Pregunta: Do you think all old buildings should be demolished?

Análisis

When answering this question, you should consider both sides. On one hand, some old buildings may be unsafe or no longer suitable for modern needs, so demolishing them can make way for new development. On the other hand, many old buildings have historical, cultural, or architectural value, and preserving them can help maintain a city's identity and heritage. You can mention that it depends on the condition and significance of the building. Giving examples of famous preserved buildings or cases where demolition was necessary can make your answer stronger.
