IELTS task 1

"Some people think that studying the past offers no benefits to today’s life while others believe that history is a valuable source of information for us. Discuss both views and give your own opinion"

In this, the twenty-first century, all countries are searching for the best school-system that will prepare their children for everyday life. History has always been controversial because it requires lots of factual knowledge, which is considered to be useless nowadays.

First of all, I must acknowledge that history was one of the subjects taught in first schools in ancient Egypt. Indeed, historical knowledge can be implemented to solve problems in the workplace or everyday life because, as a matter of fact, history is a series of humanity's problems. Moreover one can easily acquire critical thinking through historical studies. Sooner or later this skill will be essential in one’s life and most of us learn it only by the sweat of our brow later.

On the other hand, most history classes are composed of vintages* and names of sovereigns. In order to think about an epoch we must be able to place facts and happenings into their right place and time. Also, students must dedicate time to study modern technology so replacing history classes is catching on.

In conclusion I wish to express my opinion regarding this topic since I am studying this subject at an advanced level. History has undeniably more facts to learn than, say, maths, however it also improves your logical skills and helps you to become a decent person. Nevertheless, I back those who would like to reduce the number of history classes in the last years of compulsory education.
