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.
 
41) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the help of technology, 
students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly. Use specific 
reasons and examples to support your answer.
 
(a) With the help of technology, students can learn more information and that too more 
quickly. This is absolutely correct. I would like to support my answer with some reasons. 
First, technological learning is more interactive in its learning process than just sitting 
and reading a book or just listening to a lecture. For example the learning by the means of 
Computer technology is very interactive, today, and hence the growth is simultaneous. 
Second, using such kind of techniques, mind actually grows more and the person becomes 
an intellectual person with the passage of time. 
Third, the traditional methods of learning like lectures given by teachers or notes given in 
books
Do not let the student become independent rather the student becomes more dependent due 
to the spoon-feeding being done to it. 
Fourth, the technological advances in different fields definitely give a lot of exposure to 
those who were earlier naive in this field of Technology. 
Lastly, human mind is such that it has the capacity to absorb more data if things are 
taught to him practically. Like if there is a model of an Electric Iron shown in the Book, 
which is explained by the teacher and the students are made to understand the working. 
The other way could be this that the children are shown a real Electric Iron as a model and 
then the working of its different parts is being explained. Definitely the grasping power 
will be more in the latter case.
