托福写作素材模板：学习历史的好处
01 素材段落
Studying history can help people understand what is happening at present and predict where we are going in the future. Our view of history shapes the way we view the present in that it provides us with answers about existing problems. For example, the energy crisis is a critical global issue that people are now confronting. It is difficult to solve without the complete understanding about how it started in the first place. Some environmentalists may focus on researching a new way of exploiting resources to improve productivity. However, by investigating this issue from an historical view, we find out that it is the endless desires of human beings that caused the whole crisis today. As a result, to successfully solve this problem brought by the past generation, we need to understand the origin of the problem and raise public awareness. That is what we can learn from history: truth and significance.
