People
 have mixed views about the importance of
history
instead
 of
science
 and
technology
.
Although
 I accept that
students
 can benefit from studying
history
, I believe that
science
 and
technology
 are more useful in modern societies. On the one hand, it is understandable that so many
people
 think learning
history
 is more important.
This
 is mainly because it can shape youngsters’ minds and improve their critical thinking abilities. Learning to read and comprehend in-depth views from important historical events makes them draw lessons and learn experiences from making the same mistakes.
For example
, learning the war that happened in the past was so brutal and cruel, that it brings about no benefits but harm to both economy and the well-being of
people
. Based on
this
, children will cherish peace and value stability, and enhance their national identity.
On the other hand
, university courses like medicine, engineering and information
technology
 are more likely to be beneficial than
history
 courses. In fact, society has a greater demand for scientific and technical personnel.
Science
-related courses provide more job opportunities and career progression for
students
 who take them. To be more specific,
science
 and
technology
 can bring progress to society and improve the quality of life for
people
.
Such
as

show examples
advances in medical
science
 have brought cures for once fatal diseases and information
technology
 has allowed us to contact family members or friends via mobile phones.
Therefore
, a focus on
science
 and
technology
 in education could bring higher salaries for
students
 and a greater future for society. In conclusion,
history
 and
science
 are both necessary parts of the
students
' education process, and I believe that
science
 and
technology
 are much more needed in contemporary societies.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
