　　雅思大作文【学习文学是浪费时间吗】高分范文示例  It might be understandable for some to consider student’s time spent learning literature as a kind of waste, but I would argue that this is due to the different perspectives of seeing the problem and it is totally worth it to study literature in one’s schooling period.

　　Some may hold that students spending time studying literature is a waste since this learning process may not produce any immediate benefits, and it is extremely unlikely to capture the essential truth of literature through a conventional educating system. As for them, all the things that are not practical in the short-term are deemed waste. Indeed, just like subjects related to science or economics, devoting oneself to literature also takes a great deal of time, patience and life experience. The enormous time spent understanding the difference between prose and poem, reading a large number of novels or fictions, or accumulating lexical and grammatical usages in every type of writing would be totally worth it if students finally created, say, fabulous articles or at least pieces of poetry. The reality is, however, that seldom do they become good writers because what they can learn from a typical writing class is just the sentences or expressions originating from other novelists, fictionist or poets, but creativity is ultimately what determines good writings, and this ability couldn’t be directly acquired through any writing classes without the experience of seeing the world through one’s own eyes. What is even worse is that literature becomes less and less valuable especially in the modern world where people have so many choices in terms of cultural products like, say, movies or tv shows rather than appreciating the pure words and sentences; this also makes learning literature a fruitless job.

　　The scenario listed above is just what those holding short-term thinking can imagine, which deprives us of the chance of seeing the core of the problem that lies behind, and that is the essence of education. Schooling is never about what provides us with the immediate return, but the systematic knowledge carrier that can broaden our mind, in which liberal arts, sciences, or humanities coordinate together, building our insights and reflections, and bridging our rationality and personality. Studying literature is also not the vocational training with the purpose of nurturing potential writers in the future, if at all, but the process during which students can feel the natural beauty of their language, and how languages have built up the entire aesthetic and logic system of the human being. In that case, literature definitely deserves its place to be learnt by most students, who have the potentials to become wiser, and are still curious about the world; it is just this subject that can lead them to see how linguistic data is sophisticatedly used to concretize the human’s imagination with such simple and abstract symbols. As the one with thousands of years’ history, recording almost all the activity of the human species, and the one that sets the wheel of all the other cultural products – movies, animations, etc.- in motion, how can we just say that the study of this “marvellous invention” is a waste of time? The simple-minded people holding this view may somewhat preclude us from being deep-minded, being profound and from gaining the ability to become stronger.

　　In conclusion, I certainly don’t believe that learning literature is a waste of time, since this subject is with great significance and generates more than just short-term benefits to students.
