BS, I sense your frustration in not being able to get your ideas down on paper fast enough. You do remarkably well considering you are a non-native speaker. You're slowly beginning to emerge from your shell and you're beginning to think in English.
Your sentence structure and composition are fine, and will surely improve even further the more work that you become involved in. Very well done BS.

(The) history of a country is establish(ed) by the older generation who have lived or died for it. Each page of history is marked by their glorious (victories) that are unforgettable to them. Historic places where everyone can see and touch are the (clearest) evidence (of) that. As long as these historic buildings are (p)reserved, they will feel that their spiritual values still remain.
Young generation(s) (were) born when there (was) almost no trace of wars. They just know about historical event(s) indirectly through books or stories told by others. They are taught to be proud of that, but do they actually feel proud? Nowaday(s) there are so many sources of knowledge that young people sometimes get confused about the authentication of the information they have. They need something real, something that they can see and feel (for themselves.) What else do they need but historic places?. Historic buildings are (an)illustration (of) what they are taught to believe (in).
Following plan “B,” that (of) placing modern buildings in the outskirts of a city is a potential solution for saving historic places. Building houses out of the city will not only save money, but also extend the scope of industr(ial) area(s) to (underdeveloped) areas. We should think about some other solutions before deciding to replace historic building(s) (with) modern ones.
(An)historic building is not simply a place that people can visit like (other) tourist places , it is the demonstration of the long and proud history of a country. (Here before them is) real evidence that (the young(er) generation and people from all over the world can see whe(n)ever they want to find out about a particular nation. Therefore, they should be prioritized in (being maintained) over other kinds of architectural work.

Thanks so much, Kitos. As you corrected my errors, you naturally inspired my desire to make it perfect. I learned to watch every step I take in writing. It did slow me down but I think I am in the right track. This is better than rushing to the final line to fit the time but making a lot of mistakes  |
