. Well, one of my favourite subjects is literature, which is the foundation and basis for almost every other subject.
. Basically speaking, literature covers a wide range of fields, including his- tory, poetry, philosophy, novels, short stories, drama, language and so on. Speaking of when I learned the subject, I must say that I have been study- ing literature ever since primary school, and strictly speaking, the time I spend studying literature is not confined to any certain period, but every little drop of my life.
. I am partial towards literature for a number of reasons.
. As mentioned above, literature is an important aspect of a variety of educational programs.
. So, how could one read and write or communicate with others without being literate?
. Moreover, literature can help us be more educated and informed, and at the same time, can help pave the way for opportunities in study and work.
. Besides, I feel that literature can motivate a person to think critically/ creatively/innovatively/independently/logically/systematically.
. Through studying history, religion, tradition and culture, one may develop a strong sense of logics, morality, etiquette ( 礼仪 ), principle and so on. And that’s really crucial for a person to function appropriately and effec- tively in society.
. More importantly, I always believe that literature contains the historical background of the time in which it was written,
. simply because literature is the record of the past, it is necessary for inheriting and passing on knowledge to the next generation.
. So, for me, I am quite interested in all aspects of the humanities, and lit- erature helps me understand them more insightfully and thoroughly.
