1 What do you think history is?
2 Do you like studying history? Why or why not?
I think history is more than just dates and names — it’s the story of human choices and their results. It helps us understand why the world is the way it is today, and by learning from past mistakes, we can make better decisions for the future.

History tells real stories about human life and mistakes. It helps me understand today's world and learn how to make better decisions.
No, I don't.
I find it boring because it often feels like memorizing old names and dates that seem far away from my daily life.
