Some people believe that it is more important to teach children the literature and history of their own country, rather than the literature and history of other countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is the case that

children

should be taught the

literature

and

history

Use synonyms

of their countries first and foremost, rather than the

literature

and

of other countries. I totally agree with

and will give my reasons below. In my opinion, there are some possible reasons for teaching pupils the

literature

and

history

of their own nations.

Firstly

, students enjoy learning

place they live, and by studying the ideas, cultures and histories of their countries, they would develop a sense of identity. At the same time, parents

can help

with school work.

For example

Consequently

Finally

By contrast

, studying global events and foreign novels could cause unnecessary

and confusion.

For example

, I do not see the point in presenting Russian and Chinese

history

to a British child who has not learnt yet the

of their own country. Surely

children

may understand the historical events which happen in London more than those that happen in Moscow or Beijing.
