One possible version：
Some people believe that a city should destroy its old，historic buildings and replace them with modern ones.Others，me included，have an opposite opinion that a city should try to preserve its old，historic buildings.The reasons are as follows.
First of all，historic buildings are symbols of cities.Without these historic buildings，a lot of cities would lose their cultural image or even their identity.Besides，historic buildings benefit the tourism industry.Moreover，historic buildings serve as an important resource for historical education.For instance，the Forbidden City is one of the most visited historic buildings in China.Not only are people impressed by its traditional architecture，but they also gain rich knowledge about the lifestyles of ancient Chinese emperors in the Ming and Tsing Dynasties.
In conclusion，preserving these buildings is definitely necessary.
