• History: why is it useful?
• Chinese history is rich and fascinating.
• My teacher
• The importance ofunderstanding the past = our culture + identity
• Examples + learn from our past mistakes
When I was in high school I really enjoyed studying history. I think history is a very useful
and fascinating subject. First of all, it's very important to understand what happened in the past in
order to analyze today's geographical and political situation.
Chinese history is extremely long, especially if you compare it with American or Australian
history, and there are also a lot of dates to remember and that is a problem for students. But it's
because it is so rich that Chinese history is fascinating.
My history teacher was extremely good. He was very active and enthusiastic; he made the
class very lively and managed to keep our attention throughout the class.
I think it's essential to learn about different dynasties in China in order to enjoy our national
cultural heritage. I love to read about how the Great Wall was built or why Emperor Qin Shi
Huang had the Terra-Cotta Warriors made in Xi'an. It's just incredible and captivating.
Boys usually like to learn about famous battles and wars. I remember my teacher telling us
about the Second World War and the conflict with Japan. I think we can learn many things from
the past, especially about past mistakes we shouldn't commit again.
