[IELTS Ideas] Housing and Architecture

State or Council Housing

  • In some countries the government provides state or council housing
  • This helps people who cannot afford to buy their own house
  • It can be argued that state housing creates dependence on the government
  • People should rely on the government to look after them

  • Council properties are often made with cheap, poor-quality materials

 

Old Buildings

  • They show us how people lived in the past
  • We identify countries by architectural symbols like the pyramids in Egypt
  • Governments should spend money on looking after historic buildings
  • They need regular repairs and maintenance
  • New buildings should be designed to complement them

 

Modern or Green Buildings
