D: It must be helpful. I’d like to suggest limiting the number of building around them to preserve them.
4a. Work in pairs. Use the ideas in to suggest ways to protect and preserve the man-made wonders of Viet Nam.
We suggested that local government should have long-term measures to protect natural wonders from severe weather conditions. As we can see many man-made wonders are placed outdoors so weather can affect them significantly. If we don’t have long-term measures, they can be ruined little by little, day by day.
4b. Report your best ideas to the class.
