Some people think that high school students should learn literature in their own country. Others believe that it is more important to study literature all over the world.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some people get hold of the idea that
students
in high school
are required to learn the literature
in their own nation, while others consider that learning more foreign literature
is more important. Personally, I think learning from both two types of literature
is equally important.
Form the one hand, students
in high school
can have a better understanding of the culture
and history
of their nation by reading some native literature
. The ancients wrote about their lives, society, architecture and so on, which provides detailed information for us to investigate the development of our nation's history
. For example
, architects always are inspired by previous works in literature
and design buildings with more national characteristics. Besides
, the ideas and things recorded in the literature
can reflect the wisdom of the ancient, which can be leveraged to tackle some issues. Therefore
, learning from native literature
can enhance the understanding of our history
and culture
.
On the other hand
, learning from foreign articles can broaden one's horizons, and we are able to absorb advanced knowledge from different countries
. There is no doubt that developed countries
capture more advanced tools and technology. It is justified that students
in developing nations are required to study the literature
from developed countries
, which is beneficial to social progress and industrial development. Meanwhile, literature
from different countries
always contains different art and culture
, such
as ink painting in China, oil painting in Europe and Ukiyoe in Japan. As a consequence, high school
students
can be more creative and thoughtful by studying foreign works.
In conclusion, due to a better understanding of national culture
and history
and learning several cultures and art, students
in high school
should be allowed to learn literature
from both national and overseas.Submitted by 1998v7 on
