我是来自加拿大的雅思外教Mac。今天，和你分享26年1月24日雅思大作文真题的原创范文。
题目：
Government should protect culture. Therefore, some people believe that new buildings should be built in traditional styles. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
政府应当保护本土文化，因此一些人认为，新建筑的建造应采用传统风格。你在多大程度上同意或反对这一观点？
范文：
Government intervention is often justified when cultural preservation is at stake, and as a result, there are those who argue that newly constructed buildings should adopt traditional architectural styles, an opinion I only partially agree with as I believe a city’s architectural style depends on a tangible set of aspects that vary city to city.
One of the main arguments for permitting modern architectural styles is that they allow emerging cities to cultivate a distinctive contemporary identity. In areas such as Shanghai’s Pudong district and the central business zone of Guangzhou, futuristic skylines have come to symbolise economic vitality, technological ambition, and global relevance, reflecting cultural values that prioritise innovation and progress. Through the implementation of bold, forward-looking designs, these cities not only attract international investment and tourism but also demonstrate that culture is not static, with architectural expression evolving alongside social and economic development.
Enforcing modern architectural norms across all urban contexts, however, would be deeply problematic. In cities such as Paris, Bath, and Chengdu, the visual coherence of the cityscape, shaped by traditional materials, construction techniques, and stylistic continuity, is fundamental to their cultural identity. If modern architecture were imposed indiscriminately in such locations, the atmosphere that makes these cities instantly recognisable would be diluted, undermining both historical continuity and the cultural narratives embedded within their built environments. In fact, it could be argued that the elimination of historical continuity is a means of erasing history, and that this is a deeper layer that deserves further study.
In conclusion, while contemporary architecture should be encouraged in cities seeking to define a modern cultural identity, governments must simultaneously safeguard traditional architectural styles in historically significant locations as doing so, I believe, ensures cultural preservation without obstructing organic urban evolution.
当文化保护面临危机时，政府的干预往往具备合理性，正因如此，有人主张新建建筑应采用传统建筑风格。对此观点我仅部分认同，因为在我看来，一座城市的建筑风格，取决于诸多具象且因城而异的因素。
允许采用现代建筑风格，核心原因之一是其能助力新兴城市打造独特的当代城市风貌。在上海浦东、广州中央商务区这类区域，极具未来感的城市天际线已然成为经济活力、科技追求与国际视野的象征，折射出当地崇尚创新与发展的文化内核。凭借大胆且兼具前瞻性的建筑设计，这些城市不仅吸引了国际投资与游客，也向外界证明：文化并非一成不变的存在，建筑表达会随社会与经济的发展同步演进。
但倘若在所有城市推行统一的现代建筑规范，会引发诸多严重问题。在巴黎、巴斯、成都这类城市，由传统建筑材料、营造工艺与风格延续性构筑的城市景观视觉统一性，是其文化标识的核心所在。若在这类地方盲目照搬现代建筑风格，这些城市独有的、让人一眼便能辨识的城市氛围将被冲淡，既破坏历史的延续性，也会消解蕴藏在城市建筑肌理中的文化脉络。事实上，有人认为割裂历史的延续性，无异于抹杀历史，而这一问题背后，还有更深层次的内涵值得探究。
综上所述，对于渴望塑造现代文化标识的城市，理应鼓励发展当代建筑；但与此同时，政府必须保护好历史文化名城的传统建筑风格。我认为，这样的做法既能实现文化保护，又不会阻碍城市的自然演进。
