Learning about the past has no value for those living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I feel that we spend too much time learning about the past and too little time reflecting either on the present or the future. I have come to feel that a good part of the past; perhaps too much, is already transmitted to us by our forebears. As we grow up we keep adding to this by uncovering more and more, with the apparent purpose of knowing more about the present. However, the problem is that by constantly referring to the past we bogged down in old ways of feeling and perceiving. The disadvantages of this approach become even clearer when you look at the actual result of such past- cantered thinking.
Isn’t it true that the bitterest conflicts around the world all seem to have deep-rooted histories? The media, the leaders and the patience. But this also requires that we forget old wrongs. Giving up bitterness is a difficult task since most of us continue to be mired in the past; it seems to be an essential trait of human nature.
Often the past seems like a series of pictures that stretch back with no end in sight. If for example, we take the Kashmir problem, its origin can be traced to the partition between India and Pakistan, to the independence movement, to India’s contact with the west, to medieval culture, till it begins to seem that the problem lies somewhere in the early A.Ds and B.Cs with the very origin and would have it. Similarly, the origin of the Palestinian problem seems to go back to the period when Moses led his people to the Promised Land. The trouble with these conflicts is that each problem in every backward step needs to be resolved. This is an impossible assignment for the best of leaders and international organizations.
I thus feel that as human beings we need to be trained to focus on the present and the future. This keeps us safe from many of our imaginary traumas and keeps others safe from our violent desire to correct a past mistake.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
