Some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design but others do not like it. In my opinion, any urban design should take the citys original cultural heritage into account. The designers should suit their design to local conditions and try to take advantage of the local resources.<题目改写> First, a citys regional characteristics or local cultural heritage are its symbol, its identity. In a mountainous area, too many unconventional, super-futuristic buildings will not be compatible with the citys landscapes. Without these landscapes, it is just another so called modern city composed of concrete and steel. Take Beijing for example. In the past few years, Beijing has been removing a large number of such alleys traditionally called hutong, in order to make it become a real international city. But without these hutongs can this city still be called Beijing, an ancient capital? The disappearance of hutongs means the disappearance of a period of history, a cordial lifestyle, and even the disappearance of Beijing itself. Then Beijing will lose its uniqueness.<总分；举例> Second, it can help a city save a lot of money by suiting the design to local conditions and try to take advantage of the local resources. This is especially important to small cities, like this one in a mountainous area near Guiyang. We all know Guiyang is a developing city, not very rich. Unconventional, super-futuristic buildings mean large need of money input. Then more burdens may be added to this city, which will run counter to the citys original purpose of developing itself. Instead, if connections between a citys culture and the various urban sectors, including housing, infrastructure and governance, are well made, the maximum economic benefits will be achieved.<总分；分析题目现状> Besides, the modernization should be a gradual process. More haste, less speed. Nonetheless, it should not be overlooked that the shortcomings of futuristic-style constructing outweigh its advantages brought. In conclusion, any urban design should take the citys original cultural heritage into account. The designers should suit their design to local conditions and try to take advantage of the local resources. A scientific city design should be dependent on the citys regional characteristics, on a case-by-case basis. Maybe We Have a Better IdeaFew things can add as much colors to the regional features of a city as the look of its CBD. Hence, we know Manhattan of Big Apple, Pudong of Shanghai. Indeed, they are the most typical sights projecting a skyline of a modern city. However, should a CBD in the world look all like? Who told us it should solely be made up of unconventional, super-futuristic buildings? And should they stand out from their surroundings? Answers to these questions are universally and unequivocally No.A CBD is not a detached but integral part of a city. To prevent it from being too extreme or monstrous, it supposedly goes with the general style of the rest parts of the city. In the past, we Chinese have learnt so many hard and painful lessons. We could have had a Beijing with more Chinese traditional characteristics, more valuable cultural heritage preserved and above all more integral and harmonious Tian An-men Square to present to the world. If our grand fathers had been more willing to listen to the advice of some personages, mankind could have known another Paris of a totally different style in the world.Secondly, with more and more mortals being aware of the value of eco-friendliness, those unconventional, super-futuristic buildings made especially of steel, concrete structures and other eco-unfriendly materials are being increasingly questioned, suspected and forsaken. A China southern city like GY should, perhaps, model its CBD on that of Davos rather than New York or Shanghai. Instead of erecting skyscrapers and towers, GY ought to make its CBD delicate and pleasing, offering bankers and businessmen from across the world comfortable and cozy offices.Finally, a trend that has caught on since some time ago is that regional is international. The world is world nowhere because of its unity and sameness but because of its diversity and variety. To add her own measure of colors to the world, CBD in GY should be local, regional and reflecting the distinctive features of the city. Just a look would give one familiar with her an intimacy “Thats GY all over!” The day when such a CBD is completed, she can be a resort of another sort riveting people all over the world doing business in the area while enjoying her beauty and warm comfort.Therefore, the municipal and city-developers ought to give it a serious thought before turning whatever foreign design companys blue print to concrete and steel. Maybe we can come up with a better idea a new type of CBD, eco-friendly, amiable and economical, might set a new precedent!No one can have failed to notice the fact that Chinese culture has become increasingly diversified in the past decades. This can be embodied by evidences in many fields, one of which is architecture. Recently newspapers have reported that officials in a little-known mountainous area near Guiyang, Guizhou Province wanted to turn the area into a “central business district” for Guiyang and invited a foreign design company to give it an entirely new look. The design company came up with a blueprint for unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. This has aroused a heated debate. Some approve of the bold innovation of the design while others claimed that it failed to reflect regional characteristics or local cultural heritage. When asked of my opinion, I am inclined to agree with the former one, and I base my point of view on the following reasons.In the first place, an unconventional or exotic design is in accordance with the primary function of this area. As we are told, this lot of land is meant to be a “central business district”. As the name indicates, this area is intended for business, most possibly international business, which is imaginable in the context of the nations move of reform and opening-up to the outside world. Such being the case, an innovative and super-futuristic design of the areas is quite understandable, for it may demonstrate local peoples wish to embrace and integrate with other cultures around the world. More foreign investors might be attracted here, which is just the aim of this program.In the second place, allowing space for novel things is essential for the development of an area. The concept of ancient and modern or that of local and alien is relative. What seems ancient now used to be modern centuries ago; similarly, what looks exotic today might be deemed natural tomorrow. A person needs to accept new knowledge to grow and the same is true with an area or a country. While new things often meet with objections at first, they are mostly accepted and loved later. A number of examples can be listed, with the most striking ones being the art museum in Paris designed by Bei Luming, a Chinese architect, and the Opera House in Sydney, whose designer only received due respect years after his death.Admittedly, we should respect and treasure traditional and regional culture, inherit it and carry it on. However, preserving the old and traditional should not be the reason to refuse the new and modern.Bringing what has been discussed into conclusion, we may claim that it is understandable and acceptable for people in the above-mentioned area to adopt the foreign design. ounting on my fingers, I have stayed here for about three months. So I make a brief summary for the last three months here.Because the design phase of the working drawings of the Ying Zhang long distance pipeline needed for field location in mid-May, I had a chance to begin my career in advance and take part in the study of Ying Zhang pipeline routing. It lasted for twenty days.During the 20 days, I was inquisitive and tried hard to improve myself. I aggressively finished the assignment given by the master, while studying specification related to storage and transportation at night so as to prepare for future design work. Meanwhile, I seized any opportunity to learn from the predecessors who participate in the project of pipeline routing. In this way, the theory of long-distance transport pipeline and ability of practice and application had been greatly improved.In the meantime, I had mastered the principles of pipeline routing in the gas transmission project and had more comprehensively understood the route selection of general crossing project and crossing methods. Besides, I was able to read and make full use of topographic maps and GPSnavigator.I returned to school in early June because for the thesis defense. During the 10 days in school, I efficiently arranged the time. As a student, I perfectly accomplished the final testI get A for my graduation design. It is a good return for my hard work, then I successfully obtained degree certificate and diploma, completed all of the formalities in school and prepared for the leave. As a monitor, I organized my classmates to enjoy in basketball match, soccer match, graduation photo, graduation dinners and go through all kinds of formalities. After that I went back to company in late June and took part in the final phase of plotting, publishing and filing. As a new employee, I joined the training and education activities.In this way, I comprehensively studied the drawing of long-distance pipeline schematic, understood the rules and regulations of the company, skilled in the using CAD, office, pdsoft, Q-piping. Thus, I achieved a higher level when using those tools in design work. Moreover, I pay great attention to the relationship with the other employees. With regard to the new employees, we learned from and helped each other; With regard to the older employees, I would take initiative to help do something, when encountering some problems that I couldnt resolve, I would ask and learn from them. I obtained a lot both in dong things and getting along with others, so I would like to thank for the help from the leaders and colleagues.In mid-August, due to the demands of the work, two other colleagues and I were sent toSouthwest Branch of China Petroleum Engineering Company(CPE) in Chengdu of Sichuan for one year of study.Now, I had studied in CPE for about half a month, I deeply felt that the leaders gave much hope to us, but also felt the pressure and responsibility. Before leave for Chengdu, I had decided to work hard and live up to the expectations of leadership and the company. In the Southwest Branch, three of us made efforts to learn, actively work and search for ways to get into this new group as soon as possible.In the interim, we quickly adjusted to new work and environment. According to the arrangement of the company, first of all, we need adapt to the company's environment and the pace of work, and studied three-dimensional mapping software- autoplant on my own so as to prepare for the future work. Then the company would organize a software training. Eventually we would begin project design work in different project groups.We strongly carried out this arrangement, while in spare time, I also took the initiative to learn more knowledge for doing some simple tasks such as printing drawings, accepting and delivering documents, organizing documents for the senior employees around. Take advantage of these opportunities, I quickly adapted to the new company's environment and also learned the company's various design documents, the direction of the design process, some typical design of the flow chartIn short, during the three-month period, I had grown up a lot, both in practical work, theoretical knowledge and the way of getting along with others. I had become more mature and stable. Consciously, I felt I had reached the company's requirements and were still fast-growing and improving, therefore I gave a summary for passing probation. 专心-专注-专业
