Key words: 1.5-2 minutes talk, the importance of history, how important, as a school subject, what period, most interested in, why, what, favourite historical place or site, your country, why
History is part of the school curriculum for several very good reasons. One of the most important reasons is that history shows us the mistakes that people have made in the past and allows us to avoid the same mistakes. Learning your country’s history can give you a sense of national pride. It tells us about the struggles that ordinary people had to go through, ordinary people like our parents and grandparents. Also, learning about the past shows us how our society has developed over the years. In my opinion, studying history gives us a better sense of who we are, individually or as a society.
I ‘m most interested in the history of Ancient Rome. I love reading about how they conquered different countries and grew into an empire that influenced a lot of the world. They left their mark on most of the countries they invaded and were highly advanced in their military strategies. I’d love to visit Rome one day to see the Colosseum where gladiators fought against each other and wild animals.
One of my favourite historical places is Kizhi Pogost on Lake Onega, Karelia. There are two churches that date from the 18th century there, but the really interesting thing about them is the architecture and the fact that they are made from wood. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site, but not many people know about it outside of Russia.
