Example 2
Some people say that it is useless for people who are currently living to learn what 
happened in the past. Such people may think so because they cannot change the 
past. However, I strongly disagree with this statement. 
We may be able to change our future by learning about the past. The past sometimes 
tells us about causes of adverse events, such as natural disasters and wars. By 
learning the causes and results of such events, we should be able to prevent them 
from occurring again in the future. For example, some wars had occurred because a 
single person took strong power to control the government and people. As a result, 
wars took place and many people died. In such cases, after the wars, laws were 
changed so that a single person could not have such power. 
Another important point of learning
about the
past is that more people can be 
protected from disasters by knowing the consequences of 
the 
past disaster. Records 
of past events inform us about how we can escape and protect us from disasters. 
They also tell hazardous areas. For example, several tsunami
s
hit the northern part of 
Japan in the past 500 years. For each tsunami attack, there are documents which 
recorded the height of tsunami, 
the 
hazardous area
s
, and distance from shore line 
which 
the 
tsunami reached. Based on such documents, the regional governments of 
the area recently have constructed high banks to protect the area from tsunami
s
and 
set hazardous areas where construction of houses is banned. 
For the above reasons, I disagree that it is useless to learn the past. We should learn 
more about what happened in the past to make our future better.
