I concur with the statement that all university students ought to take compulsory history classes. The reason is that they can draw on past experiencesexperiences(past experience/memory (experience/memory)) in history to better judge the present. As people always draw on their past memoriesmemories(past experience/memory (experience/memory)) to make current decisions, university students should be informed of the humans’ collective memories, that is, history, to examine the present events. For example, the lessons of all the sufferings and sorrows the two world wars brought about can always effectively alert individuals to maintain peace and harmony worldwide. Thanks to the awareness of this historical lesson, all the members of our world community condemned Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Therefore, university students, who may influence the future in all walks of life, should by no means learn history in order to avoid repeating past failures.

6.文章修订

I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that all university students should be required to take history courses, regardless of their field of study. Studying history allows students to draw upon past experiences and events to better understand and evaluate current situations. Just as individuals rely on personal memories to make informed decisions, university students should be well-versed in humanity's collective memory, namely history, to critically examine contemporary issues.

For instance, the tragic consequences of the two World Wars serve as powerful reminders of the importance of maintaining peace and harmony worldwide. This historical lesson has been instrumental in shaping global responses to conflicts such as Russia's attack on Ukraine. Consequently, it is imperative for university students, who will shape the future across various sectors, to learn from history in order to avoid repeating past mistakes and contribute positively to society.
