There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.Tip 1: Writing a transitional sentence can build a bridge between paragraphsParas. 1-2 Paras. 3-4195919611980Over the next 20 yearsgovernment; the UNcommittee；funds；experts；testGerman engineersthousands of engineers;workers;fifty countries80 million dollarssigned；b
