As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, a great number of ancient buildings have been destroyed in some large cities along with the construction projects. This phenomenon and its negative effects have aroused more and more people’ s concern.

To the best of my knowledge, several reasons can be identified to ac-count for this phenomenon. To begin with, in order to pursue profits, businessmen pull down old buildings and construct office towers or shopping malls. Moreover, the government fails to release relevant policies and regulations to forbid dismantling ancient architecture, which to some extent encourages businessmen’s behaviors. Last but not least, people have not realized the value of historical treasures.

Considering all the points dis-cussed, it is highly sensible that we take prompt measures to resolve this problem. In the first place, the government is supposed to make laws to stop destroying ancient buildings. In the second place, the media need to enhance people’ s awareness in ancient building protection. Only by enforcing these measures can we effectively deal with the problem.
