Topic: We live in cities or towns which have museums displaying historical and cultural importance, but people do not visit them. How do you think people do not visit museums in their local areas？What is the importance of museums to society?  年轻人为何不去地方博物馆，博物馆对于社会有何重要性？2012.12.15

年轻人不去博物馆的原因：

1）现代人工作压力大，生活节奏快，面对激烈的竞争，没有时间和精力去参观博物馆。

2）很多地方的博物馆年久失修，不能满足现代人的审美。娱乐方式的多样性分散了人们参观博物馆的精力，很多人喜欢在休闲的时候去电影院，购物中心或者和朋友聚餐。

博物馆的好处：

1）博物馆可以扮演教育者的角色，参观博物馆，不但可以拓宽人的知识面，而且可以开拓了人的视野。同时，年轻人会懂得学习前人的经验，反思过去，避免犯相同的错误。

2）很多博物馆可以可发成热门的旅游资源，既可以增加城市旅游收入，又可以提高城市的美誉度。毕竟，博物馆是城市文化底蕴的体现。

3） 有了博物馆，很多珍贵的历史文物以及古董就有了存储和保护的地方。因此，支持博物馆建设有助于保护历史文化遗产。

开头段：介绍文章的背景，在博物馆中，与艺术，历史和文化相关的物品得以展出。很多年前，人们喜欢去博物馆，或者是出于对于历史的兴趣或者是为了消磨时光。但是，一个显著的现象就是，现代人对于参观博物馆似乎是兴趣不浓。

Museums are buildings in which objects of artistic, cultural, historical are displayed and stored. Several decades ago, people are attracted to the museums for various reasons ranging from historical interest to killing time. （同上文一样的开头段，用在这篇文章里也合适）Yet, a noticeable phenomenon is that modern people take less interest in visiting museums. This essay will explore underlying reasons why many people lack interest in appreciating the historic objects and what functions museums should serve.

主体段第一段：客观和主观角度分析博物馆为何对于现代人没有吸引力。第一，年轻人太繁忙，没有时间参观博物馆。由于快节奏的生活以及激励的竞争，现代人很少有时间和心情去参观博物馆。同时，很多博物馆年久失修，因此不能满足现代人的审美，在很多人眼中，博物馆是没有吸引力和生气的。最后，各种娱乐方式正在分散人们的精力。具体而言。很多年轻人喜欢在空闲的时候去电影院，购物中心以及或者和朋友聚餐。

Why modern people are reluctant to visit museums is discussed by some relevant authorities. Initially, youngsters are occupied to visit museums. Due to ever-accelerating pace of modern society and intense competition, modern people seldom have time and mood to visit museums. Also, many museums have been worn for years without repair and thus fail to cater to people's aesthetic taste. Hence，in the eyes of sightseers, they are simply unattractive. Ultimately, the availability of various recreational facilities has been distracting modern people's attention. More precisely, young adults' spare time has been allocated to theaters, shopping malls or restaurants.

主体段第二段：谈及博物馆对于个人和社会的意义。博物馆能起到教育游客的作用，自然历史博物馆和人类学博物馆不仅可以扩大知识面，还可以开阔眼界。而且可以通过历史遗产清楚地了解到历史事件的过程，鼓励下一代变得更爱国更勤奋。同时，博物馆可以加入一些娱乐因素，这样既能创造经济收益，又能提高博物馆的名声，吸引更多的游客。现在很多博物馆就开设了不同的服务来增加收入或是参观量。

Virtually, on no account can we overlook the immense value of museums. Firstly, a museum of natural history or an anthropological museum can not only enlarge one's knowledge scope but also broaden one's horizons. After all, some museums enact the role of educators because they vividly unveil the process of historical events by the display of historic legacies. A case in point is that a visit to military museums will educate the young generation to be more patriotic and inspire them to be more industrious. Meanwhile, visitors can reflect on the past and thus learn from historical lessons so that the next generation can avoid committing the same blunders. Also, a museum is, to some extent, a tourist attraction, hence, applying moderate entertaining factors to its decoration or visiting instruction can help it generate immense economic value, which in turn boosts its reputation and attracts more tourists. To open a theater or have some opera shows, concerts and lectures in the museum might be a commendable suggestion in order to increase attendance.（和上文的论证博物馆的教育和娱乐意义的论据是一样的，把上文的两点论据可在一起说，这两题是论据共享题）

结尾段：总结全文，博物馆是人们学习历史知识以及享受欢乐时光的好去处。因此，对于个人和社会，博物馆有其不可替代的作用。

As has been mentioned above, it is not difficult to reach the conclusion that museums are ideal places for modern people to acquire history-related knowledge and have a great time. Therefore, they have indispensable role to play both for every individual and for the whole society.
