    event. Any of these scenarios might justify saving the building at the expense of the practical
    needs of the community. On the other hand, if several older buildings represent the same
    historical era just as effectively, or if the building's history is an unremarkable one, then the
    historic value of the building might pale in comparison to the value of a new structure that
    meets a compelling practical need.
    Also competing with a community's utilitarian needs is the aesthetic and architectural value
    of the building itself--apart from historical events with which it might be associated. A building
    might be one of only a few that represents a certain architectural style. Or it might be especially
    beautiful, perhaps as a result of the craftsmanship and materials employed in its
    construction--which might be cost-prohibitive to replicate today. Even retrofitting the building to
    accommodate current needs might undermine its aesthetic as well as historic value, by
    altering its appearance and architectural integrity. Of course it is difficult to quantify aesthetic
    value and weigh it against utilitarian considerations. Yet planners should strive to account for
    aesthetic value nonetheless.
    In sum, whether to raze an older building in order to construct a new one should never be
    determined indiscriminately. Instead, planners should make such decisions on a case-by-case
    basis, weighing the community's practical needs against the building's historic and aesthetic
    value.

    "Students should memorize facts only after they have studied the ideas, trends, and concepts
    that help explain those facts. Students who have learned only facts have learned very little."
    The speaker makes a threshold claim that students who learn only facts learn very little, then
    condudes that students should always learn about concepts, ideas, and trends before they
    memorize facts. While I wholeheartedly agree with the threshold claim, the condusion unfairly
    generalizes about the learning process. In fact, following the speaker's advice would actually
    impede the learning of concepts and ideas, as well as impeding the development of insightful
    and useful new ones. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(10) 》一文,出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
