It is more important for schoolchildren to learn about local history than world history. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?

Teaching history to schoolchildren has been a heated topic over the years. There is a common
belief that local history is more important to children than world history. However, I disagree
with this view.

I believe the notion that local history is more valuable than world history should be rejected.
Some people may claim that ___________ into local historical values are completely ___________
for one to know. Their claim could have been true a few decades ago when most ___________

PREP.VN
communications were between people of the same race and origin. However, this view is now
outdated as the world has become globalised and international business and ___________
workers have made any community a global village. In this context, an understanding of a
foreign country’s history would ___________ the relationship between them and the ___________
from that country.

In addition, I am deeply convinced that children would benefit the most only when the learning
of local history is placed ___________ to that of world history. To understand a local historical
event, children should put the regional and sometimes even world context in that historical era
into consideration. For example, children should acknowledge that the event in which Vietnam
___________ its independence after ___________ the Japanese troops in Indochina in 1945 only
happened after ___________ events in World War II, one of which is the ___________ of Japan to
the ___________. With this perspective, children would understand history more deeply and
thoroughly.

To sum up, the study of local history should always be parallel to that of world history. This
practice would ___________ that children learn history more comprehensively and be able to
tighten the ___________ with migrant workers in their country.
