- History
I‘d like to talk about a subject that I was quite keen on when I was at school. It was History.
To be honest! I didn‘t like History at first, That was because there were so many numbers, events and dates to remember, and it used to take me hours to learn by heart all of them for the exam. However, during my high school, I had an amazing history teacher whose teaching style has inspired me to study this subject a lot. Instead of forcing us remember things he often linked historical events with a relevant story. That made his lectures were very interesting and help us remember thing easier.
I’ve learned a lot from the subject which help me know what the world was like and how it worked, learning history also brings me closer to the culture of my country. But the most important thing is that, History teaches me to appreciate what I‘m having at present and draws the lesson from the past.
However, I wouldn‘t have been so much in love with this subject without my history teacher. I fell in love with History because of his teaching style. Now, even though History is neither my major nor being taught at University, I still have the habit of reading historical books whenever i have free time.
