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, Id 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.
学校课程设计一直是学校、教师、家长共同关注的问题，历史是引发争论的问题之一。虽然有些人看不到它与我们现在生活的相关性，但我想强调它在现代社会中的重要性。那些主张消除历史的人，在分离的事物中看到的东西，而不是联系。他们认为历史是关于过去发生的一切，因此与我们现在的生活没有任何改变，这改变了一个完全不同的世界。因此，他们声称学习历史是浪费时间，应该从学校的课堂上除去。然而，这是因为这个世界的不断变化，我们需要掌握一些不可改变的东西，它可以在历史研究中发现。这一历史主题的解释是盲目的，在过去的一般原则。据说世界上没有什么新东西，我们可以借鉴我们祖先的经验。历史可以帮助孩子更好、更深入地了解变化的世界，培养他们的个人生活和社会的敏感性、判断和适应能力。这样的品质有助于学生避免许多错误，并更好地为他们的成功和有意义的未来生活做准备。此外，历史文化和传统，由于它的地域和种族特征。它提醒我们的根，提高我们的身份。学习历史可以更好地欣赏他们的传统文化。总之，历史是我们看到当今世界和预测未来的最好方式。历史对孩子来说尤其重要，因为它使他们更加了解自己和世界，并提供文化身份。
