3月11日雅思大作文真题

Some say history has little to offer, while others say studying the past helps the present. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some parts of society believe that the past has not offered anything, while others believe there is a lot to learn from the past. I completely agree with the second group of people due to the various aspect of the benefits of history.

On the one hand, it is argued that history could not be useful because the information is outdated and could not be informative. For example, the way the ancient public solved their transportation problem could not be used nowadays due to the development of how civilization tends to transport nowadays. Moreover, technology has been developed, so the thought structure of the past does not offer anything to help current society as the ancient public used hands to wash their clothes, while these days, each individual has an in-suite washing machine. However, the most important criterion is the culture has changed. In this way, the public could not follow the past path.

On the other hand, some communities believe the past provides various information, which I totally agree with. In my point of view, everybody can learn from past experiences, so they have the opportunity to reject the obstacles that previous civilizations have done. For instance, people can learn from ancient wars to figure out how peace could save many lives; further, they can track the route of civilisations that lead to devastation. At the moment, they find out the reason for the sabotage, and they do not repeat it.

In conclusion, in spite of the fact that some groups of people deny the benefit of the past, I think it could provide various kinds of data that lead to enhancing the lifestyle of individuals.

社会上有些人认为过去没有提供任何东西，而另一些人的信念是，从过去可以学到很多东西，由于历史的各方面好处，我完全同意第二类人的看法。

一方面，有人认为历史不可能是有用的，因为信息已经过时了，不可能有参考价值。例如，古代人解决交通问题的方式在今天就不能用了，因为今天的文明倾向于交通方式的发展。此外，技术已经发展了，所以，过去的思想结构并不能为现在的社会提供任何帮助，比如古代人用手洗衣服，而现在每个人都有一台室内洗衣机，然而，最重要的标准是文化已经改变。这样一来，公众就无法遵循过去的道路。

另一方面，一些社区认为过去提供了很多不同的信息，我完全同意这一点。在我看来，每个人都能从过去的经验中学习，因此，他们有机会拒绝以前的文明所做的障碍。例如，人们可以从古代的战争中学习，弄清楚和平如何能够拯救大量的生命，此外，他们能够追踪导致破坏的文明路线。此刻，他们发现了破坏的原因，他们就不会再重复。

总之，尽管有些群体否认过去的好处，但我认为它可以提供各种数据，导致提高个人的生活方式。
