#history #revelvant #world #study
History
 is the systemic study of the past. Some
people
 hold the opinion that learning about the past is useless. In fact,
people
 will never succeed without GAINING experience in the past. In
this
 essay, I will point OUT some reasons why it is important to learn about the past.
History
 is a GREAT SOURCE of information. UNDOUBTEDLY,
People
 want to know much clearer about their society's establishment and THE development process.
History
 OWNS valuable experience, which helps
people
 today IN MANY ASPECTS.
Consequently
, it enables
people
 to avoid repeating mistakes of the past.
For instance
, when
people
 learn more about the factors, which lead to a riot in the past
such
 as THE
second
 war world and climate changeS,
people
 ARE more vigilant to avoid UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS in the future.
In other words
,
history
 PROVIDES precious LESSONS THAT
PEOPLE
 CAN GAIN WITHOUT PRACTICING IN REALITY.
Furthermore
,
people
ALSO
 CLAIM THAT 'past is past' or '
history
 never repeats itself. Yet, there is much in
history
, which is relevant to our modern life. Studying other historical periods gives insights into different ways of life.
As a result
, they will be able to compare those societies with THEIRS.
Hence
, they will be more aware of the advancements in the current society. IN short,
historY
 enlightenS us to analyse how and why we have changed.
People
 will be conscious of the contributions of their forefathers and respect them more.
Besides
, it broadens our wisdom and outlook. With all reasons mentioned above, there is no successful present without lessons from the past and no future without learning how to live with our past. PERSONALLY, I SUPPOSE STUDYING
HISTORY
 STILL PLAYS A VITAL ROLE in
this
 DIGITAL age.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
