6. Discuss these questions with a partner or with your class. 1) Which of these galleries would you most like to visit? Why? 2) Have you visited any other museums or galleries before? Which ones? What did you see there? 3) Think of some old buildings in your area. How do they look? Do you like them? 4) Do you think it’s a good idea to restore old buildings or should we build new ones?
- I would most like to visit the Roubaix Museum because it is in a beautiful old building and has interesting textiles and photographs.
- Yes, I have visited a local history museum. I saw old photographs, paintings and objects from everyday life.
- There are several old houses and a historic church in my area. They have beautiful details and large windows, and I like them.
- I think it is a good idea to restore old buildings because they are part of our history. However, new buildings are useful when restoration is too expensive or impossible.
