【学习历史的重要性】
Topic:
Learning about the past has no value for thoseof us living in the present. Do you agree ordisagree? Use specific reasons and examples tosupport your answer.
Model Essay:
People often say Those who dont understandhistory will repeat the mistakes of the past. I totallydisagree. I dont see any evidence that people havemade smart decisions based on their knowledge of the past. To me, the present is what isimportant, not the past. I think that people, the weather, and politics determine whathappens, not the past.
People can change. We cant assume that people will continue to hate one another justbecause they have had hated one another for years. Look at Turkey and Greece. When Turkeyhad an earthquake, Greece sent aid. When Greece had an earthquake, Turkey sent aid. Now,these two countries are cooperating and looking forward to improved relations. No doubt, if welooked at the past, we could have thought this was a lost cause. But people change.
The weather can change. Farmers think that they can plant certain crops because thesecrops have always grown well in their fields before. But the weather can change. There can be along drought. The crops that have always worked well , will die. A drought-resistant cropneeds to be tried. If we looked at the past, we would not have changed our crop and we wouldhave lost our farm. Weather changes.
Politics an change. According to my way of thinking, politicians must be responsive tochanges in the people. If politicians looked only at the past, they would always say the samething. People change. On the whole, people today care about human rights. They warn allpeople to have the equal rights. If we looked at the past in the United States, we would see alot of discrimination against races, women, and sexual orientation. Now, that is changing.Politicians changes, too.
As a rule what is important today is to follow the mood of the moment. We cant be looked inthe past. It doesnt do us any good to think about the past. People, the weather, and politicscan change in any direction. The direction of this change, in my opinion, can not be predictedby studying the past.
A principals job is not as easy one. I only hope that in the future, I can model my ownleadership abilities on the ones I observed in school. I hope I can be as firm, fair, andforesighted as my principal.
