TOEFL Essay: It is more important for students to study history and literature...

[blackswallow]

Learning history and literature is really important for students. It gives us knowledge of our country and the beauty of literary works. But it is more important for us learning science and mathematics. It gives us knowledge of technology, scientific subjects, then we can cultivate our mind, have more invention and understand more about the our body, our earth.

Mathematics is a subject that helps us cultivate our mind by exposing us to the difficult exercises. Day by day, month by month, year by year, we become more intelligent because we learned how to think creatively and logically. Mathematics also provides us with basic knowledge of calculation. Therefore, it is very necessary for us.

Mathematics teaches us the way of thinking and reason, and science give us knowledge, that is the materials we need to invent new things. The invention in medicine with new surgical method, new vaccine will save millions of life. The invention in technology with new communication method, new machine will motivate our economy. Thus, it is very helpful in our life.

Learning science is learning about us and everything around us. Biology gives us the knowledge of our body, animal, plant. Psychology tell us how our brain operates. Geography teaches us about the cities in our country and the world …The more we understand about our body, the more we can do to take care of it. The more we know about the plan, the animal, the earth, the more we can do to save it. So learning science is very important for us.

Without learning mathematics and science, we would not know calculation, there would no invention and there is no more knowledge of our body, our earth. Our living condition would not be improved. So I really think that it is more useful for students to learn mathematics and science than history and literature.
