Some people say history is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that, in today’s world, subjects like Science and Technology are more important than History. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The emphasis of our school education nowadays is widely discussed. Some people agree with the importance of learning

history

,

while

Linking Words

others hold the view that

science

Use synonyms

and

technology

Use synonyms

should play a more vital role. In my opinion, both kinds of

subjects

Use synonyms

should be regarded as essential parts of educational content.

However

Linking Words

, I would argue that

history

Use synonyms

serves as a basis for other

subjects

Use synonyms

and is

thus

Linking Words

more crucial than

science

Use synonyms

and

technology

Use synonyms

. On the one hand, the necessity of

subjects

Use synonyms

like

science

Use synonyms

and

technology

Use synonyms

cannot be trivialised for several reasons.

Firstly

Linking Words

, they not only tackle current

problems

but

also

avert hidden dangers in the future.

For example

Linking Words

, as we are facing an increasing number of environmental

problems

Use synonyms

, we need a host of technologies to purify contaminated water and air.

Secondly

Linking Words

, the ensuing effect of coping with these

problems

Use synonyms

creates a huge demand for people with expertise in our labour market. We want our children to be well-prepared to meet these needs and we,

therefore

,

therefore

Linking Words

encourage them to build a solid foundation in school, namely by gaining sufficient basic knowledge in these respects.

Furthermore

Linking Words

,

science

Use synonyms

and

technology

Use synonyms

can find other possibilities that embody hope for the future.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, I do support the argument that learning

history

Use synonyms

is more important. There is an old Chinese proverb saying that

history

Use synonyms

is like a mirror that aids us in understanding the truth about today and the future. Studying

history

Use synonyms

will definitely be helpful for self-reflection, through the experiences of the prior period. When people delve into the past, they can sometimes have epiphanies about the causes and consequences of current issues.

Otherwise

Linking Words

, the same patterns may reoccur, if no one is conscious of the

problems

or even the hazards underneath.

Nevertheless

Linking Words

, the focus on learning

history

Use synonyms

should be partly modified in our education.

Instead

Linking Words

of simply memorising dates and incidents, children should be more engaged in contemplating "What can we learn and gain from the past?" In conclusion, studying either

history

or

subjects

Use synonyms

such

as

science

Use synonyms

and

technology

Use synonyms

is essential, and I would pay more attention to the profound meaning of teaching

history

in our schools.
