Near the village, there is an old famous temple. Some people want to build
a 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.
