Topic learning
Which knowledge is more important for students to study: history
and literature or science and mathematics? Different people may
have different opinion because of their varied angles of thought.
However, in my point of view, they are two main components of
study, and each one is indispensable for students to understand the
world as it is.
History and literature help students to deeply comprehend the
human's society, the relationship among individuals and nations, and
the main characters of mankind. For example, after learning the
history of the second world war, every student will realize the
enormous disasters and destroys brought about by the war, and
aware that peace is the primarily common goal for people all over
the world to struggle for. History and literature are important
because they are mirrors to reflect shortcomings as well as virtues
of ourselves and our society. If we say that history and literature
give spiritual guides for students to know our society, while, on the
other hand, science and mathematics thus play another important
role in shaping students' perspectives to the world. As we all know,
without architectural science, we would only live in caves or under
trees as our predecessors did ten thousand years ago, and without
printed techniques, we could never appreciate our favorite poem or
novel books. So we can clearly say that only when we grasp the
knowledge of science and mathematics, will we be able to increase
the living standard of mankind and make our life more convenient
and comfortable. To sum up, in order to deeply understand the world
and earn a better life, students should study hard on science and
mathematics as well as history and literature, since they are equally
important for people to build up their perspectives of life and
determine their final goals to strive for.
