SET口說講稿分享 by Martin- Describe an old building

Describe an old building. You should say:

• where it is


• what it is used for


• and why you like/dislike it.

 

Today I want to talk about an old building, which is a Buddhist temple situated in the suburbs of Kaohsiung City in the southern part of Taiwan. I'm not sure when this temple was built, but it indeed looks very old... my guess is that it should have at least 100 years old.

 

This temple is actually quite small compared to others but it is a very popular one among Kaohsiung residents because it is believed that miracles happen when you devote yourself in this religion. For this specific reason, many believers go on a frequent basis to pray for good health and prosperity.

 

During the last Chinese New Year celebration, I had the chance to visit this temple and this place was surely packed! We had to make long lines just to see the image of Buddha and the different gods. I remember that the entire building was very colorful and we could also see lots of figurines aligned on the interior walls.

 

I like the building itself because its appearance is very traditional and pretty well preserved. But most importantly, it is rich in historical value. However, I actually didn't enjoy my last visit because it was way too crowded, it was a rainy day, and things were quite chaotic.
