History is a record or narrative description of past events. And the study of history is to disclose the stories happened in the past as well as enable people to benefit from it. How could study of history benefit us in contemporary time? The speaker asserts that the study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives. But I think the value of it doesn’t limit to our daily lives.

To begin with, I admit that the study of history influence our daily lives greatly. For one thing, people could also learn much more things from the study of history, which can help us to avoid mistakes that have made by our ancients as well as gain useful knowledge from success of our old generations. Take the business as an example. When companies encounter on problems, the first thing coming into their mind is to ask themselves have these problems ever happened before. If so, they would compare the situation nowadays with the former and try to find the proper way to deal with the problems. This can explain why cases study is so popular in business department at universities. For another, the celebrities and famous figures in history are examples for people nowadays to follow. At school, teachers enlighten the students the basic virtues of human being and would take Washington for example because of his honesty, or Edison for his great passion on inventing. And parents their emotions, and ensure that the children know what is right or wrong and good or bad. In this sense, the study of history contribute a lot to the well growth of the young, which not only perform as a crucial part in educating children in daily life but also make sure our children are prepared for the future.


What's more, study of history can also help us to understand people and societies. Understanding the operations of people and societies is difficult, which need to analyze much information. History offers a storehouse of information about how people and societies behave. How can we evaluate war if the nation is at peace—unless we use historical materials? How can we understand genius, the influence of technological innovation, or the role that beliefs play in shaping family life, if we don't use what we know about experiences in the past? Data from the past must serve as our most vital evidence in the unavoidable quest to figure out why our complex species behaves as it does in societal settings.


At last, study of history is a necessary way to predict what will happen in the future. The past causes the present, and so the future. Any time we try to know why something happened—whether a shift in political party dominance in the American Congress, a major change in the teenage suicide rate, or a war in the Balkans or the Middle East—we have to look for factors that took shape earlier. Only through studying history can we grasp how things change; only through history can we begin to comprehend the factors that cause change; and only through history can we understand what elements of an institution or a society persist despite change.
We know more about consequences of the First and Second World War; we will more strongly avoid the new world war.

To sum up, the study of history has value not only in our daily life, but also in understanding people and societies and predicting future. We can benefit a lot from it in the fields mentioned above.

And parents their emotions, and ensure that the children know what is right or wrong and good or bad.（好像变成断句了。可以和前句结合在一起：把句号改为逗号，去掉and，用伴随表达：parenting their emotions, and ensuring that the children know what is right or wrong and good or bad.） In this sense, the study of history contribute a lot to the well growth of the young, which （which 要指growth of the young 还是 the study of history?如果是后者的话，指不到）not only perform as a crucial part in educating children in daily life but also make sure our children are prepared for the future.

整体写得很流畅，条理清晰，但是从意思上看这三点内容似乎有些重复。向你学习，我字数总是太少。
