Some people believe that it is more important to teach children the literature of their own country than other countries. Do you agree or disagree?

It is sometimes argued that we should place more emphasis on teaching local

literature

than foreign one. While it seems beneficial to teach local

literature

, I would argue that children should

also

be taught about the

literature

of other nations.

To begin

with, I agree that children could benefit from being taught about

li

terature o

Suggestion

the literature

f their home country. By learning local

literature

, young students can better understand and appreciate the history of where they were born.

For example

, since all the poems about the wars in [your country] are taught to the students, most of them are aware of how bloody the wars were and how important it is to stop the history from repeating itself. Without local

literature

, I believe that few students would be interested in studying history.

However

, it seems to me that young students should

also

teach

also

taught about foreign works of

literature

. The

first

reason is that the

literature

of their home country may be too boring, which makes learning extremely frustrating.

For instance

, students have to memorize many poems that are hardly relevant to their lives, and

therefore

most of them are reluctant to study

this

subject. Since foreign

literature

gives them a totally new learning experience, it could provide them with a motivation to study the subject.

Additionally

, the

literature

of other countries exposes students to a variety of different cultures, so studying it helps broaden their knowledge about other parts of the world. In conclusion, while I accept that students can benefit from learning local

literature

, I believe that foreign works should

also

be an important part of the curriculum.
