提纲：

School curriculum design has always been a common concern for the authorities, school teachers and parents as well, and history is one of the subjects causing a debate. While some people cannot see its relevance to our current life, I’d like to emphasize its importance in modern society.

Those who advocate the elimination of history see things in separate rather than in connection. They presume that history is about everything that happened in the past; therefore has nothing to do with our present life which has changed into a completely different world. Accordingly they claim that studying history is a waste of time and should be removed from school class. However, it is because of the constant change of the world that we need to grasp something unchangeable which can always be found in the study of history. This interpretation of the subject of history is blind to the general principles presented in the past.

It is said that there is nothing new in the world, which applies that we can draw on the experience of our ancestors. History helps children to better and deeper understand the changing world and develop sensibility, judgment and adaptability to their personal life and the society. Such qualities help students to avoid many mistakes and better prepare for their successful and rewarding future life. In addition, history is also about culture and tradition due to its regional and racial features. It reminds us of our root and enhances our identity. Children learning history can better appreciate their traditional culture.

To sum up, history is a best way for us to see the current world and predict the future. History is especially important for children to learn because it makes them more aware of themselves and the world and provide cultural identity as well.
