  1. Learning from the past
    I disagree wholeheartedly that learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. In fact, the definition of learning includes the idea of an accumulation of experiences from the past. Learning can only take place if we make an association between things that have happened in the past or between something in the past and something that we predict will happen in the future. All knowledge that we acquire as we grow is from the past—language, customs, academic subjects, and so on. While it may be helpful sometimes to be able to overlook previous knowledge in order to avoid the constraint conformity, the vast majority of knowledge that we learn is a huge boost—imagine if each of us had to discover by ourselves that 2 + 2 = 4! So, in a very real sense, all learning depends on past events.
    We are only able to live in this world with our current standard of living because we have learned from the past. We receive knowledge from the past and we are able to use it and improve it. We examine our actions in the past and we make judgments about what was right and what was wrong. Then, it is hoped, we will attempt to avoid those same mistakes again. For example, one of the great mistakes all over the world has been depriving women and the disempowered class’s status in society and many industrialized and developing countries all over the world are attempting to avoid such mistakes both in the present and in the future.
    Furthermore, all of the knowledge that we have today is a result of all the work of our predecessors. The ancient Greeks developed geometry, which helped other European scientists analyze the solar system, which in turn gave us a new understanding of our place in the universe. The great majority of technology today depends directly on several thousands of years of work of past thinkers. To ignore the knowledge of the past would be to throw away five thousand years of history and experience.
    There is, however, some seemingly small, but important value to ignoring the past. It is often the case that history or tradition has the effect of constraining our thought in the present and many important philosophical and scientific breakthroughs have only been possible as a direct result of ignoring the past. The past, in a sense, can blind us to the truth, we can become bound by tradition. For example, at one time, leading thinkers in Europe thought that the Earth was at the centre of the universe and those who disagreed were persecuted as heretics, even Copernicus, who we now know was correct about his heliocentric model of the Solar System. However, scientists were eventually able to break from the past and accept the new model of the universe.
    In short, learning from and analyzing the past has enormous value for us and life as we know it on Earth today would not be possible without the benefit of thousands of years of history and accumulated knowledge. It is important, however, to ignore the past so that we can make a step forward, and such free thinking should be encouraged, although not at the expense of past knowledge. Learning from the past is something like learning from our parents—in most cases, their past helps us have a better future, but there are times when we need to make a break from the past and make a bold step into an unknown future.

    Assignment : Learning about the past has no
    value for those of us living
    in the present.

    I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy. I encourage you to take a look at your own life. What has the past taught you? What mistakes were turning points in your life? Finally, what lessons do you think you still have to learn?

    Our pasts, if we let them, can follow us forever and have either a positive or negative effect on our present moment reality. The truth is the past is only a memory that has been stored within our subconscious mind. Even though the past is over and done with, the experiences we have gone through have deeply affected every aspect of our lives for better or worse. Our past experiences have shaped our personalities, our relationships, and even how we handle our lives in the present.

    The most important thing for us to realize is that the past has no control over our lives, except the control we allow it to have. Once we become aware of this fact and take full responsibility for our own lives we become the true creators of our own future. The past may have made you who you are today, but it’s up to you whether you stay that way or not. If you want to transform your body or your life just know that you have the full capacity to do so. The past is just a trail you leave behind, it’s like the wake of a boat, or your foot prints in the sand. It’s not who you are, it’s only who you were and where you have been.

    Nothing more and nothing less. In any given moment we can choose to learn from our past and decide to let it go. If we don’t let the past go then it can become a huge burden to our present lives. If we allow this to happen, then we let our past determine our future as well. The past is but a memory and the future is but a dream. The present moment is our only true point of power. It’s vitally important to remember the illusory nature of time. The past and future can seem so very real, but our lives are really just a series of present moments, one after the next. Thus, the key to transforming your body is to harness the power of each moment as it is happening.

    As the spiritual teachers remind us, be here now. It may seem like common sense or even overly simplistic advice, but it is a very powerful truth that many of us do not practice at all. In fact, many of us are trying to escape the present moment. We want to get to the future where our lives will be all that we’ve imagined and all of our dreams will have come true. Yet this future never comes, because when the future does come it does so as the present moment. In order to create the future we desire we must harness the power of now, the only true moment there is. To squander this moment is to throw away our future.

    Hope this makes sense to you. Learn from your past experiences and then let them go. Fully embrace the present moment, for it is what you do today that determines your tomorrow. So, study the past, if you would divine the future.

  3. Question 9
    Students in every part of the world pass some courses in history when they are in high school. Some of the students like such courses and some don't. The people who don't like to study history always argue that it is the story of the past and doesn't add any value for their present and future life. On the contrary, I think they are wrong. I believe that studying and learning about past will help us in future decisions in our life.

    First of all, consider the example of different wars in the history, which has happened
    between different countries. What were the main reasons for first and second world war?
    How did it end? Now if we compare the advantage and disadvantage of such wars we will see that some thing was very common. Some one who had been in power becomes so proud of his power that suddenly acts like a blind and doesn't see other facts around him.

    This has resulted several disasters in our history. People can learn to be open and negotiable when they know that 90% of the wars ended in loss for either side of the countries fighting.

    The next benefit, which we can gain through studying the past, is about the life of successful people. It doesn't matter how you define success, whether you define it with money or knowledge, they both converge on some unique characteristics which we can learn only by studying the past wealthy or scientists lives. We can find out about the factors, which most influenced their success and find some common factors between them. This is good resource for us in deciding for future actions in our life.

    In conclusion, I believe there is lots of value in studying the past. It helps us better align our strategies toward success. It also helps us to learn about the mistakes of other people and teaches us not to repeat them. People who think there is no value in learning about history and the past are blind to the above-mentioned facts.Furthermore, i think past is the most memorable lesson that will enable us to built our new inspirations and life.

  4. Experience is something that we use in situations in which we do not know exactly what to do. When we have experience we usually do not repeat the same mistakes. Experience is one of the essential tools we have to carry during our existence. So whatever decision we want to make firstly we have to look back and see what we learned in the past. This is called experience. Experience is gained from the past. The past makes a huge importance for us living in the present.

    However, in the world today there are many people who do not care about the past. In many places of people are losing their traditions and cultures arguing that they are now living in globalized world and they do not need the old habits.

    The young people around the world ignore the advice given by the old people and prefer to do things by themselves. The result is evident many young people involved in drugs, several girls get pregnant in adolescence and a young generation who disrespect completely their parents.

    After many centuries the man has experienced situations such as war, segregation, apartheid, colonialism, holocaust, genocide among others. Ignoring the past correspond to ignore these things. These things have caused a lot of hate, discrimination, racism, disobedience, death of innocent people, slavery, terrorism, conflicts between nations and religions and many other problems that have damaged the human existence.

    Our cultures and traditions are a way in which we can link the present with the past. While we keep our tradition and culture alive our children will know how to deal with their environment. They will also know how important is to respect the elders and the community.

    There are many organizations and other people who are willing to make a better world. But to achieve this goal we have to consider the past. Assuming that we made mistakes in the past we can make things better because we have in what to mirror.

    Today we want to find a better way, in which we can find the solutions to solve the problems we are now facing and at the same time to perspective a promissory future. But what we cannot do is forget the past if we want to accomplish this objective.

  6. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    Can knowledge of the past be beneficial for those of us living in the present? Some people think this information is useless, others believe it’s significant. The former consider it obsolete. Although significant portion of the past knowledge can’t be directly applied to the present day, learning about the past creates opportunities for scientific discoveries, prevents from repeating mistakes of the past, and contributes to the understanding of the purpose of our existence.
    Technological progress is induced by new scientific discoveries that would never occur without knowledge of prior achievements in the certain scientific field. Major innovations occurring in the industry are based on new scientific theories put into practice. Discovery of micro particles - electrons, protons and neutrons- in Physics revealed the possibility of creating the flow of electrons under the influence of the magnetic field. Every production process today is based on this latter discovery of electric current, which wouldn’t be made without past knowledge of electrons existence.

    Besides providing knowledge of fundamental discoveries, past experience helps prevent reoccurrence of negative events in the history of our civilization. School children learn about world wars cited in the history textbooks so that when they grow up they don’t repeat mistakes of their predecessors. One of the brightest examples is atomic bomb dropped on Japan during World War the Second. Knowledge of such negative experiences is necessary for humanity to continue its existence.

    Moreover, learning about the past helps satisfy people’s desire to understand who they are and why they exist. History and Religion are necessary for a discussion of these main philosophical questions. If people haven’t been learning about the past, Bible texts, which give answers to these questions, would never be preserved till the present day. In the same time Bible is the main guide for majority of the world population today.

    Consequently, it’s imperative to learn about the past, because this knowledge is valuable for the development of our civilization. Technological progress, avoidance of past mistakes, and contribution to understanding of the purpose of existence can only be achieved through understanding of our predecessors’ lives and deeds.

  7. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    History teaches us about life. All the past will reflect how we live in the future. It is important to appreciate about the past although now we live in the present. I am totally disagree with the statement which is learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Furthermore, history makes our life become meaningful and it is the beginning of our journey. There is no present without the past and as a human being the past not only changes our life but also our country and the world specifically. It is important to learn from the history to make sure we will not repeat the same mistakes again. All the positives side in the past can be as a reference to build a better life in the future.

    First of all, the past is the beginning of everything. In our life in the present, there are so many technologies have been discovered like television, radio, telephone and washing machine. It has been discovered since a couple of years ago by so many researches and scientists. They faced so many obstacles and failure before they reached the achievement. From them, we can enjoy the technologies and it brightens our life. Achievements from the past create a big phenomenon in these days. It has changed our day and it is so valuable to us.

    Despite on that, there are so many wars that affected our world like First and Second World War. These wars have changed our history. It creates a big impact in our life. From that, we can gain more knowledge and it teaches us to appreciate what we get now. In Malaysia specifically, the day we achieve our National day is the best moment ever for Malaysia’s citizen. Those days, they live in poor and hard situations and they need to face lots of challenges but they still can survive and finally achieved what they should get. From the past, we learn so many valuable things that need to be appreciated and concern. Do not let the history like wars repeat in the present day.

    Furthermore, learning about the past can change our attitude. We can be more matured towards something. We also can learn from the mistakes and make us more confident to face challenges. Memory from the past is the best things and references to be referred for. It has big values to us a human being. It can change our day and it will bring huge impact to us. On study field, we can learn how the intelligent people like Albert Einstein can success in his life although he cannot read. We can be like him if we work harder and confident in our capability.

    To conclude, learning about the past has many values for those of us living in the present. It leads us to be braver to face challenges and build our confident level. Learning from the past is exactly same like learning from our parents. This helps us to build a better future and at the same time we can manage our life and can avoid the mistakes. For those who did not learn any value from the past, they may not realize what they achieve now is the result of the people from the past.

    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific example to support your answer.


    All people in the world has a past story that their can memories until now. The history also can categorise as a good and bad past history among them as individually. Besides that, learning the history actually is very valuable for us because from the past we attempt to improve our weakness as well.

    The history is a good motivation that connects very closely with us, where the situation already happen to ourselves and we a facing that experience as really, from that past experience we take it as our learning and try to motivate ourselves to become better, be more alertness with surrounding, more brave to face with anything happen later on and also the past experience teach us always in good metal preparation when facing with any problem that related with us.

    I am disagreeing, with learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present because for my opinion learning from the past is meaningful and valuable for us. For me, that is a best learning for us as to motivated ourselves to become more dedication and be us to more mature living in our life especially when we a facing with a some problem and from the experience that we has we tries to fix that problem as wells.

    Furthermore, with past learning we will recognize our mistake and our weakness because we already through that experience personally. From that, we can improve our weakness as soon as possible and make us to life more meaningfully with actuation from the past lessons. Additionally, people who a appreciate and use their experience as their friend or mirror to help them to improve their self is a clever people because their always motivated their self and always make a positive changes with their self, time to time as to ensure their not doing the mistake twice.

    In conclusion, we must always be the experience as our good friend to through our journey in life as well because it can help us to be more appreciated our life and as indirectly be us more mature to handle and solving the problem with judicious without come any convenience to others.

  10. People learn through their experiences and mistakes that they made from the past. Therefore I am strongly disagree upon learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. People need to have those experiences to be more matured in making decision in the future. Sometimes it is not good to think too much about the past but in the same time we do need to take good values and positive side of it to ensure we will be a better person the next time.

    Learning from the past will bring us into a good value such as the feeling of appreciations. People learn to appreciate more of what they have in the present if they had experienced the feeling of loosing something they love in the past. So, they will learn to appreciate person around them, try to accept them as what they really are, be kind to them and sharing things they love to do together.

    Other than that, experiences will make a person be more responsible. They will be more alert in whatever they need to do because they are now realize that any decision that they made will lead to an effect whether it is positive or negative aspects. They will take the job given to them as their own responsibility to make it work nicely.

    Besides that, more knowledge and logical thinking could be gain from value that we learnt in the past. People will have more knowledge that cannot possibly be learnt via books or researches. Experiences are the best teacher ever in human learning process. Logical thinking can be created where in the present it is easier for the person to make a decision based on their experienced before this.

    Learning from the past also teaches a person to enjoy their life as what they are. It makes a person realize that they must enjoy every seconds of their life because they cannot turn it back to that time. Enjoy every moments, problems, pain, and happiness as once. Without the past you cannot enjoy the future.

    As we can see, even now we are living in the modern world we still need to learn about our history in the ancient time. Many famous people in the past still are remembered until now. This is proving that things in the past not totally need to be forgettable. Moreover, we need to learn about their historical figure and take it as our role model in our modern life.

  12. ESSAY 9

    Human Society is a long period of building and developing. From the time man lived in dank caves to nowadays when he lives in such a modern life with a lot of excellent facilities. The modern life, the excellent facilities was not a present from god. It was made by people of all generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it. Thus, I totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.

    The first reason for this is that learning about the past brings us all the knowledge and information in the past. Without yesterday, there is no today. A society can develop only when its people inherit and understand the achievements of the precursors because the precursors' achievements were the foundation for everything to develop.. For example, before 1964 there was only black-and-white television but until now there are kinds of colour televisions that are slim and innovative such as LCD TV... The black-and-white television made the basis and gave inventors idea to develop the modern TV nowadays. Consequently our knowledge, success today is the result of constant work of our ancestors before.

    Secondly, learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.

    Additionally, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable.


    In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Denying the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

  13. Everyone has a past. I do, you do and so do your characters. Our past, and all the baggage you carry around, shape us into the person we are today. Our past choices, failures and successes, will come into play everytime a decision needs to be made. We take a certain route home from work because the past has shown us the traffic tends to be lighter. We tend to order a particular drink because we had it before and know that we will enjoy it. These are examples that show how important the past is. In my opinion the past is very precious as our ancestors always say; if there no past there will be also no present. With this I would like to list us the reasons to support my opinion.
    The first thing to be considered is the past give us self-experience which cannot be given by money. It demands time and it is very important to each of us as experience can be defining as the best teacher. For example, if someone can explain how to shoot, release a parachute, learning the right breathing technique for playing the oboe, or change a diaper, one’s need to learn from first hand experience to understand the concept. This is why I said the past plays the main role in creating experience to our self to result a success.
    The second point is histories like nation’s experience provide us with moral values. For examples, the story when the Amsterdam successfully taking over Malacca by cheating and also same goes to the story where Francis Light did the same way to get Pulau Pinang. All, of this past history makes people now realize and more careful in taking their actions so that they wont be cheated again.
    Another precious thing that brings the priceless past value to present is like us now is through the world experience such as the history of World War II. This war involved the bombing of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan that results a huge impact in many aspects. One of it is a bout the very painful physical effects that crippled the nation of Japan for many years. According to Young and Edwards (2005), after the bombings, any humans that survived the initial blast were suffering from radiation exposure. With this kind of past history who would say that the past brings no value? In fact, Japan has grown up and develop as one of the successful country nowadays after the bombing due to their past, hard experience.
    The last point to note, learning the new technology is important too, but if we combine with ancestor's wisdom and culture, we probably can come up with some amazing ideas. Our ancestors were living in a simple life; they had faced many difficult situations. Those wisdoms were accumulation of experience from the past. For example, prehistoric human in ages metal produce simple cutting equipment made from metal. In nowadays millennium era people combine this idea and put it in more modern form and of course it was easier to be use.

    In conclusion, due to the experiences and wisdoms, I believed, learning about the past has many advantages for us, so I disagree the statement which says it has no value for those of us who live in the present.

  14. The values of the past things that had happen before.

    In our life there must be have the past things in our memory so that we can move on with our life according our choice. From the past we can know what the things that should we must do or must avoid off. The past things also can teach us to be the better person in the future. I disagree when some people said that learn about the past has no value, it’s not true.
    The person who said that learn about past has no value for those of us living in the present are the person does not have sensitive value in their life. For them live must go on without thinks about the past. Their like to live in the present and don’t want to remember about the past because it mind disturb their emotional.
    When we learn about the past we can know how to handle many things that had been happen in the past and we can correct it in the future. We can upgrade a lot of things and make the change to make sure that our live is good and more worth. We can detect the good things and the bad things from the past and then we can compare it with the things that we involve in.
    The past can also make us to be the person that will be more care full so that we do not repeat the same mistake that we had done before but we can do much better than that. If we just think about the present only we will be not so alert in the things that we do. We just think that we are always right and no one is better than our self.
    It’s not good because it will make we forget to be more care full and be more alert in what we are doing. We will be bad person because all other people must follow what we are saying without thinking any other else.

  15. The past is very important for universities, colleges and schools. If education centres have good reputation, ex-students are in good position and feed back is good then students want to get admission otherwise not. For admission people learn about the institute from their past. Hence I want to say that past shows the direct impact on present in case of education centres.

    In my opinion, for arranged marriages past is very important. Before marriage all family members want to know about the past of the girl and boy. I think this is very important for a happy married life. I have seen many cases, in which people did not know the past of girl or boy and after some time the couple do not want to live together and get separate.

    In many cases, present depends on past. For example, science is past and technology is present. Technology depends on science. Technology is implementation of science. That’s why I am very grateful for invention of science. Technology is not possible without science. For discovery of new technology researcher has to go through science.

    If people want to know about any country then they will have to study about that country. With the help of history, people can say whether it is a rich or a poor country. Learning of past is also very important to learn about the culture of that country.

    Past is also very important because we always learn from the past. It does not matter, whether it is good or bad. Sometimes if we do a mistake and not make a right decision for future then we will be alert and will not make the same mistake again. In my opinion I would like to say that past has direct impact on present. For instance, if students do hard work in their studies then they get good marks, reach to a higher position after study and find a reputed job. On the other hand, those who do not work hard remain in same position and do not have good job.

    Finally, I would like to say people should not be discouraged and disappointed if they do not have bright past. Mostly people say past has gone. But we have present in our hand which we should try to make it better.

  16. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Life is about the ongoing journey of soul. In my own opinion, past is history and history is important because we are the past: we are the sum of all the events such as good, bad, and indifferent that had happened to us. This sum product guides our actions in the present. Thus I totally disagree upon the statement given.

    The only way we can understand who we are and how we got to be that way is by studying the past. Similarly, the only way we can understand others is by studying their past. If we don't understand what made them who they are in terms of how they think and act, we will make all sorts of mistakes in our interactions with them. Think of how you treat people differently based on how you know them. The same is true for countries when it comes to diplomacy.

    In holding onto moments and memories, it's essential not to get bogged down in the idea that they are more valuable than what we are experiencing right now. The only time we really, truly have is now so it's pretty pointless to waste time dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. That being said, I do think it's important to keep some particularly special moments with us, even as we live our lives in the present. There has to be, as with most things, a balance between remembering the wonderful experiences we've had and remembering to enjoy the life we're living right now.

    The past, besides being over, provides insight that we may apply to the present. The future, no offence to your profession, is something we cannot see. Even the greatest guides and forecasts only give insight, they do not dictate events. Therefore, we can only live in the moment, and when in doubt, that is probably the only time that absolutely matters. We may die tomorrow, but if we make the most of the moment we have, however minute that moment is, we may still die happily knowing we did everything we could with our moment in time.

    Our past, our history must never be forgotten because it is important; it has made us who we are. Do not dwell in the past, we must balance the weight we place on the past and on the future, neither obsessing nor ignoring either. Yet the moment we are in provides us the opportunity to reflect upon the past, and put the knowledge that we gain into action to create our future.

  17. Question 9
    Experience is something that we use in situations in which we don’t know exactly what to do. When we have experience we usually do not repeat the same mistakes. Experience is one of the essential tools we have to carry during our existence. So whatever decision we want to make firstly we have to look back and see what we learned in the past. This is called experience. Experience is gained from the past. The past makes a huge importance for us living in the present.

    However, in the world today there’re many people who don’t care about the past. In many places of China, India and Africa people are losing their traditions and cultures arguing that they’re now living in globalized world and they don’t need the old habits. The young people around the world ignore the advice given by the old people and prefer to do things by themselves. The result is evident; many young people involved in drugs, several girls get pregnant in adolescence and a young generation who disrespect completely their parents.

    After many centuries the man has experienced situations such as war, segregation, apartheid, colonialism, holocaust, genocide among others. Ignoring the past correspond to ignore these things. These things have caused a lot of hate, discrimination, racism, disobedience, and death of innocent people, slavery, terrorism, conflicts between nations and religions and many other problems that have damaged the human existence.

    Our cultures and traditions are a way in which we can link the present with the past. While we keep our tradition and culture alive our children will know how to deal with their environment. They’ll also know how important is to respect the elders and the community. There’re many organizations and other people who are willing to make a better world. But to achieve this goal we have to consider the past. Assuming that we made mistakes in the past we can make things better because we have in what to mirror.

    Today we want to find a better way, in which we can find the solutions to solve the problems we are now facing and at the same time to perspective a promissory future. But what we can’t do is forget the past if we want to accomplish this objective.

  18. Someone said that if we use a pistol to shoot the past, the future will use a cannon to shoot us. I am probably sure that history is a very important aspect of society. As far as I am concerned, I strongly believe that we can learn vast of significant lessons from the past, because these lessons will give us the motivation toward to success and teach us how to avoid a lot of mistakes.
    To begin with, each countries have their own histories, and all of them proud of their histories. Through studying about events from the past, we can see clearly about what our ancestors did to build and protect our countries. As a result, historical lessons give us pride about our countries, and they motivate us to contribute to the development of countries. For instance, when I study about my history of my country, I recognize that my country is so great. In the twentieth century, my homeland, a small country, fought with French colonialism and US in order to get independence and freedom, and we won. Nowadays, new generations try to study and work hard to follow our ancestors to develop my country.

    In addition, it is undeniable that learning some lessons from history help us to prevent some errors, which we had done in the past. In this way, historical lessons provide us basic knowledge to make right decisions. For example, people in the world will never forget the terrible damage of nuclear bombs when US used them to fight Japan in 1945. Moreover, this event warns us about the danger of nuclear weapons. Consequently, we need to study carefully about this event to avoid repeating again, and we have to consider about it when we do some things that are related to nuclear powers.
    Learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.

    In conclusion, although some people think that studying about the past has no value, I support the opinion that we should learn about the past, because history makes us to proud of our countries and teaches us to prevent mistakes.

  19. Question 9
    Human Society is a long period of building and developing. From the time man lived in dank caves to nowadays when he lives in such a modern life with a lot of excellent facilities. The modern life, the excellent facilities was not a present from god. It was made by people of all generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it. Thus, I totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.

    The first reason for this is that learning about the past brings us all the knowledge and information in the past. Without yesterday, there is no today. A society can develop only when its people inherit and understand the achievements of the precursors because the precursors' achievements were the foundation for everything to develop.. For example, before 1964 there was only black-and-white television but until now there are kinds of colour televisions that are slim and innovative such as LCD TV... The black-and-white television made the basis and gave inventors idea to develop the modern TV nowadays. Consequently our knowledge, success today is the result of constant work of our ancestors before.

    Besides, learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.

    Furthermore, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable.

    In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. That is the reason why I disagree with this topic “Learning about the past has no value”.

  21. Can knowledge of the past be beneficial for those of us living in the present? Some people think this information is useless, others believe it’s significant. The former consider it obsolete. Although significant portion of the past knowledge can’t be directly applied to the present day, learning about the past creates opportunities for scientific discoveries, prevents from repeating mistakes of the past, and contributes to the understanding of the purpose of our existence.
    Technological progress is induced by new scientific discoveries that would never occur without knowledge of prior achievements in the certain scientific field. Major innovations occurring in the industry are based on new scientific theories put into practice. Discovery of micro particles - electrons, protons and neutrons- in Physics revealed the possibility of creating the flow of electrons under the influence of the magnetic field. Every production process today is based on this latter discovery of electric current, which wouldn’t be made without past knowledge of electrons existence.

    Besides providing knowledge of fundamental discoveries, past experience helps prevent reoccurrence of negative events in the history of our civilization. School children learn about world wars cited in the history textbooks so that when they grow up they don’t repeat mistakes of their predecessors. One of the brightest examples is atomic bomb dropped on Japan during World War the Second. Knowledge of such negative experiences is necessary for humanity to continue its existence.

    After many centuries the man has experienced situations such as war, segregation, apartheid, colonialism, holocaust, genocide among others. Ignoring the past correspond to ignore these things. These things have caused a lot of hate, discrimination, racism, disobedience, death of innocent people, slavery, terrorism, conflicts between nations and religions and many other problems that have damaged the human existence.

    Our cultures and traditions are a way in which we can link the present with the past. While we keep our tradition and culture alive our children will know how to deal with their environment. They’ll also know how important is to respect the elders and the community.

    There’re many organizations and other people who are willing to make a better world. But to achieve this goal we have to consider the past. Assuming that we made mistakes in the past we can make things better because we have in what to mirror.

    Moreover, learning about the past helps satisfy people’s desire to understand who they are and why they exist. History and Religion are necessary for a discussion of these main philosophical questions. If people haven’t been learning about the past, Bible texts, which give answers to these questions, would never be preserved till the present day. In the same time Bible is the main guide for majority of the world population today.

    Consequently, it’s imperative to learn about the past, because this knowledge is valuable for the development of our civilization. Technological progress, avoidance of past mistakes, and contribution to understanding of the purpose of existence can only be achieved through understanding of our predecessors’ lives and deeds.

  22. We learn something from we are children until old, we learn from school, home and other place. Every day is learning for everyone because what will happen to us we will take it as challenge and learn from that. Even people do not have study about anything can be more critical thinking than people who has study because they learn through their life.
    I disagree with the statement learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present because we always do something in one day, anything what we do is learning session for us, example we do not know how to make the raya cookies, we will learn from others whose know how to do it although the simple thing. If we learn it today, why we do not make it every day to improve what we learn, and in future you can teach your children. So, what happen yesterday do not forget it, but must learn from it.
    In the profession of work, we can see people can learn from their experience although they are not has study about that. From experience also is learning for us to make it improve, such as care assistant in the hospital, they do not have study about profession nurse, but they can do like nurse do such as remove cannula, change intravenous drip, and help staff nurse. In first day working, all people not know how to do it, when long time, many learning we learn from others, we can see what is less in yourself and what thing make you proud in yourself for that day, many value can be learn.
    All human being have done a mistake, nobody in this world is perfect. When we do something new for us, of course we will make a mistake, such as do give wrong medication to patient, it important to us to prevent from happen again, if we scolded by management, we must take it as challenge in that day, we must learn from that day and take it as value in your life to improve yourself.
    As the conclusion, we must do learn about the past, not to forget it. From that we can learn something what we do not know and can make it as experience in our life, so in our life every day is learning until we death.

  23. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    From a child to an adult a person was growing up under a complex condition of the society. During the lifetime, lots of the experiences we got and these became the weapon that we use to cope with the difficulties we meet in the current society. I do not agree the statement that learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. On the contrary, we must remember all the historical events that happened wheatear the events are good or not. So I strongly believe that learning about the past could help one person living in the present, it brings lots of benefits.
    The reason why we are studying history is that from obvious the past time, we learned what we should do and what we'd better not to do in the present. Besides that, with past learning we will recognize our mistake because we already know through that experience personally. For the examples, if we had some mistake from our past history, we also take lessons from our mistake and must improve our self to be a good person. Additionally, the people will respect to us. People can change. People may have hated each other for years, but that doesn’t mean they will continue to hate each other. So that’s not mean that people cannot improve our self to be a good person. Learns from mistake can make us become mature thinking and can separated which one good or bad things.
    On the other hands, the technologies from the past are very important and very useful in modern times. For the examples, telephone, car, radio and so on. This is also the value for those of us living from the history. From those who created the technologies from the past, nowadays, we can use and enjoy that technologies every times.
    In conclusion, learning about the past has more values for those of us living in the present. It also helps us to learn about the mistakes of other people and teaches us not to repeat them. So I totally disagree that statement learning about the past has no value for us.

  24. Learning is when we learn by gaining knowledge in our daily living. Learning is gained either from theory or from what we had been through experiences which is our past. I disagree with the statement says that learning the past has no value because without the past we will never learn and be who we are today. As with the past we are able to reflect back ourselves and this is to improve ourselves. Without the past there will be no future.
    Learning from the past is a good teacher for us in the present. As the past teach us to be a better person and to move on with our life. When we had done a big mistake and we regret it, therefore we will remember even it is the smallest mistake we had done in our past. We will feel really guilty because of our failure or because we had accidently hurt people surrounding us and we intent to correct it, therefore learning takes places. Everyone learnt in a different ways either learning the easy way or hard way.
    Moreover, learning from the past we learn about our ancestor’s history and we will pass it down to our generation. We will learnt about past named people whom are known well as they brings solution to human being such as Albert Einstein is a genius, He as one of the most influential and best known scientists and intellectuals of all time. Other than that, we are able to know regarding the creation which is used until now. Definitely, we will know the origin of each human creation which has brought benefits to human being until know. As we know, the presence of modern technology which is upgrading each time. It had help human being to live with comfort. Without the past there will no present and there is no future.
    In conclusion, I do think we can learn so valuable lessons from the past as it includes the process us which have passed to reach our goals and the advantageous or disadvantageous experiences that we had made in our lives. Therefore, our past is very important in our life as because of the experience, virtues and wisdoms, learning from the past has gives us many benefit in the present.

  25. QUESTION 9
    Learning is a one process that we can learn from the experience people about the something important such as nationalism, patriotic or other else regarding the past year. Beside that, we need an experience especially during the past history of the certain country to prestige the spirit of loving our country among us. With that scenario, we also can receive many knowledge about the past history and it can be meaningful if the scenario of the history can bring up the name of our country.
    I not agree with this statement that learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. For example, we can see the father of nationalism for our country is Tunku Abdul Rahman. He is a very brave person and he has the strong spirit in build up our country. Beside that, he has a good behaviour and attitude and with this character many people like to be a friend. Furthermore, with that scenario we had learnt something interesting about his contribution in our country that is found especially in history books either in primary or secondary school. Other than that, we can found in any research either in magazine or internet website about the all history in our country before the national day.
    Moreover, learning from the past is good to make person do not misuse the particular of certain important thing that we must learn from ourselves. For example, we all know that our national day was celebrated on 31th August every year. Before we gets the national day, the person such as Tunku Abdul Rahman are many contribution to catch up our country from other west communist. On the other hand, his contribution for our country is very big and we must appreciate for he in many scenario that can we see now our country are free from other communist.
    In addition, past history can gain our knowledge about certain topic and scenario that we can just gets from reading the journal either in live or not. For example, our patriotic people are essential to our country because they have a lot of sacrifice to free from the communist that always threaten the people and peaceful of our country.
    Hence, we not suppose to say that the learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. It is because we suppose thinks that we can gain our knowledge about the history of our country or international for the future. In that scenario, we also can receive any feedback from the oldest people who are very familiar with that situation. Furthermore, they will share some an experience during the scenario was happening in that time.

  26. QUESTION: Learning about the past has no value for those of living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    ANSWER:
    Skills are becoming increasingly important in a knowledge-based economy with technology and resources becoming more. The skills and abilities are vital to achieve a comparative advantage while competing in a highly competitive environment. Training practicing is one way of improving the efficiency and productivity of firms and realizing their full potential. Innovation, competitiveness, workplace change and flexibility, customer orientation and quality initiatives are identified as drivers of training and learning culture fuelled by globalization. In order to sufficiently train managers, companies need to individualize training, give managers more control over their learning process and provide ongoing, on the job support. This because that the past learning is important and have more value for future.
    Establishing a critic opinion within history isn’t free, it is the empiric that supports our criteria, by these I mean that having no knowledge of past reduces us in the simplest forms of every mankind specie before the Homo-sapiens, Where is evolution if every generation starts from the very first? It is an undeniable truth that even if in present we keep on messing a lot of stuff, the incidence crisis of having no evolution at all wouldn’t bring progress, comfort ability, and our actual situation.
    When I think back on my learning experiences from elementary school through College, I can see my learning style. One of my earliest memories that I can now relate to learning styles was from second grade. My second grade teacher had assigned each of us a book and instructed us to write a book report for homework that evening. My book was about the Indians tribes hunting buffalo. The book would probably not been my first choice in reading material, as I was not very interested in Indians or buffalo, but most discouraging was the lack of illustrated pages. I struggled to understand the meaning of the hunt. I was tortured by the violence describing the kill. Teachers today need to capture student’s attention by becoming a student themselves and by regulating their authoritative positions to a more friend/friend relationship with their students. Not to say that teachers should not play a commanding role in their classrooms, but they should allow their students to learn own and/or with their own convictions also.
    Knowledge, the ability to learn, to change and to innovate in this new market place, will be accepted as the more relevant criteria for selecting managers than gender, ethnicity or even prior experience.

  27. I do believe that learning from the past bring a lot of the benefit to the future. The moment that already past we call it as experience. As the older saying,` experience is the best teacher’ that means experience is the best guidance for us to be better in future by learn from the mistakes that we have done at the past time. Without the history there is no today. The history helps teach us many things that can improve ourselves and learn from the mistake. The study from the past make the people think more critical and bring the innovation from the research found at the past.
    The learning of the history is the effective way of motivation. The learning from the past also bring the innovation to the civilization. As a example, the Second World War was make the people realise that the abusing of the power was give the impact to the development of the country. The war happened are only brings the suffered to the innocent society. The people should study, how the war is occurred? What the main factor of the war? And from the learning that, the people will know the bad impact of the war is not only to the country but also to the world.
    I’m totally disagree with the statement that learn from the pas did not bring anything to our present life. This is because the facilities that make our life now comfortable end better than previously. The research and study that has been done from the people before they found the technology such as television, telephone and computer helps people nowadays learn from the mistake and understand about the technology research. The learning from the past also helps our present life to do improvement and the innovation regarding the research.
    In conclusion, the learning from the past brings a lot of the benefit to our life nowadays. The advantages bring a lot of changes and make the people life more comfortable. The history is the best way of motivation to the civilization. The people should learn more about the history in order to get improvement of the life.

    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. I am disagree with that statement because learning from the past will make our self better and we did not do the same mistake that we do in the past. As we know, we already learn since children. So to be a better person we must learn then we can perform better. We can hear about learn from mistake will make a better result in the future. So learn from the past can make our self better in the future.
    Everyday we learn a new things whether it’s good or not. If we do a mistake, we can do better after that. For an example, in the Hari Raya, we did not know how to make a ketupat. So if we learn and learn, we can do better from year to year. Actually, it is very tough to make the ketupat so if we learn from the past; we can do better in the future although it’s actually a simple work. Learn from past also will make us better to teach our future our children so that they will not repeat the same mistake that we do in the past. So we did not forget what had we learn today so that we can do better in the future.
    In our profession as nurses in the future, we need to learn from the mistake to make our self better in the future. For an example, we can do wrong step when doing at the procedure at the skill lab so that after we attend the real patient, we can do better steps. Care assistant also is one of profession that needs to practice and learn from the past. For an example, as a care assistant, they did not have to get a certificated to be a care assistant. So they need to learn from the past to get better in the future.
    As the conclusion, we need to learn from the past so that we able to perform in better ways in the future. We need to refresh our mind so that we did not do a same mistake in the future.

  29. By the time changes, human has facing variety of evolution. Without the evolution, the human cannot move forward. The human’s evolution have evidence that human are continue learning in terms of accumulate the experience from the past or mistake to make the life easiest and to achieve the maximum level of Maslow’s hierarchy. So, I was strongly disagree with the statement because deny of the past only will bring down a generation.
    First of all, learning from the past will bring more benefit than harm. It is because we can gain more knowledge and information when we slowly growth up. You cannot image that a child born with knowledge. They must go through an education system by build up their foundation, hence, to explore by them self from the mistake. On other hand, the advanced of the technology are not ready made. It also needs scientist or technician to invent and in the process of inventing will also exist of failure. So, the failure of today is to fulfil the achievement of tomorrow.
    Secondly, with learning from the past, the people will take precaution earlier to prevent step on the wrong way. As the reason, the people will use the existing knowledge or theory as an example to carry out the experience and create or form a new theory or formula. For example, the technician create the new model of hand phone by add in new program or device that more advance than before such as WIFI, 3G and camera pixel which allow people to communicate wherever in local or overseas. Knowledge or information is not only a history but also useful in explore the future.
    Furthermore, the effect that we are not learning from the past can be very serious. It is because our religion practice or culture may be vanishing. From the century start, people are practice or carry out a lot of religion activities such as fete, harvest day and pray. People have another type of spirit or moral support by believe in god which can help people to facing the problem in a positive way. The human nowadays also have practice with these activity is because we have not forget the past but appreciate the present.
    To sum up, I think learning from the past is even more important than experience because we will less step in wrong way with the mistake of ancestor.

I think that learning about the past is very important because we don’t have any experience when we face a new thing. Although some people think it has no value for us, I believe that when we will do something new, it can help us to know and carry out them easily.
    Opponents believe that learning about the past is not useful for us. If we have already known some information about what will happen later, you will not concentrate on your work. Also you will take it easy and not pay attention to do your job. Finally, they think that before we do anything, we should have curious about everything and full of desire. Because of curiousness and desire, they are the driving force of knowledge.

    On contrary, I disagree that learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. I think there have some values and advantages for us. First of all, experience is very important in our life. For example, when you want to look for a birthday present for someone who you just met, but you don’t know what he like or interested, you will be very annoyed. Meanwhile, if you can ask his friends’ help, it can save your time and easy to find an appropriate gift. Because his friends know him more than you, they can offer their ideas then you can make a decision. Additionally, if you learn about the past, you will not make a same mistake which people ever told you. You can handle them and do the best.
    Another important aspect of the fact that our past is essential is that past makes us doubt. Take for example the fact that a few centuries ago people were sure that the Earth was flat. Next generations with their new experience proved that the Earth was round. I believe that it happened not because scientists did not know about previous achievements in this area but because their new observations made them doubt about the well-known fact and they developed the new theory.
    In addition, if follows the statement that our past has no values for us then we should not take experience and any advices from our parents. Imagine that we learn by ourselves how to speak, walk, driving car, cook, and read.
    In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Forget the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

  31. Learning About The Past Has No Value For Those Of Us Living In The Present

    Human society is a long period of building and developing. From the time man lived in dank caves to nowadays when he lives in such a modern life with a lot of excellent facilities. The modern life, the excellent facilities was not a present from god. It was made by people of all generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it. Thus, I totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.

    The first reason for this is that learning about the past brings us all the knowledge and information in the past. This is because without yesterday, there is no today. A society can develop only when its people inherit and understand the achievements of the precursors because the precursors' achievements were the foundation for everything to develop. For example, before 1964 there was only black-and-white television but until now there are kinds of colour televisions that are slim and innovative such as LCD TV. The black-and-white television made the basis and gave inventors idea to develop the modern TV nowadays. Consequently our knowledge and success today is the result of constant work of our ancestors before.

    Secondly, learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.

    Additionally, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable. We study history, not only for an academic study, more for understanding present we are living in now and preparing future we will meet. Without learning about history, there are no present and future.

    To sum up, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Denying the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

  32. Learning about the past has no value for those us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    I am disagree the statement of learning about the past has no value for those us living in the present. The past is gave us experience to learn about the life. Experience is best teacher to improve one skill. It will be form reflection guidance for present. Past always be special in our life for remind us don’t do the wrong things again.
    Firstly, we always learn something from past. An example, the children always like to play the dangerous things such as, fire and sharp things. If there got injury or shoot because of that things, there were be alert and didn’t do the same mistake again. Even though there become adult there still be afraid to do the thing.
    The past is very valuable things in our life. From the past we will learn the skill or techniques of a work. An example, when I am at first semester in diploma of nursing, I was do a lot of mistakes when doing procedures. Sometimes the staff nurses also scold us. But from the mistakes I learn and still remember the steps of procedures. Such as, taking vital sigh and blood pressure.
    If we are regret about some body, their past memories are making us not miss them. An example, when the husband is at overseas cause of work, at that time the husband’s memories are help the wife avoiding to miss her husband. Other than, if we miss our best friend who were always help us when we are sad or over coming problems. Suddenly the friend is no more with us but their memories are help us to forget the regret feelings.
    Finally, the past things are always make us increase our talent and make professional when doing work. More other than, past make our life more challenges and to know how to mqake our life easier and more comfort. The past are not only be sweet in our memories and we got some bad past memories, but it make us be perfect in our life.

  33. QUESTION 9.

    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Experience is something that we use in situations in which we don’t know exactly what to do. When we have experience we usually do not repeat the same mistakes. Experience is one of the essential tools we have to carry during our existence. So whatever decision we want to make firstly we have to look back and see what we learned in the past. This is called experience. Experience is gained from the past. The past makes a huge importance for us living in the present.I’m,disagree when the past no has value for those of living in the present.
    Our cultures and traditions are a way in which we can link the present with the past. While we keep our tradition and culture alive our children will know how to deal with their environment. They’ll also know how important is to respect the elders and the community.Another than that, storied about the foods traditional, nowdays, many young new generation, don’t know about the traditional foods, so that as a parents should expose about the trh past.Storied about the past are important to gain the knowleadge.
    Beside that, , which we can gain through studying the past, is about the life of successful people. It doesn't matter how you define success, whether you define it with money or knowledge, they both converge on some unique characteristics which we can learn only by studying the past wealthy or scientists lives. We can find out about the factors, which most influenced their success and find some common factors between them. This is good resource for us in deciding for future actions in our life.
    Beside that,learning the past can improve our weakness,for examples, failed in the examination,so that ,we can laerned more hard and more hardwork to succesfull in the examination.Many people learned from the past,gain the past valur is important.
    In conclusion,the past has a lot of value especially the new generation.Experience from the past we can improve our weakness.Other that, we can learned from our parents, families, friends.So that, learned can get a lot of knowleadge and gain experiences also.

    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree with this statement ? For me, I strongly disagree. This is because learning from the past will gives us experiences how to live our life. Rather than that from the experiences learned we can avoid from unnecessary incident from happened again. Learning give a lot of advantages for our life. Not only can improve our behaviours but also can change our lifestyle day by day.
    Learning is very significant things that we must have in our daily life. It also can improve one skills. I give a simple examples. We can overlooked at students that have experienced with resit in papaer exam. They must feel very sad, disappointed and so many bad feeling will gained deeply in their heart. But they all can take that as a good learning. They will improve it with be more serious in their studies and not play around in the class. Just because of the experiences resit in their exam paper, they will change because they don’t want it happened two times in their life.
    Did you think that experiences also can be the vest teachers? I think so. It is because from experienced we learned the good and bad from what has happened in the past whether it is good for us or bad. Experienced also teach how to avoid from unnecessary event from happening again. For example like traffic accident, loaning from loan shark and making bad decisions.
    Learning from the past is also a form of reflection for ourself.Why I said like that? We take a simple example. When we have bad result in our examination,what we think? That we failed because we don’t read a book or it influences by a friends? We can think it because it happened in ourself.Because of that we can know what is our mistake and of course we can improve it. That is the meaning when what I said learning from the past is also a form of reflection for our self.
    As a conclusion, I disagree with the point of statement “ Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in their present” because from the past we have learned everythings that we been through from the first decision in our life until the current incident that happened on us. Furthermore, learning from the past is the best way for us to gained experienced to making our life by taking a better solution to put our life in the best path.

    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    As a human being, we are tending to do mistake in our life, most of them who are achieved successful in their life. Personally, I support that learning about the past have more value for those of living in present.

    To be somebody, we are learning from the early age. Such as in Malaysia, we have tadika, taska, primary and secondary school, which is level of learning process before we proceed for diploma and degree for high education. We have to teach people from the early before they go for the challenges part in their life. One of the purpose is, to give them chances to have an experience for facing whatever problem in the future.

    Learning about the past is good to improve in term of life aspect. From the experience we can protect ourselves from trickery of the others. From that we can be carefully and have not to believe all people in easily. On my past experience, after SPM, I have worked in a hospital as a care assistant before i enter the College for continues studies in diploma in nursing. By that time, I have a car. But after I studies, I got difficulty to pay the monthly payment. My father has offer himself to pay it for me, but I felt that i won’t to giving difficulty to my father. In the same time, have somebody who staff of the college have a transport problem. She know that i have a car .then, she pretend to have a car, and she will pay the monthly payment and take care of car until i have finish my studies. But i had lied from her after two month. She not honest to me, while i very believe of her because she looks nice in the early. In my mind, she cannot lie me because we can meet each other every day. The bank called me, asked about the payment but, the women have talked to me that she has paid. From that, my life was become trouble. My father is very angry to me. Now, i very careful in any relationship. I wont the past will be repeating in my life.

    From that, i was concluding that, the past thing is very useful as guidance in our present life. The past is brought more value to people who appreciate their past memory.

  36. Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes, from the times when he depicted a herd of mammoth on a wall of a cave to nowadays when he drives a car, watches TV and surfs an Internet. I believe that all achievements that were made by humankind are possible only because people always learnt from their past. In fact, the definition of learning includes the idea of accumulation of experiences from the past with present knowledge. So, I must totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.

    The first reason for this is that human evolution was possible only because people accumulated their experience and knowledge of ancestors and it helped them to make a step forward. Second of all, they analyzed their mistakes and tried to avoid them next time. People tried to improve their life by learning from the past. Just imagine that everyone would have to discover by himself that 2 + 2 = 4 or that fire can be harmful. Furthermore, all knowledge that we have now is a result of the constant work of our ancestors.

    Another important aspect of the fact that our past is essential is that past makes us doubt. Take for example the fact that a few centuries ago people were sure that the Earth was flat. Next generations with their new experience proved that the Earth was round. I believe that it happened not because scientists did not know about previous achievements in this area but because their new observations made them doubt about the well-known fact and they developed the new theory.

    In addition, if follow the statement that our past has no value for us then we should not take experience and any advices from our parents. Imagine, that we learn by ourselves how to speak, walk, drive car, cook, read, etc.

    To summarize, I think that learning from the past is even more important than our own experience. One cannot move forward if he does not realize why and where he is now.

  37. Question 9
    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Some people hold the idea that this learning is totally worthless because they think that it is better to let the past "rest in peace". However, in my opinion, learning about the past is necessary for the following reasons it can shorten the time we spend to get knowledge it helps us to avoid the mistakes in our lives, and it inspire us in our daily lives. I agree on this statement.

    Learning about the past can help us to shorten the time for getting knowledge. The human knowledge was accumulated through many generations. Each generation inherits the knowledge from precedents, decants, improves it by getting knowledge from ancestors, a teenager now can have the knowledge equivalent to a savant in the past If people always oppose the knowledge of ancestors, humanity cannot have such improved society.

    However, learning about the past can helps us to avoid the mistakes in our lives. In the past, there are so many experience that can learnt from now on. learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.

    Other than that, past can also inspire us in our nowadays lives. If learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone.
    From the above discussed reason, I strongly affirm that treasuring the value of past is a must with us since it can inspire us in daily lives, shorten our getting knowledge time and help us to avoid the mistakes.

  38. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples.

    The past is very important for universities, colleges and schools. If education centres have good reputation, ex-students are in good position and feed back is good then students want to get admission otherwise not. For admission people learn about the institute from their past. Hence I want to say that past shows the direct impact on present in case of education centres
    In many cases, present depends on past. For example, science is past and technology is present. Technology depends on science. Technology is implementation of science. That’s why I am very grateful for invention of science. Technology is not possible without science. For discovery of new technology researcher has to go through science.

    Past is also very important because we always learn from the past. It does not matter, whether it is good or bad. Sometimes if we do a mistake and not make a right decision for future then we will be alert and will not make the same mistake again. In my opinion I would like to say that past has direct impact on present. For instance, if students do hard work in their studies then they get good marks, reach to a higher position after study and find a good job. On the other hand, those who do not work hard remain in same position and do not have good job.

    To begin with, each countries have their own histories, and all of them proud of their histories. Through studying about events from the past, we can see clearly about what our ancestors did to build and protect our countries. As a result, historical lessons give us pride about our countries, and they motivate us to contribute to the development of countries.
    Finally, I would like to say people should not be discouraged and disappointed if they do not have bright past. Mostly people say past has gone. But we have present in our hand which we should try to make it better.

  39. In our life, all of us may have our own problems in term of many things such as family problems, working problems or problems in studying. Some of us may need the advice or opinion given from others and use it as a guide line. That is why I think that even thought for those who living in the present, learning about the past sometimes may be use as our examples and help us in our life.
    Why I have said it because experience for me is the best teachers. For examples, if we has experience about something like we are not pass in our exam, for the next exam, we may work hard to make sure that the past experience does not happen again. From that, we will improve our self by study hard and give full attention in the class.
    Other reasons that make me sure that learning about the past is value to us is learning about the past brings us all the knowledge and information in the past. Without yesterday, there is no today. Our society also develops from the beginning. It is just like our life now we may not watch the television with the colour if no one can think about it. The black and white television made the basis and gave inventors idea to develop the modern TV nowadays. Consequently our knowledge, success today is the result of constant work of our ancestors before.
    Past is also very important because we always learn from the past. It does not matter, whether it is good or bad. Sometimes if we do a mistake and not make a right decision for future then we will be alert and will not make the same mistake again.
    Other thing that we learn from past is about moral value. From over the past we will see the elders will respect others people, help each other’s and also love the poor’s. From that, we will learn the same thing and doing all that stuff in our life now.
    Finally for me, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Mostly people say past has gone. But we have present in our hand which we should try to make it better.

  40. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


    Everybody have their own life phase. The wonderful thing make the person keep in the sweet memories of their life. Whatever happened at the past, we are still to memorizing the thing and the try to put on ours life now. Actually, we can get the positive or negative impacts from what we are facing for the past to continue our life. Furthermore, it helps us to avoid the mistakes in our lives by the experience and our knowledge before. Learning about the past can help us to shorten the time for getting knowledge. For this topic, I would like to discuss about the positive that we can get from that.

    First of all, have a proverb said that the experiences in life are the best teacher to make us for more better in the present. All the people have on their own experience. What we are done today, it’s be influence our future. For the example, every student must them for seat a paper at the examination hall. Then the result will comes out together with excellent and bad result. For the students who get a bad result, they are not stupid actually but lack of the technique. For the next examination, they are more lucky because can understand and answer properly of the examination paper according the instruction. So this is proof for the experience is a best teacher and it is value to us in the present.

    Moreover, the learning about the past also improved our skill at the future. Since birth we are learn more in our life. Nobody can give the skill except we are facing on own. The skill can develop better when we are doing the things for the many times. The skills also influence us to much better in the future. For the example, the sport team need do the many times of practices to get the excellent stage in their tournament. The skills that we have can guide our self to present very well and it’s also the value that we are have.

    In the other hand, the improvement in the lifestyle is the value in the present. Let to imagine if we are still in the past environment which is lack of the technology and information source. The successful in our country is influence us to get a beautiful life. For the previous time, everything is so difficult and now we are must to learn how to appreciate what we are have today. For the new generation, it’s advantage to know the history of the world.

    In sum up, the learning about something in the past can bring us some value and success will not come without failure. We are still in our own objective and for this, learning from the past is very important for those of us living in the present.

  41. Question 9

    It is a say, “The world is ever changing”. Everything has their past, present and future. If person just lives with the gorgeous past but forget their present, they will destroy themselves someday in the future. However, should we live in modern world without any idea about the past? If we do so, our future, in my opinion, will be a cluster of faults. By learning from history, and my own experience I realize that people cannot live without the past.

    First of all, there are some proverbs said, the bad experiences are the best teacher that can bring us to live better in the present or future. As there are several views from the people, whether important or not for us keep memorizing the things that had happened in the past and then try to put on ours life now. For instance, when the first time we learned how to drive a car, probably we might have gotten accident because of lack of experiences, but by the time we had already used to it, we will able to drive with easily and pretty sure we know how to handle the car even though the road is treacherous.

    In addition, learning about the past can make us more efficient either in time or money. Moreover, we can give a good impact to other people too. In general, the child will always follow in their parent’s behaviour during the process of maturity. However, there are also some adverse results that we can get if we still stick with something in the past. People who had ever committed with alcohols or drugs, they should try to forget it. Otherwise, they will never move on.

    I really agree that learning about something in the past can bring us some value; success will not come without failure, especially old history, which can make our next generation become appreciate about their ancestors and interest to know the history of the world.

    In conclusion, I strongly agree that by learning from history is a must bringing along with since it will change or modified in daily lives, and also helps to avoid from repeating the same mistakes again.

  42. Learning about past has no value those of us living in the present?

    We study history. However, people think history is a musty study and future and present are more important than past. They consider that history is not relevant to present or future. I don’t agree this assertion. Strictly speaking, there is no present. This moment we are talking now already became past. Moreover, we don’t even know what will happen in the future. We only anticipate them.

    In this sense, past is very important for both present and future. First, past help us understand our present. We can understand well about what we are doing this, how come we started that, or what we are supposed to do for those things by learning past. People who are living in the present have never experienced past. It might be very hard for them to understand present. For example, there is someone who works for North and South Korea’s unification. If he doesn’t know enough about what happened between them in the past, he can never find proper solutions. Therefore, learning past is very important for living in today.

    Second, furthermore, past is a key to solve problems which will come up in the future. History is repeated. We may meet an event which has happened before. If we learned from past, we can deal with that event properly and prevent making mistake. History provides us with the way we have to go forward.

    We study history, not only for an academic study, more for understanding present we are living in now and preparing future we will meet. Without learning about history, there are no present and future. Additionally, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable.

    In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Denying the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

  43. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. From my opinion, I disagree with this statement. Did you heard about experience is the best teachers? From the positive aspect, learning about the past is the precious things that I can say for those of us living in the present. It is because from the past we will learn how to appreciate the present. We can also called that an experience. Experience is the knowledge or skill that you have gained through doing something for a period time or the process of gaining the learning process.
    The best example that I can share about the learning past is about my experience at the secondary school on 2007. I was sit for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). As we know, most of the teenagers like to have fun and enjoy their life. They think that SPM is not important for their life so that they will keep on playing around even though they know that it is very difficult examination. As a student, we must have a goal to be success in our life. We must achieve our parents hope in our goal. If we have the spirit to get the flying colour result in SPM, we must work hard and ensure that our mission and vision to success is achieved. From my experience, I was very sad because my result is not so good. It was my mistake that I must realize. I was not concentrating and focus in the study. So, as a human we must learn from the past because the past is the best learner for us.
    From my positive aspect, as a parent we must give an advice for our children to continue their learning. Children are like a sponge that will absorb all the knowledge that their parent give to them. We must show the best example for them to learn about the past so that the children will not do the same mistake. For example, if they had a punishment from their teacher because of they do not do their homework, as a parent we do not have to protect our children’s mistake. We must ensure that our children realize their mistake. Besides that, we must give an encouragement to our children to build a goal and know how to appreciate their life. It is not easy to reach a mission without a vision. Yet, the children will know how our country has a freedom from the work hard of our prime minister and etc.
    In the era of 20th, most of the people are forget their past and want to continue their life present. But from the negative aspect, we will bear the bad generation that do not know how to appreciate about the past life? Then, the other generation will continue the same mistake. Do you think we want that type of generation to develop our country? As a Malaysian, we must think the best solution and teach the new generation to growth and develop Malaysia through the world.
    As a conclusion, learning about the past is very precious in our life. As a human, we must know how to appreciate the past and try to learn from the mistake. Experience is the best teacher. So, keep the word as wisdom in our life and improve our life from day to day. It is not difficult to a success if we have a vision and mission.

  44. There are several views from the people that learning from the past has no value for those who are living in the present. Some people hold the idea that learning from the past is totally worthless because they think that it is better to let the past "rest in peace". I didn’t agree with this statement. It is important for us keep memorizing the thing that happened in the past and then try to put and improving it on ours life now.
    Experience is the best teacher. Whether good or bad experience, it is very valuable for us. We can do reflection from our experience to bring us to live better in the present or future. As an example, when the first time we learned how to drive a car, probably we might have an accident because lack of experience, nervous and not used to handle the car. But when we already used with it, we will be able to drive easily and handle the car properly.
    Learning about the past can help us to shorten the time getting knowledge. To build a theory or formula needed many years or even decade. But by improving the present theory or formula, it is easy for us to get better learning and life. If we are didn’t learn from the past, maybe we still live in the cave and practising nomad culture.
    Learning from the past can help us to avoid the mistake in our live. By carefully examining the causes of the mistake we can take proper action to avoid it to be repeated again. Past also can inspire us in our nowadays lives. As an example, if we fail in our test, we know that we need to study more. We will realize that knowledge level is not same. Maybe we need to repeat study about the subject for ten times while others only need to study once.
    For the conclusion, I didn’t agree with the statement that learning from the past has no value for those who are living in the present. We should appreciate our experience to help us get better life in the present and future life.

  45. One of the best process of learning is learn through past experiences.Experiences teach us how to survive in the present life.Therefore, I am disagree upon learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present.

    Past life will make us more matured in whatever we do.We will remember in what have happened in previous and think twice before making any decision.Past life also make us to remember and realize that we not have to do the same mistake like before.This will make our decision might be more precise.

    Other than that, past life will bring us such a good value.That is 'Appreciation'.When we flash back into the past and realize that we have feeling of losing something or someone the we loved,this will make us more appreciate to this life.Past life teach us how to remember God and encourage us to pray to Him.Appreciation to God is a very priceless and meaningful.When we think about our beloved person,we will feel responsible to them and we keep trying to make them happy living together with us.More past experiences will generate more appreciation.

    Besides, past life able to change people to be a better person.People realize that what they have faced in past and trying to make this life much more better than before.The effort of improving life is very important and also create a good self motivation to people in way of changing to be a better person.Past life will make people become important in working, role in family and also to the society or nation.

    When we experienced a lot of things in past, we will gain more knowledge.Experience is the best teacher!Based on past experiences, people will more better in the way of thinking and become more rational.People now able to evaluate about positive and negative things just based on their past experience.

    Learning from the past also teach us how to enjoy this life.People must realize that every second in this life is very meaningful and priceless.Enjoy and grab it!We cannot turn back to the past and we deserved and should enjoy in every single moment that we have now.Life is short and make this life more colorful with the full of happiness.

    As conclusion, past and present will come together.Past generating experience to make it present more interesting as well make future more guaranteed with joy, glory and success.
    Learn from the past and change our life become more better and happy.Life is just simple and do not make it complicated.

  46. Question 9: learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present.

    Learning about the past can help us to shorten the time for getting knowledge. The human knowledge was accumulated through much generation. Experience is something that we use in situations in which we don’t know exactly what to do. When we have experience we usually do not repeat the same mistakes. Experience is one of the essential tools we have to carry during our existence. Whatever decision we want to make firstly we have to look back and see what we learned in the past. This is call experience. Experience is gain from the past. The past make a huge importance for us living in the present.
    Today we want to find a better way in which we can find the solution to solve the problems we are now facing and at the same time to perspective a promissory future. There are many organizations and other people who are willing to make a better world. But to achieve this goal we have to consider the past. Assuming that we made mistakes in the past we can make things better because we have in what to mirror.
    The young people around the world ignore the advice given by the old people and prefer to do things by themselves. The evidence is many young people involved in drug, several girls get pregnant in adolescence and a young generation who disrespect completely their parents. However in the world today many people who don’t care about the past.
    Moreover, teaching about the past help us to avoid the mistake in our life. Our cultures and traditions are way in which we can link the present with the past. While we keep our tradition and culture alive our children will know how to deal with there environment. They also know how important is to respect the elders and the community.
    As a conclusions is I strongly affirm that treasuring the value of past is a must with us since it can inspire us in daily lives, shorten our getting knowledge time and help us to avoid the mistake.

  47. QUESTION 9
    Learning from past experience can improve our knowledge. From experience can make them learn batter. Some people say that past experience no value for those of us living in the present. From the time man lived in dank caves to nowadays when he lives in such a modern life with a lot of excellent facilities. The modern life, the excellent facilities was not a present from god. It was made by people of all generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it. Thus, I totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.
    The first reason for this is that learning about the past brings us all the knowledge and information in the past. Without yesterday, there is no today. A society can develop only when its people inherit and understand the achievements of the precursors because the precursors' achievements were the foundation for everything to develop. For example, before 1964 there was only black-and-white television but until now there are kinds of color televisions that are slim and innovative such as LCD TV. The black-and-white television made the basis and gave inventors idea to develop the modern TV nowadays. Consequently our knowledge, success today is the result of constant work of our ancestors before.
    For second my opinion, I agree that learning about something in the past can bring us some value; success will not come without failure, especially old history that can make our next generation become appreciate about their ancestors and interest to know the history of the world. For example we can see all about the victory before. All the young people can learn from the past history
    Thirdly, learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.
    As a conclusion, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable. The past experience can make people had a some knowledge for future.

    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present .This statement are not truth. Actually the past experience is a good for our future. The modern life, the excellent facilities was not a present from god. It was made by people of all generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it. Thus, I totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.
    Learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.
    Additionally, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable.
    Furthermore, we should also follow the examples of the great people of history, that managed to bring change to the world, people such as Galileo Galilee, Martin Luther King Jr, John. F. Kennedy and so on. Not only does history teach us to learn from early mistakes but it also provides and promotes ideas everyone should take into consideration (liberty, equality, peace, truth).All things considered, I believe that we have a great amount to learn from our past, and only by understanding our past will we be able to provide a better future.
    To sum up, we must learn the past and also know the history about the past. It is having the important. the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Denying the past also means that we are destroyed the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

  50. QUESTION 9
    Now a day, there are many people who think that they are able to do something by only their selves and they don’t need any help for their works. However, in my concern, it is too conceited thinking’s. Nobody can be perfect and they need helps for doing their work successfully; I believe that learning past would be the best helping hand for your great jobs since we can learn many things form the past because of our imperfection, and there are many information which is useful for solving our problems.

    First and the foremost, human being are not as smart as we think. It means no one would be a ‘Superman’ or ‘Wonder woman’, so they should make mistakes on their works. According to the psychologists, people are generally fallow their own way to solve the problem, and never changing it. Whenever they doing some same things, they make some fault. And they suggest that it can be modified by learning their past events and practicing right ways. It means we should remind the past facts and find out better solution to progress our thinking’s and actions. I have a similar experience about it, that is, I worked for my college as a web designer and several problems had been occurred during our works. When I became a master designer, I found that many errors have commons and we already tried to solve those problems. Using those past facts, I could prevent erupting those kinds of problems.

    On the top of that, we can find and learn what we never think from the past. Some of our ancestors are really genius and their thinking’s and views are so deep that they serve various brilliant ways making something better. From those points, we can apply it and put our steps on higher level. In addition, it sometimes offers the incredible way to solve the problem. For example, when I took a project developing cell-phone operating system in my major, there is a fatal error looked like never solving. At that time, my professor suggests a method that is really out-dated, and then we could make it.

    In those standpoints, we should learn the past history because people are not perfect and they serve brilliant ideas that we can involve on our works. And this is very important topic because it would be not just a personal problem, but also a company’s, nation’s and our world’s hitch. That’s why we should consider and subscribe the past information’s carefully and then I believe that we would progress to better world.

  51. The past is very important for universities, colleges and schools. If education centres have good reputation, ex-students are in good position and feed back is good then students want to get admission otherwise not. For admission people learn about the institute from their past. Hence I want to say that past shows the direct impact on present in case of education centres.

    In my opinion, for arranged marriages past is very important. Before marriage all family members want to know about the past of the girl and boy. I think this is very important for a happy married life. I have seen many cases, in which people did not know the past of girl or boy and after some time the couple do not want to live together and get separate.

    In many cases, present depends on past. For example, science is past and technology is present. Technology depends on science. Technology is implementation of science. That’s why I am very grateful for invention of science. Technology is not possible without science. For discovery of new technology researcher has to go through science.

    If people want to know about any country then they will have to study about that country. With the help of history, people can say whether it is a rich or a poor country. Learning of past is also very important to learn about the culture of that country.

    Past is also very important because we always learn from the past. It does not matter, whether it is good or bad. Sometimes if we do a mistake and not make a right decision for future then we will be alert and will not make the same mistake again. In my opinion I would like to say that past has direct impact on present. For instance, if students do hard work in their studies then they get good marks, reach to a higher position after study and find a reputed job. On the other hand, those who do not work hard remain in same position and do not have good job.

    Furthermore,learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.

    Additionally, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable.


    In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Denying the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

  52. Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes, from the times when he depicted a herd of mammoth on a wall of a cave to nowadays when he drives a car, watches TV and surfs an Internet. I believe that all achievements that were made by humankind are possible only because people always learnt from their past. In fact, the definition of learning includes the idea of accumulation of experiences from the past with present knowledge. So, I must totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.

    The first reason for this is that human evolution was possible only because people accumulated their experience and knowledge of ancestors and it helped them to make a step forward. Second of all, they analyzed their mistakes and tried to avoid them next time. People tried to improve their life by learning from the past. Just imagine that every one would have to discover by himself that 2 + 2 = 4 or that fire can be harmful. Furthermore, all knowledge that we have now is a result of the constant work of our ancestors.

    Another important aspect of the fact that our past is essential is that past makes us doubt. Take for example the fact that a few centuries ago people were sure that the Earth was flat. Next generations with their new experience proved that the Earth was round. I believe that it happened not because scientists did not know about previous achievements in this area but because their new observations made them doubt about the well-known fact and they developed the new theory.

    In addition, if follow the statement that our past has no value for us then we should not take experience and any advices from our parents. Imagine, that we learn by ourselves how to speak, walk, drive car, cook, read, etc.

    To summarize, I think that learning from the past is even more important then our own experience. One can not move forward if he does not realize why and where he is now.

  53. QUESTION 9
    Learning’s about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answers.
    I most probably disagree with the statement of the learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. I more likely said that is better than nothing to learning in our surrounding. Yes it is true about the transformation from the past until now bring a lot of changes and also development whole the world. But because of the previous experiences we can create new ideas and various kind but maintaining the identity.
    First of all, learning from the experience will make we think rationally. The experience is the best teachers to guide we all from error. All the experience will make we reflect back the bad and good things than naturally will think ways of the better way. For an example on basic daily living that will continuously we do almost every day such as cooking. Nowadays many type preservative additional food we can get for the super market, all this type happens since for long years to upgrading the taste with try create new flavor and variation. All this come because form the experience and try to get the new things and share with others people.
    Secondly, take a lesson make we think about the past. Not much we can apply without experiences. Usually we learned from whatever we though in positive or negative ways. For example we do the experiment on school project, we need do few test to make the project success and achieve the goal of the project. Then make we build creative solution not only depends on book. So it’s kept into mind previous experiences to guide for further.
    Thirdly, often parent like to show example from surrounding to their child. Usually news paper, magazine, story books, television will come out with new news and any information that make them take note and tell to their child the good value and learning’s. They don’t want it’s that happen to own their children and make sure their family in harmony and successful family. All the people if can be role model to other family.
    Finally, everybody have own Principe on self that lead the attitude. Most of the successful person start from mistake and learned from mistake. Their will more appreciate because come from themselves and more reliable. Experiences and good value make them can thing naturally with rational. So learning from the past very important to life and cannot just ignore it.

  55. Learning about the past has no value for those of us in the present. Do you agree with that? For me, I totally disagree with this statement. We always heard about learn from the mistake. So, this showed that we have to learn and think positive about the past situation.

    Everyone makes mistakes. The experience can make us to come out with positively action. For example, if the person is got experience be a termination victim of employee. This can make the person come out with the better way in order to attract the new employee and be more loyalty. When we make a mistake or worse still, faces failure, this can make increase our self esteem. We will try the best in order to give improve ourselves.

    Some of us use the sharing technique especially in family institution. Share stories of our own past failures and successes to show to new generation that failure and success are part and parcel of life. What we had learnt from the experience and what you did to overcome the mistakes. Many of us have to manage the challenges before we achieved success.

    Experience is the best teacher in order to make ourselves be a perfect person. We have to practice and gain the experience. For example in nursing profession, the nurses need knowledge and skills. Experience did the skills and practices it many times can make them perfect and be a skillful person. This can improve their skill. So, they learn from that.

    Past situations or experience also can create of the reflection either it be positive and negative. In the business development they usually use some strategies to improve the business. They usually got experiences that make them look back about the business. They have a chance to improve it. They also take the precaution to avoid the bad situation from happen again.

    Having a past history also can make us more independent. Improvement in the lifestyle is important to everyone. We have to improve our lifestyle from generation to the next generation. Some of us make the past history to be their inspiration. This can make us more motivated and be a better person one day.

    As a conclusion, learning about the experience, past history, mistake can make us more success in life. So, think about that!

  56. How do we know that Malaysia’s Independence Day is on 31st August 1957? Is the day is invented without purpose? Is there any meaning behind it? All of these, the answer is on the history itself. We will not know anything if we forget about the past. In fact, we learn a lot from events that happen before we were born.
    I totally disagree if learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. In fact, history teaches us the most valuable lesson. Without the past, we will not be able to move forward and improve ourselves. Let say, if we did not take a lesson from the day colonist leave our country, I think Malaysia will not be what it is today. There will be no KLCC, Light Railway Transit (LRT) and etc.
    Moreover, learning about the past makes us more matured. We learn from the mistakes and try very best to not repeat the same mistakes again and again. At the same time, we tend to leave immature behaviour and grown up. For example, our behaviour and mind compared to during the school days and now, surely have different, whether it is many or slightly only.
    If we did not learn from the past, we will not be able to achieve whatever dream we want to achieve. It is because, we did not know how to start, where to begin and what is the key point of it. All of these we can get from the past. We can see from the invention of telephone, for example. If Alexander Graham Bell did not start the invention of telephone, we today would not know what telephone is. From his invention, peoples start to improve the invention day by day, and now, telephone is being used all around the world.
    To sum up, learning from the past has value for us living in the present. It cannot be forgotten and we can learn much from it.

  58. QUESTION 9

    I disagree about the past has no value for those of us living in the present . The thing pas very important of someone because it is always remember in the life . From the past can became the best in the future . Such as , I fall with motorcycle but now I careful to ride the motorcycle because I cannot fall again .There are several views from the people, whether important or not for us keep memorizing the thing that had happened in the past and then try to put on ours life now. For this topic, I would like to discuss about the positive and negative impacts that we can get from that.
    First of all, there are some proverbs said, the bad experiences are the best teacher that can bring us to live more better in the present or future. For instance, when the first time we learned how to drive a car, probably we might have gotten accident because of lack experiences, but by the time we had already used to it, we will able to drive with easily and pretty sure we know how to handle the car even though the road is treacherous. In addition, learning about the past can make us more efficient either in time or money. Moreover, we can give a good impacts to other people too. In general, the child will always follow in his/her parents behaviour during the process of maturity.
    However, there are also some adverse results that we can get if we still stick with something in the past. People who had ever committed with drugs, they should try to forget it. Otherwise, they will never move on.
    In my opinion, I agree that learning about something in the past can bring us some value, success will not come without failure, especially old history, that can make our next generation become appreciate about their ancestors and interest to know the history of the world.

  59. Some people believe that when something occurs, it happened and we do not need to see these events to find any value from them. I, however, disagree with this type of thinking. I, personally, believe that the past is a sufficient light for future, because of, its opportunity of learning from famous people treatments and utilization of other men experiences.

    The lives of famous people in the history of each nation are the appropriate examples of how we can be a successful person in our life. Besides, the behaviors of those, give this chance to us to find a not only brilliant but also adequate way to prosperity. For instance, all of us know the Tomas Edison, who was the inventor of electricity; we can study his personal characteristics to find that what the important parameters of his achievements were. In addition, sociologists affirm that the stories of famous human being are the best motivator of present people to work hard for finding their way.

    Secondly, the application of other people experiences is such an effective way that we can learn many things from them. Use of other people experiments is one of the most important ways of learning of life's difficulties, when you do not need to do them personally. Therefore, you have this comfortable occasion to not repeat the same errors. For example, by seeing my father's life and finding his faults in his whole life, I never insist to walk in his way, while I know that this path will be a blind alley.

    To conclusion, studying people and events of the past time is more useful to find the causes of failures and victories. We can learn many things from the life of famous people, so we can follow them to gain our dreams. Furthermore, the flaws of other people life show us the distinctive manner tending the wrong ways.

  60. People often say those who do not understand history will repeat the mistakes of the past. I totally disagree. I do not see any evidence that people have made smart decisions based on their knowledge of the past. To me, the present is what is important, not the past. I think that people, the weather, and politics determine what happens, not the past.
    People can change. We cannot assume that people will continue to hate one another just because they have had hated one another for years. Look at Turkey and Greece. When Turkey had an earthquake, Greece sent aid. When Greece had an earthquake, Turkey sent aid. Now, these two countries are cooperating and looking forward to improved relations. No doubt, if we looked at the past, we could have thought this was a lost cause. But people change.

    The weather can change. Farmers think that they can plant certain crops because these crops have always grown well in their fields before. But the weather can change. There can be a long drought. The crops that have always worked well will die. A drought-resistant crop needs to be tried. If we looked at the past, we would not have changed our crop and we would have lost our farm.

    Weather changes. Politics an change. According to my way of thinking, politicians must be responsive to changes in the people. If politicians looked only at the past, they would always say the same thing. People change. On the whole, people today care about human rights. They warn all people to have the equal rights. If we looked at the past in the United States, we would see a lot of discrimination against races, women, and sexual orientation. Now, that is changing. Politicians changes, too.

    As a rule what is important today is to follow the mood of the moment. We can be looked in the past. It does do us any good to think about the past. People, the weather, and politics can change in any direction. The direction of this change, in my opinion, cannot be predicted by studying the past.

  61. Experiences teach us very good moral from the past. So I disagree if learning about the past has no value for those of us that living in the present. We need reflect back from the past to gain a new life and make it a lesson so we are not doing the same mistake.
    The elders always said that the younger should always be higher at least one step from them. This statement shows how the previous generation doesn’t want their future generation to be like them. But in this situation is the younger should see the basic that they need to take to start stepping. So, the youngster must see the back to start a new life. If their father is a fisherman, they should be a government staff or a businessman. Whatever they want to start, they have to look the past before they can success. From the past they can see what they should improve so that they not repeating same mistake or same lack which had done previously. That can develop a success future.
    Learning from the past help us reflect our selves whether good enough or still need to be improved. This is a good motivator for us in order to build up self confidence, skills and action in future.
    Based on the past also help us develop more inventions that been discover before. We used the formulae and edit it through the time being. The point here is, we still need to look back to see the future.
    History has taught us that we should believe our selves before believe others. This is because, the when we start to believe people too much and cause the country fall into others power. They utilized all the resources for their benefit. At least nothing left for the future. We should learn the past so that the history of the dark is not repeating. We need to learn on how to protect and defence our nation from been conquer by others.
    In summary, I do prefer that past is very value for us. It actually teach us on how we can be a better man by learning from the past. It also helps us always improving ourselves from time being. The best words here is, never neglect the history because it might repeated.

  62. Everyone of us in this world have their own past. Some are good but some are evil. According to the past, it can really affect our life now. So I disagree with the statement above about learning about past has no value for those of us living in the present.

    In Malaysia, we can see that we are rich in our tradition. All the races in Malaysia, there are all use their own tradition to celebrate their festival. In Malay custom as I am Malay, we celebrate our Eid with lemangs, ketupat, or dodol. So this is actually we all learn from our grand grandparent. It is all originally from the past. We nowadays only follow it in our festival. We Malaysians love to follow our tradition because we all really appreciate our past.

    Secondly, learning our past is really helpful for us to appreciate our independent. Malaysia had been an independent country for 53 years. For us, as a youth, learning our past can make us really appreciate our grandparent when they are all fight for the independent from others. When we install the spirit of independent in our heart, we can feel that, independent is a very valuable thing, it is because without the independent, we cannot live in a very peaceful country for 53 years.

    Learning from the past is actually almost the same like we learn from our mistake. We as a human, we cannot run away from doing mistake. We have to use our past to avoid from us doing a same mistake that we have done before. We must always evaluate every mistake that we have done

    We can use our past as our reflection to our life. What I can say from this view is, we have been live in this world for about 20 years and plus, and we had been through anything, either good or bad. From this experience, we can see who we are actually. If we always a done bad things, we can say it that, we are actually a bad people, so we have to change it.

    The conclusion from this discussion is, we must see the past so that we can learn from it. It really can motivate us to continue our life and upgrading the way of life.

  63. Some people will say that ‘what past is past’, but they don’t realize that the past has teach us o a lot about life. That be one of the reason why we learn history subject in school. I totally disagree about the statement that past has no value for those of us living in the present. It was made by people of all generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it.
    I really think and believe that all achievements that were made by humankind are possible only because people always learnt from their past. In fact, the definition of learning includes the idea of accumulation of experiences from the past with present knowledge, research also find from the past and accept the new model of the universe.
    Take for example the fact that a few centuries ago people were sure that the Earth was flat. Next generations with their new experience proved that the Earth was round. The research done after some of them are not satisfied that earth if flat by the past. Without the past, we can not improve and do the research to correct the wrong fact. The great majority of technology today depends directly on several thousands of years of work of past thinkers.
    History or tradition has the effect of constraining our thought in the present and many important philosophical and scientific breakthroughs have only been possible as a direct result of ignoring the past. The past, in a sense, can blind us to the truth, we can become bound by tradition. It is important, however, to ignore the past so that we can make a step forward, and such free thinking should be encouraged, although not at the expense of past knowledge
    Learning about the past is like we learn about our parents. If our parents do the mistake when they are young, do we should do the same mistake? Of course no, so we must know the past to correct or mind now to improve ourselves to be better people in this world and may be someone that proud of our parents someday.

  64. Experience is something that we use in situations in which we don’t know exactly what to do. When we have experience we usually do not repeat the same mistakes. Experience is one of the essential tools we have to carry during our existence. So whatever decision we want to make firstly we have to look back and see what we learned in the past. This is called experience. Experience is gained from the past. The past makes a huge importance for us living in the present
    However, in the world today there’re many people who don’t care about the past. In many places of China, India and Africa people are losing their traditions and cultures arguing that they’re now living in globalize world and they don’t need the old habits.
    After many centuries the man has experienced situations such as war, segregation, apartheid, colonialism, holocaust, genocide among others. Ignoring the past correspond to ignore these things. These things have caused a lot of hate, discrimination, racism, disobedience, and death of innocent people, slavery, terrorism, conflicts between nations and religions and many other problems that have damaged the human existence.

    Our cultures and traditions are a way in which we can link the present with the past. While we keep our tradition and culture alive our children will know how to deal with their environment. They’ll also know how important is to respect the elders and the community.

    There’re many organizations and other people who are willing to make a better world. But to achieve this goal we have to consider the past. Assuming that we made mistakes in the past we can make things better because we have in what to mirror.

    Today we want to find a better way, in which we can find the solutions to solve the problems we are now facing and at the same time to perspective a promissory future. But what we can’t do is forget the past if we want to accomplish this objective.

  65. People often say that those who do not understand history will repeat the mistakes of the past. I totally agree with this statement. For me, the past is very important for the development of an individual and the whole society.

    First of all, that human evolution was possible only because they knew to accumulate their experience and knowledge of ancestors and it helped them to make a step forward. Looking back on the past we can see our mistakes, our shortcoming and from those we can analyze and try to avoid them next time. People tried to improve their life by learning from the past. All knowledge that we have now is a result of the constant work of our ancestors.

    Secondly, talking about history – an aspect of the past, we can see that the past is really important. History helps us realize the savage and cruelty of war. I think all of you absolutely know about the most two terrible wars in the world: the world war one and the world war two. They resulted in many severe consequences for people all over the world. Whole the world was awash with blood. Everything is in ruin. Atom bombs turned our world back to the dawn of humankind. The war is really dangerous and terrible. From these, young generations become love the peace more and more. They will act for the general peace of the world.

    Finally, the past gives us evidence of great civilization in human history, the great exploration as well as important inventions. If it were not for history, we might not know about the history of human evolvement. We might not know who invented the telephone, who explored America for example. A lot of question marks about the earth could not be cleared up.

    To summarize, I think that learning from the past is even more important than our own experience. One cannot move forward if he does not realize why and where he is now.

  67. I am strongly disagreed to a statement which says that learning about the past has no values for those of us who living in the present. For me, it is wrong because without the past, we might not know the current or the coming one.
    Past thing got a lot of values in our life. Past may help us improve ourselves in our life. For example, when you know that you are weak in swimming, do you willing to jump to the sea? Absolutely not, right? How can do you know that you are weak in swimming? For sure, it is comes from your past experience that you are almost drown to the sea or river. The other thing is when you know about your weakness, what will you do? Don’t you feel like to take a swimming lesson and learn how to swimming? It is for your own benefit. The first benefits are you will not be laugh by your friend because you are not able to swim and the second one is you will not easily been drown at the sea.
    It is shows how the past meaningful for you. It taught you on what you are weak or doing wrong, and past also teach you to improve yourself at that same time. It can help you managing your current life according to what you had gone through before. For example if you are on your first day working in your life, you might not be able to manage what time to wake up and get prepared, what time start your journey to the office and how long does it take to arrive your working place. On the second day, you are already got the experience, so that you are able to manage it better than before.
    Beside that, past also act as and memory between you and your beloved one. It can give lots of lesson to build up humanity in everybody’s mind. We need to change our mind from thinking that past has no value for those who living in present. What past is past, but we need to keep it as our guidance in life.

  68. 9. Agree or disagree learning about the past has no values for those living in the present?

    As we all know experience is the best teacher in our lives. Some people take what they experienced in the past are very important to improve their lives in the present. Some people believe that when something occurs, it happened and we do not need to see these events to find any value from them. However, I disagree with this type of thinking. I believe that the past is a sufficient light for future because of its opportunity of learning from famous people treatments and utilization of other men experiences.

    All of human being in this world must do mistakes in their lives. But, we also must take the past experience as learning such as from a famous people. The lives of famous people in the history of each nation are the appropriate such as how we can be a successful person in our life. Besides, the behaviors of those, give this chance to us to find a not only brilliant but also adequate way to prosperity. For instance, we also can take past history in or country as a learning that we can take to improve our lives now. So there is useful to learn with the past to improve our lives in the present lives.

    Secondly, the application of other people experiences is such an effective way that we can learn many things from them. Use of other people experiments is one of the most important ways of learning of life's difficulties, when you do not need to do them personally. Therefore, you have this comfortable occasion to not repeat the same errors. For example, by seeing father’s life and finding his faults in his whole life, I never insist to walk in his way, while I know that this path will be a blind alley.

    To conclude, studying people and events of the past time is more useful to find the causes of failures and victories. We can learn many things from the life of famous people, so we can follow them to gain our dreams. Furthermore, the flaws of other people life show us the distinctive manner tending the wrong ways. There is no harm or unsafely when we learn from the past however it makes our lives now much more better.

  70. I disagree wholeheartedly that learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. In fact, the definition of learning includes the idea of an accumulation of experiences from the past. Learning can only take place if we make an association between things that have happened in the past or between something in the past and something that we predict will happen in the future.

    Our pasts, if we let them, can follow us forever and have either a positive or negative effect on our present moment reality. The truth is the past is only a memory that has been stored within our subconscious mind. Even though the past is over and done with, the experiences we have gone through have deeply affected every aspect of our lives for better or worse. Our past experiences have shaped our personalities, our relationships, and even how we handle our lives in the present.

    No more and nothing less. In any given moment we can choose to learn from our past and decide to let it go. If we don’t let the past go then it can become a huge burden to our present lives. If we allow this to happen, then we let our past determine our future as well. The past is but a memory and the future is but a dream. The present moment is our only true point of power. It’s vitally important to remember the illusory nature of time. The past and future can seem so very real, but our lives are really just a series of present moments, one after the next. Thus, the key to transforming your body is to harness the power of each moment as it is happening.

    In short, learning from and analyzing the past has enormous value for us and It is important, however, to ignore the past so that we can make a step forward, and such free thinking should be encouraged, although not at the expense of past knowledge. Fully embrace the present moment; for it is what you do today that determines your tomorrow. So, study the past, if you would divine the future.

Besides, the behaviors of those, give this chance to us to find a not only brilliant but also adequate way to prosperity.

  73. Question 9

    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Everyone around the world has their memory in the past. As we are in the present situation, sometimes we don't even realize that the events we did in the past is whether true or false. As the arguments above, I fully disagree with the statement. Reasons and example listed below will strengthen my point of view.
    First of all, learning about the past can aware we do not do anything that we did wrongly in the past. Although some people understand they had done something wrong in the past, but they don't treat it as an experience to aware doing it again.
    Learning from past will give us a chance that we would able to do it again in our present situation. My friend for instance, he had failed the entire subject that he taken in last semester. However, at the beginning of this semester, he decide to do it well as he had promised to he's parents. Finally, days before exam, he had forgotten what he has told he's parents, as the result, he fail it again. For this kind of situation, people don't ever think what failure they had done in the past, they only though they are lucky in present.
    Secondly, Learning about the past, can give you an opportunity to improve yourself in learning some other knowledge in order to increase your ability. Experience is gained from the past. Furthermore, experience can determine whether the thing that you do is in the proper situation or not. It can also help you to utilize your ability to make a thing nice and right.
    Finally, although there is no value for those of we living in the present, but our memory in the past can show the way that you are going to do during the present living situation. Moreover, we can remember it and treat it as our experience to remind and rectify us in future.
    In conclusion, learning about the past not only can help to increase your personality, but also can give you an advice automatically in future incidents. Therefore, I absolutely disagree with the above statements and determine that the past events has its' own value that we never have a chance to learn from the outside world.

  74. Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. I would like to disagree because of experience is the best teacher. Experienced is a knowledge and skill that we have gained through doing previous moment or events elderly people gained their knowledge based on their experiences and other resources. Other resources are such as magazine, newspaper, history and the latest issues.
    An experience is a continuous event in our life. Everyday we will have a moment neither sad or joy. But, it will help us to be more human being. Human being will develop naturally without forces, rules or law. It will turns to our brain to manipulate for memorising an events or things. People will try harder to memorize their memory to prevent doing the same mistake for the second time. No wonder, an experience will be as the best teacher in our life.
    Experiences also will help us in improving our knowledge. Based skill and knowledge will be mastery if we always learnt to gain knowledge from the previous until the present. Learning on living things will help us as a guidance to continue our journey.to live in this world; we need knowledge based on our experiences or books. Unfortunately, books will be classified as another experiencing. Moreover, not at all is learnt in present .people will always learnt from mistake.
    Value of experiences will make us to appreciate our self so learning in previous or present both have their value on how to interpret the data or information for people to accept. Actually both of this will help us to gain our knowledge by continuous learning. As a result, we can improve our self for better than before.
    We can conclude that experienced is learning for us rather than a present. Learnt from the experiencing people will guide and help us to gain our knowledge for better understanding.

  75. Essay no 9.
    Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree?

    We are study history since in secondary school. However, people think history is a must study then future and present are more important than past. They consider that history is not relevant to present or future. I don’t agree this declaration. Strictly speaking, there is no present. This moment we are talking now already became past. Moreover, we don’t even know what will happen in the future. We only wait for them.

    In this sense, past is very important for both present and future. First, past help us understand our present. We can understand well about what we are doing this, how come we started that, or what we are supposed to do for those things by learning past. People who are living in the present have never experienced past. It might be very hard for them to understand present. For example, there is someone who works for North and South Korea’s unification. If he doesn’t know enough about what happened between them in the past, he can never find proper solutions. Therefore, learning past is very important for living in today.

    Second, furthermore, past is a key to solve problems which will come up in the future. History is repeated. We may meet an event which has happened before. If we learned from past, we can deal with that event properly and prevent making mistake. History provides us with the way we have to go forward. As example, we celebrate fifty years Independent Day in our country but did we know our country was taken over for 446 years? Actually our freedom is still young, if we not protect of our country, possible to be colonize is can be repeated.

    Additionally, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. As example, government develop the law by refer to the history. If government making law by themselves, our people can argue the law.In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Deny the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

    We study history, not only for an academic study, more for understanding present we are living in now and preparing future we will meet. Without learning about history, there are no present and future. Those who do not learn from the past are ruined to repeat it. The past carries lessons and wisdom.

  76. People often say � Those who don�t understand history will repeat the mistakes of the past.� I totally disagree. I don�t see any evidence that people have made smart decisions based on their knowledge of the past. To me, the present is what is important, not the past. I think that people, the weather, and politics determine what happens, not the past.
    People can change. We can�t assume that people will continue to hate one another just because they have had hated one another for years. Look at Turkey and Greece. When Turkey had an earthquake, Greece sent aid. When Greece had an earthquake, Turkey sent aid. Now, these two countries are cooperating and looking forward to improved relations. No doubt, if we looked at the past, we could have thought this was a lost cause. But people change.

    The weather can change. Farmers think that they can plant certain crops because these crops have always grown well in their fields before. But the weather can change. There can be a long drought. The crops that have always worked well , will die. A drought-resistant crop needs to be tried. If we looked at the past, we would not have changed our crop and we would have lost our farm.

    Weather changes. Politics an change. According to my way of thinking, politicians must be responsive to changes in the people. If politicians looked only at the past, they would always say the same thing. People change. On the whole, people today care about human rights. They warn all people to have the equal rights. If we looked at the past in the United States, we would see a lot of discrimination against races, women, and sexual orientation. Now, that is changing. Politicians changes, too.

    As a rule what is important today is to follow the mood of the moment. We can�t be looked in the past. It doesn�t do us any good to think about the past. People, the weather, and politics can change in any direction. The direction of this change, in my opinion, can not be predicted by studying the past.

  77. Your past life does not make any sense and do not contribute anything to you. It is just a past and makes your new life as an experienced for you. Learn from your mistake and forget about the past. But it is depends on the individual itself to decide whether the past has no value in the present on life. In my opinion I disagree that past has no value for those of us living in the present.
    Memory or mistakes in the past bring advantages in present life. It improve our life style especially the one have the unforgotten their previous memory. For example, appreciate the chance that you have and do not let it gone. Be responsible to yourself and the life that you want to begin with. Leave your life to God and do not blaming other or our self for the every mistake that we had done.
    Other than that, our personal experience makes us more matured in making any decision. Bad experience that we had gone through should take as a lesson. Do not repeat the same faulty in our present life. The most important is move on with your life and care about of our own dignity. For example, failure in your relationship does not mean you will in the life undertaking. Experience makes us to be better in choosing the best pathway that we should follow.
    Besides, your past experience in the health status also could be the experience to you. It improves your healthy lifestyle. For my personal experience, I had suffered for my asthma for more than five years. To prevent from sick, I have to take care of my diet, cleanliness and my surrounding environment. Make sure that I was not exposed to the dirty and dusty area to prevent myself from getting asthma.
    Young generation nowadays should learn from their past. Especially on the cultural and practice it in the daily life of yours. So that, our generation still remained and maintain until forever.
    In conclusion, the past does not mean it brings more disadvantages in life. It is important to practice and maintain the past for sometimes.

  80. I disagree about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. It is because don’t have past, in the present it will not learn anything from that past. Everything must face with the past and then appear the presence.

    For me, those people who had done mistake and in future they will not repeated it again. And the importance thing is, from the past, we can improve ourselves in term of mature thinking and quality of life. Besides that, past can make us learn the right thing and improve our skill in detail and effective.

    Past also can make ourselves realise that we must take a look out of the box what some thing happen. It must be some reason that some thing happen with causes. Then, past also can improve our lifestyle be better than yesterday. For example, today we had fight with friend for some reason but it will not harm and we get angry. After that we realise that it just small matters, so in future if we want to argue something, make sure it useable and not hurting any one else.

    Past can be best teachers for us. Mean that, from past we can learn much more better how to improve the learner. For example, in particle session, we have a lot to do then once we had mistake, forever we can still remember and promise to ourselves not to do it again and it just only learner from beginning. Then, from that, we must realise some thing that useful and right for us.

    Past can make our mind reflect back on what we had done. To improve on the right thing is not easy. That why past can improve ourselves to reflect back. It not easy to remember all things that really important. We only a human and it always happen then from that we can learn something new and.

    In conclusion, for me, past is the best teacher to teach all of us. By the way it can make ourselves more mature to face a problem and can solve it like mature man. Past can be anything, it just what we want to polish more or not.

  81. I disagree with the statement that learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. That is because without the past we now do not have in the present. For example is what discovery in the last hundred years has become a figure to all of us today.
    Past is the time that has been happening, without past we cannot have today. Past will teach us to benefit all the time that have present today. From the past we can be more prepared to do the best in our live itself in whatever matter. For example, we had a mistake in doing some job, so with the past mistake you will be remember do not to repeat it again. This example had happen to everybody because not everybody is perfect but they can do a perfect job if the past mistake the not repeated.
    Today is what has present now. Today is a good day to do something that is better than tomorrow. If yesterday you are a bad luck such as not enough time to do a home so today you will try and manage you time to finished thee home that get today and also yesterday. Moreover, you will be more prepared for the tomorrow to avoid you bad luck and get the luck it back.
    Past have their value and also their benefit. the benefit are we can learn to be the best for tomorrow such as we use the experience that happen in the past to create the best experience batter than the yesterday. Furthermore, we also can improve one skill to make it perfect that can we do for tomorrow to make us easy and fast but with practice. Besides that , what that happen in the past will give us spirit to learn more to be the best among the best such we prepared for tomorrow and make it sure that is the best day in your life. This attitude can make us appreciate the day had passed before.
    To sum up, what have been happen in the past will give you the best experience and the experience is the best teacher to make us learn more hard for tomorrow.

  82. The past is very important for universities, colleges and schools. If education centre have good reputation, ex-students are in good position and feed back is good then students want to get admission otherwise not. For admission people learn about the institute from their past. Hence I want to say that past shows the direct impact on present in case of education canters.

    In my opinion, for arranged marriages past is very important. Before marriage all family members want to know about the past of the girl and boy. I think this is very important for a happy married life. I have seen many cases, in which people did not know the past of girl or boy and after some time the couple do not want to live together and get separate.

    In many cases, present depends on past. For example, science is past and technology is present. Technology depends on science. Technology is implementation of science. That’s why I am very grateful for invention of science. Technology is not possible without science. For discovery of new technology researcher has to go through science.

    If people want to know about any country then they will have to study about that country. With the help of history, people can say whether it is a rich or a poor country. Learning of past is also very important to learn about the culture of that country.

    Past is also very important because we always learn from the past. It does not matter, whether it is good or bad. Sometimes if we do a mistake and not make a right decision for future then we will be alert and will not make the same mistake again. In my opinion I would like to say that past has direct impact on present. For instance, if students do hard work in their studies then they get good marks, reach to a higher position after study and find a reputed job. On the other hand, those who do not work hard remain in same position and do not have good job.

    Finally, I would like to say people should not be discouraged and disappointed if they do not have bright past. Mostly people say past has gone. But we have present in our hand which we should try to make it better.
