Passage 1: 正反对比类作文:
  Recently there is a heated discussion among students whether the ancient city wall should give way to the modern road.
    10% of the students hold the view that building roads is in great need with the rapid development of our society, because only in this way can the economy become better and can people’s life be improved. In a word, cultural heritage(遗产) should give way to (让位于)economy when necessary. On the contrary, 90% of the students are opposed to(反对) pushing down the ancient city wall.
