"The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives."

命题过于片面
1 国家兴亡史有助于治国决策避免重蹈覆辙，
2 自然史有助于制定措施

The statement limits the value of history study to the extreme which make it unacceptable. In my point of view, the study of history has value in diverse aspects rather than the only extent that relevant to our daily lives as it stands.

In the first place, studying the history of nations, whatever ancient nations that had gone or relatively new nations that are now in booming times, could badly help the leader of a country to make correct decision when affront big choices and even help us common people to deal with our business and form a huge sight. Take the Qing Dynasty for example, its national power was quiet strong in the early period, which hardly any other nations could be compared with. While the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was rather self-confident and afraid other nation might learn from and then take over his own empire, he pursued a self-blocked strategy, which he thought could make sure his country taking the lead for ever. But the history demonstrates him wrong, which give all modern nation leaders the idea that they should insist opening up policy to keep their country strong. Also, we can conclude by studying this nation history that one can not keep excellent all by one’s own, instead, it is only communicating and learning from each other that makes long-term heading.

Secondly, studying history could also give us statistics and experiences to solve modern problems. In the area of flood-defending, people learn whatever history they could find about the region, get whatever information that related to the water conditions, such as the historical highest water level,  on which they rely to deal with the water. Also, scientists tell that the Ozone above the polar of the earth has become thinner over the past decade and the clime all over the world has become warmer, both of which are on the basis of comparison with history. How could we ignore all of these areas to which studying history brings value and say that the study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives!

In sum, the study of history has value not only in the aspect that relevant to our daily lives, but also in many other aspects associated with the society. History is a mirror and also a book which could make people and society that pay most attention on studying it benefit a lot.

The statement limits the value of history study to the extreme which make it unacceptable[句子不太通顺 limit...to  有这种说法么?? ]. In my point of view, the study of history has value in diverse aspects rather than the only extent that relevant to our daily lives as it stands.

In the first place, studying the history of nations, whatever ancient nations that had gone or relatively new nations that are now in booming times, could badly[用反了吧] help the leader of a country to make correct decision when affront[confront] big choices and even help us common people to deal with our business and form a huge sight[widen our sight]. Take the Qing Dynasty for example, its national power was quiet[quite] strong in the early period, which hardly[almost no] any other nations could be compared with. While the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was rather self-confident and afraid other nation might learn from[ her] and then take over[invade] his own empire, he pursued a self-blocked[貌似没这个词. introverted] strategy, which he thought could make sure his country taking the lead for ever. But the history demonstrates him wrong[that he was wrong], which give all modern nation leaders the idea that they should insist opening up policy to keep their country strong. Also, we can conclude by studying this nation history that one can not keep excellent all by one’s own, instead, it is only communicating and learning from each other that makes long-term heading.

Secondly, studying history could also give us statistics and experiences to solve modern problems.
