we need houses to live
in.”
Villager B says, “We should protect the temple because it can attract many
tourists to come for a visit. If the temple is destroyed or moved, we will lose
a lot of business.”
The village leader thinks that he
has a duty to make life better for the villagers. They need jobs and new
houses. He also thinks the cultural site (遗迹) is important and they should be careful with
it as well.
