提纲：
1：相关时有价值，对个人来讲得到鼓舞（inspiration）和一些道理（principles）。
   对个人：只有9 岁半的林浩，从倒塌的走廊上背出了两名昏迷(unconscious)的同学，而他在救同学时也受了伤。他的事迹鼓舞了千千万万的中国人。
告诉人们一些道理：以运动领域为例，从了解车往Michael Schumacher的成长经历，我们可以学到要想取得运动领域的成功，天赋(gift)和后天的努力(endeavor)都是必须的。
   
2：无关时也有其价值，对人类更好的认识世界起到作用。
首先，了解人类历史的发展进程可以指导我们人类朝正确的方向前进。
从经济领域角度来看：了解工业革命开始的社会发展，我们知道可持续发展的重要性：保护我们赖以生存的自然。

从科技领域来看：历史告诉我们科技是把双刃剑(a two-edged sword)，科技不能决定社会的一切，我们要正确的使用科技。
Eg. 生物工程(biological engineering)：对人类的健康带来革命性影响(revolutionary influence)，但生化武器(chemical and biological weapons)却给人类带来痛苦。

The author asserts that it is valuable only when the studying of history is relevant to our daily lives. In my view, I tend to agree that studying of history is valuable when it is relevant to our daily lives; however, I also agree that even if it is irrelevant to our daily lives, it has its value and plays an important role in promoting the development of the society.

On the one hand, when the study of history is relevant to our daily lives, it authentically takes a significant part. Through learning from the history, we can benefit a lot from it. It can inspire us. For example, consider the example of Lin Hao, who is a quack relief hero in Wenchuan earthquake of China. Facing the earthquake, he, as a student of 9 ages, saved two unconscious classmates in the earthquake. His brave behaviors inspire all the people of China.


Through studying the history relevant to our daily lives, we can learn some principles from it. For instance, in realm of sports, Michael Schumacher has won seven time world championship in his life. If we study his experience of growth, we can know that it is gift and endeavor that make him a success. So, we can learn a principle that If an athlete want to become great, both gift and endeavor are necessary.

On the other hand, even if the history is irrelevant to our daily lives, through studying it, we can also benefit a lot from it for all human beings. Studying the history of the development of the society, we can gain instrumental experience from history and know what we should to do for a more prosperous future of mankind. For example, in areas of the history of economic growth, through studying the history of industrial development from the Industrial Revolutionary to now, we realize that mankind faces a myriad of environmental problems-such as global warming, over-deforestation and so on-which are ascribed to the fast economic growth. By studying the history, we realize the importance of protecting environment; thus, idea of sustainable development is a base policy of many modern countries. In short, studying the history irrelevant to our daily lives can tell us what we should do and what we should not do for the purpose of creating a bright future.

In area of technological development, studying the history plays a significant role in making us understand the function of technology profoundly. In ancient times, people wrongly assumed that technology had no demerits; however, through studying the history of technological development. We realize that technology is a two-edged sword. For example, consider the technology of biological engineering, anyone would agree that biological engineering bring a revolutionary influence in humans' health; however looking back to history, chemical and biological weapons were used in war and eventually brought huge sufferings to the people involved in the war. In short, through studying the history of technological development, we can realize that technology is two-edged sword and it is very important that how we utilize it properly to serve the world.

In sum, studying the history, whether it is relevant to our daily lives or not, is valuable. When the history is relevant to our daily lives, through studying it, we can gain inspiration and some principles which is important for us; when studying the history irrelevant to our daily lives, we can know better that how to follow a correct road of societal development in areas of both economic growth and technological development.

上两段所提及的例子貌似与主题“history relevant to daily life”无关，不够典型，更像是英雄事迹。

是否environmental protection及industrial revolution与daily life无关呢?经历了industrial revolution后人类生活水平得到改善。

In area of technological development, studying the history plays a significant role in making us understand the function of technology profoundly. In ancient times, people wrongly assumed that technology had no demerits; however, through studying the history of technological development. We realize that technology is a two-edged sword.

此段提到结论technology是把双刃剑，作为study of history的achievements之一无可厚非。但作为value提出的话，个人认为有点牵强。况且technology性质不好界定，好像也属于relevant to daily life的吧。

In sum, studying the history, whether it is relevant to our daily lives or not, is valuable. When the history is relevant to our daily lives, through studying it, we can gain inspiration and some principles which is important for us; when studying the history irrelevant to our daily lives, we can know better that how to follow a correct road of societal development in areas of both economic growth and technological development.

这篇文章确实很难，难就难在daily life的定义，我觉得和当代人的生活息息相关,不可缺少的，就是history relevant to life (technology, medical care, politics, environmental)。其他的则irrelevant (music, literature…)。后来网上看到有其他定义，即irrelevant的study是指作为个人兴趣的study,仅供参考。总的来说，觉得snail对题目的关键词缺少一个界定，导致后来越看越不懂。你文章中例子不少，但像是对所有研究value的罗列，缺少逻辑或分层，Technology那段更是可有可无。再改改吧。
对了，上次作文你的改写的还没看到。
