[正文]：
Pearl Buck, a famous American writer ever said, "If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday". No matter how tremendous change has happed in today, the firm connection between today and yesterday never been broken. No matter how new and complex today's life is, the past is a precious wealth for us since learning history could provide us significant experience and lead us to a splendid future.So as the author says, the study of history has value for daily lives, but not only daily lives, it also contribute value to many aspects of social development.

To begin with, the study of history does have great value when it is relevant to our daily life. Every single person's experience or single affair in history could not only make us know what had happened in history, but also make us a broader and more comprehensive view. History is a kind of rare treasure of human beings. Every single period of our history seems to be separated, but in deed, they are total summary of our development in every fields such as politics, economic, culture, art and military and so on. So these foregoing experiences could be taken into our own lives to handle with what we face today.

Moreover, besides great value in our daily life, the study of history is also very valuable to the extent that it is relevant to development of society. Only based on the fruits of ancestors, can we make great progress. As to individual, just like the outstanding scientist Newton said, "I can see further than others since I stand on the giant's shoulder". The forefather's experience is the foundation of our great development today. No one could gain any success merely based on the individual's effort without referencing the former knowledge or experience.


"Histories make man wise", said by famous British philosopher Francis Bacon. That is to say, what we can learn from history is not only the success but also the failure experience. History is like a mirror which could reflect what had happened in the past, and in turn we can avoid making the same or similar mistakes and taking the wrong way again. There are a great many examples for this. Nowadays, lots of people have started to protect environment of our planet, since they have been aware of wretched result from the destruction of environment, no matter whether people are reluctant or not. In order to avoid such tragedy recurring, people are willing to make every effort to maintain a good environment. For instance, there is a big hole above Antarctic sky due to carbon dioxide excessive pollution in the air, now most nations have paid more attention to the balance between developing economic and protecting environment, some nations even unite to establish a agreement to ensure to protect our planet in the future. To some extent, thanks to the great harm of pollution several years ago, thus the historical lesson becomes a warning bell to all of us.

To sum up, history is so valuable that it not only contributes precious experience to better our toady's lives, but also instructs us to create a splendid future. Therefore, with what the history told us, it is high time for us to work hard and construct a more beautiful planet.

开头虽然语句很精彩，而且引用了名言，但是细看一整段都没有点题，这样的风险太大了，建议放到第二段开头补充！第一段还是把自己的观点“亮”出来！

As to individual, just like the outstanding scientist Newton said, "I can see further than others since I stand on the giant's shoulder".（这个例子太多人用过，出现次数太多了，GRE会认为有雷同，作弊嫌疑。所以，务必自己开发一些可以用的其他经典名言或例子。） The forefather's experience is the foundation of our great development today. No one could gain any success merely based on the individual's effort without referencing the former knowledge or experience.（上段和此段观点似乎没太大区别。都是讲历史可以借鉴为今天服务。）

To some extent, thanks to the great harm of pollution several years ago, thus the historical lesson becomes a warning bell to all of us.(我个人认为，例子很好，但没能充分体现历史在此的作用。要是强调写一下前人对环境破坏的具体行为，可能效果会好些。）

To sum up, history is so valuable that it not only contributes precious experience to better our toady's lives, but also instructs us to create a splendid future. Therefore, with what the history told us, it is high time for us to work hard and construct a more beautiful planet.

总的说来，全文结构还不错。开头特别好，有引用，同时有自己的明确观点。后面的3段，总体不错，语言也运用得OK，但给人感觉是观点没有创新，名人的例子大家都在用，难免重复，这样会影响分数的。结尾还不错！
