　　大作文： When designing a building，the most important thing to take into account is the intended use of the building rather than its outward appearance. to what extent do you agree or disagree。

　　It is more important for a building to serve a purpose than to look beautiful. Architects shouldn’t worry about producing building as a work of art. Do you agree or disagree?

　　提綱：

　　I agree with the view presented above that function should come first in architecture, although I have no intention to deny that beauty is also an important element. （非謂語+同位語從句+讓步狀語從句+賓語從句）

　　In essence, any building is constructed to serve a purpose, which might beaccommodating, storing, recreating, entertaining, manufacturing and so forth. Therefore utility is widely recognized by most architects and the general public as well. It is especially practical today to consider such characteristics asspatial grammar, convenience, firmness, material cost and construction speed in the residential construction due to the stress on house access from the increasing population and the development of urbanization. Focusing on function is also a cost saving practice as various ornaments which serve no obvious function would be simplified at the greatest extent or even eliminated. （定語從句+被動句+形式主語+動名詞+因果從句）

　　However, artistic structures can be seen in many places around the world. Human has the nature to pursue beauty and express their feelings through art worksand architecture definitely is one of them by which this goal can be achieved. Over emphasis on architectural function tends to global similarity asinternational tourists have witnessed. In contrast, a building with certainaesthetic value is always unique and therefore adorned by local people or even foreigners and cherished as a cultural treasure, such as the Bird’s Nest and theWater Cube in Beijing which have been not only an ordinary Olympic stadium or a swimming pool but also a hot tourist spot due to their unique splendid exterior. However, the external appearance should not be the most important consideration asa good looking but less useful building is just a waste of substantial resources such as wood, steel, cement, energy sources and labor force, all of which have to be invested in construction. (被動句+并列句+定語從句+方式狀語從句+對比句+not only but also+因果從句)

　　In my personal view, it would be ideal that a building satisfies both functional and aesthetic aspects. If these two cannot be achieved simultaneously, then function should be taken as the priority instead of the outward look. （形式主語+條件狀語從句+被動句）
