编辑点评: 很多参加GRE的考生在做GRE写作的时候都没有写提纲的习惯,这是非常不好的。提纲在GRE写作当中起到了至关重要的作用。从今天起,我们将对GRE issue进行分析,弄清写作思路,这样才能让GRE issue得高分。 The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives. 只有研究和我们日常生活相关的历史才有价值。 正文: What is the value of studying history? Some argue that it is worthless if the study of history is irrelevant to our daily lives. However, the view towards history study is too narrow and bigoted.Admittedly, most people find values of studying history because it provides us with inspirations to guide our daily lives. History, during which great men and women worked through real difficulties and complexities, teaches us with examples we needs. When we look at histories, we put ourselves into different real characters and situations to test our own intellect and to learn courage, diligence and ethics. For instance, many people are attracted biographies for two reasons. One is the tales and myths they contain which appeal us a lot. But the other more important one is they serve to encourage and teach us. By learning the lifetime of Edison, we gain courage and persistence from his attitudes towards failures. From the speech of Martin Luther King, we appreciate the great value of ideal towards an equal society which we are still trying to build and complete. From this point of view, history concerns our daily lives because it inspires us with vivid examples which have values all human being want to share and learn. These values about humanities and ethics determine that history has its unique value to the extent that it is related to our daily lives. |
