.(Essay ID: 220.Sample essay provided by Erin Billy of www.TestMagic.com)Topic: 124I think it's more important for students to study history and literature.These subjects help usunderstand the human race and feed our spirits and our imaginations.That's more important thanunderstanding how to split the atom or do algebra.People talk about a crisis of spirit in our country.They mean we've forgotten how to believe inand understand our own better natures, I think part of this is because we've become too excitedabout facts and not enough about things we can't see and measure.Reading books from our ownculture helps us understand our roots.Reading books from other cultures helps us understand theway other people think and react to situations.It also teaches us that we're not so very differentfrom others, and that leads to better relations between cultures.Reading literature also feeds our spirits.Even when the material we're reading is about terriblesadness and hardship, it still brings us in touch with our inner selves.It makes us think aboutissues other than the new car we want to drive or how much money we're making.Studying history gives us more information than just who died when or who won which war.Ittells us about how human beings have related to each other at different periods in ourdevelopment.It gives us the big picture.So often, when international crises occur, we only see theproblem of the moment.We have no idea how something that happened twenty years ago was thebeginning of this current problem.Without that information, we can have only a shallowunderstanding of what's going on in the world.Both history and literature are necessary subjects for students to prepare for more than justcareers.These subjects prepare students for the way they want to live their lives.(Essay ID: 218 )Topic: 124It has long been a controversy amongst students and critics in prospective majors of the sciencesand arts to conclude which subjects would be more beneficial to study.While science studentsclaim that its field of study involves intellectual ability, arts students feel that the understandingand study of art is far richer in its importance chiefly in the influence through evolution of humanhistory.While I conclude that a balance in the knowledge of both the subjects are essential, let melay down my reasons.188TWE Essays 189/292Science and Math subjects are intellectually rewarding as they teach the understanding of theoriesthat improve human's living standards, such as researches conducted in universities and sciencelaboratories to enhance the lives of human beings with vaccines constantly being researched,produced and tested for incurable diseases.Without such a study, the world be in serious troubleof poor health and living standards.Every theory that is founded would have been tried and testedto prove its success, concluding how the study of science and math subjects requires intellectualcapabilities in its challenging field.While it is essential that the study of the sciences and mathcontinue to ensure a healthy living environment, it is also important that a science student receivesadequate education in the arts subjects to develop an artistic side of his life.A distinct culture of the arts student is his detailed and subjective approach toward a subjectwhich he has particular interests and talent.It is the beauty of life amidst all the things that couldbe explained by a science student and a mystery to study.While history had taken place, thestudy of human evolution is equally beneficial in developing a knowledgeable individual.It helpsenhance an individual's life in the ability to appreciate the beauty that life comes bundled in.In conclusion to my opinion, it is essential to have a balance in the study of arts and sciencesubjects as they complement an individual's life with knowledge and facts and the ability toappreciate the beauty of life, with god's gifts of music, literature and art.(Essay ID: 219 )Topic: 125I agree that all students should be required to study art and music in high school.'I've read thatyoung children who study art and music in grade school do better in their other studies.Thatargument aside, we should study art and music for its sake alone.We should study art and musicto learn more about ourselves, our culture, and our world.Both art and music feed students' imaginations and help them express themselves.There's areason our ancestors in caves drew on the walls and made music with drums.Wanting to expressourselves is natural.It gives us an avenue for our emotions and fears.It may not always be musicother people want to hear or art others will appreciate, but the activity itself is enjoyable.Itshouldn't matter if the end result isn't perfect.In the process, we learn what we like and dislike.Studying art and music means more than drawing or playing an instrument.Students usually go toart galleries and concerts, too.By studying the pictures on the museums' walls or by reading theprogram notes at a recital, students will learn what society has decided is worthy of praise.Theylearn what is important in their own culture.Students may also learn about other cultures by looking at art and listening to music from othercountries.When they do that, they'll see similarities and differences with their own.They'll learnabout what is important in other societies.Students will also learn how the art and music of othercultures affect our own.By studying art and music in high school, students begin to understand themselves as well as theirown culture and other cultures.What could have more value than that?(Essay ID: 221 )Topic: 126189TWE Essays 190/292There is much disagreement over whether there is something that young people can teach olderpeople or not.Some people claim that the older know everything better than the younger.Otherpeople, however, argue that the younger can master something that the older do not know.As faras I am concerned, the older can still learn something from the younger even if the former knowmore than the latter.Why do some people think that the older is more knowledgeable than the younger on
