Task answer

The fact that people take pictures of themselves instead of the beautiful places that we have is some kind of depressing. Many great architects, engineers, and workers have put their life on planning and building these places and it's just a shame to see people do not appreciate that. I believe that people can look themselves in the mirror and enjoy it as much as they want but how many times does someone get to see such gorgeous places? First of all, I'm not against taking selfies and having images of yourself. But doing it all the time without having a single picture of any history that has happened in the country is a separate matter to discuss. Missing out on this buildings and special sites is like not knowing about anything that is happening in the world you live in. That's why scientists exist who examine the outer space. It's so fascinating so know about how things started, how did they happen, and have all kinds of questions in your head. There are very few opportunities in life that all people get to enjoy. Trying to find out about the history of all these extraordinary places is one of those chances that everyone gets. It's just so amusing and joyful to look at them and just wonder about the answers and question you have in your head. So many people are actually missing out on this matter and that is indeed a sad fact. Our ancestors have built these fascinating sites for us to use and there are lots of people who don't do that. Let's try to change that.
