Task one： bar chart 和这个图表极为类似
Overall, rock was the most popular genre【类别】 among all age groups, while jazz had the lowest sales figures. Younger consumers purchased more music than older age groups, with the 16-22 demographic【】 accounting for the highest sales of all genres.
Rock music dominated the market, with sales peaking at 4.8 million among 16-22-year-olds and remaining above 2 million even for the 58+ age group. Pop was the second best-selling【销售最好】 genre, particularly popular with 23-31-year-olds at 3.8 million units sold.
Classical music had relatively stable sales across all age groups, ranging from 1.5 million to 4 million, with its highest performance among the 58+ demographic. In contrast【先比较而言】, jazz was the least favoured genre, with sales never surpassing 2.8 million across all age groups.
Task two：Government should protect culture. Therefore, some people believe that new buildings should be built in traditional styles. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Admittedly, constructing new buildings in traditional styles is an effective way to protect cultural heritage【文化遗产】. Traditional architecture embodies【体现】 historical craftsmanship【工匠精神】 and cultural values, which can foster a sense of belonging among residents. For example, many countries have integrated architectural elements【建筑元素】 into modern commercial complexes【当下的商业综合体】, successfully attracting tourists and preserving local culture. This approach not only enhances cultural awareness but also boosts the local economy through cultural tourism.
However, rigidly enforcing traditional styles may hinder urban development【阻碍社会发展】. Modern cities require functional buildings to meet contemporary needs, such as high-rise office towers and large-scale public facilities. Strict adherence to【遵循】 traditional designs could limit architectural innovation and increase construction costs. For instance, skyscrapers, which are essential for maximizing land use in dense urban areas, cannot easily incorporate traditional features without compromising structural integrity.
