4. What more can we do to protect places of interest?
I think the most important thing is to educate people to realize that it is our duty to protect and
respect historical or scenic places
．
Local governments have already hired a lot of people to clean
up after tourists, and to guide travelers through the sites. In many national parks
，
they built wooden
paths for people to follow a specific route, so that visitors don't go walking off and stepping on
plants, or throwing stuff into beautiful lakes. I think that governments should also forbid the
construction of any new hotel near tourist destinations, because I think that modern buildings, and
the roads that were built to bring visitors ruin destroy) the beauty and the peacefulness of the place.
5. What modern-day places do you think that people in the future will consider
interesting?
That's an interesting question because we never know for sure what will fascinate interest) the next
generation. It depends on what innovations come out in the future
．
I think that in the future people
will also be interested in ancient buildings, because old architecture and old lifestyle will seem even
more surprising to the next generations
．
I think that what we are building nowadays will not interest
people so much in the future, because by then they will have built bigger malls and higher towers.
Did you hear they built a skyscraper of more than 800 meters in Dubai? It's only going to get higher
and higher from now on. I really don't think contemporary
（＝
present-day) architecture will stun
daze=surprise anyone in the future.

I would like to have dinner there once again, but expensive
Let me tell you about a four-star hotel called the Shangri-La. It is conveniently located in
the city center, and I believe that most entrepreneurs
，
state officers, and rich foreign tourists who
come to my city stay there. It is a fancy hotel; actually it is definitely the best place to book a room
in my hometown.
From the outside, the Shangri-La Hotel is a modern skyscraper. It counts at least 30 floors,
and the building seems to be covered with glass, you know, huge windows. At night, they illuminate
the edges of the building, and it looks quite neat. Actually, it was built next to a big square in my
city, and you can see the hotel from very far away. It's a landmark easily recognizable building) in
my hometown.
When you walk in the hotel, you will be welcomed by a doorman, and at first you can enjoy
the light fragrance of the air in the building. I don't know how they do it, but the place smells so
nice
：
it is very relaxing
．
The ceiling is extremely high, and the lounge is very spacious and
comfortable. It seems like every piece of furniture inside the hotel was carefully selected. The place
is well-decorated, with paintings hanging on the walls, amazing chandeliers
（＝
lights hanging down
from the ceiling), and colorful decorations depending on the time of year. I had dinner there last
year for Spring Festival, and the place was all red, with ornaments representing the Chinese festival:
they had scrolls and calligraphy around the doors and lanterns hanging from the ceiling. It was
stunning
！
The hotel is also very well-equipped in terms of technology. There are flat-screen TVs
everywhere, and there is a monitor in the elevators too. Actually, to get to the main restaurant, you
can take the escalators inside to reach the first floor. On top of this, they have a swimming pool in
the basement, a gym, their own cinema, and a tennis court on the roof. It's pretty cool.
I have had the chance to eat there once, but I hope that in the future I will be able to go back,
to treat my parents to a nice dinner there. You know, my folks have done so much for me; they have
been so supportive over the years, I would love to thank them by taking them out to the best place
in town.
