Question

What makes a building special? Is it the way it looks? Is it how big or beautiful it is? Think about an amazing building that you have been to, and what, to you, makes it amazing. Write a paragraph about that building and what makes it special. Remember, you can write about any building you have been to, provided you can make an argument for why it is special.

Answer 1

Answer:

The functionality of a building makes it special.

Explanation:

I have been to a public school in my place (a typical school for elementary kids) last week and the school really amazed me. Besides functioning as an education venue for children on weekdays, it also functions as a location for charity drives on weekends. With this, the school serves two functions: to educate the children and provide them with a place to hone their skills and to fuel organization's goals in reaching out to people who are in need.

For me, a building's outside appearance (being big or beautiful) doesn't really matter as long as it provides as many functions as possible for the people in the society. And so I agree with this same logic regarding people. No matter how beautiful or handsome somebody is on the outside when he doesn't help the society, he/she doesn't live up to his true value.
