【写作思路】

开头段：引出两种对历史的不同态度，表明学习历史的双边性。

主体第一段：分析第一个看法(学习历史没有作用): 可能因为1) 历史太久远，对当下没有参考；2）历史也包含偏见，真实性会受到怀疑；

主体第二段：分析第二个看法(学习历史帮助理解当下)：可能因为1）历史对当下有借鉴意义，帮助更深的理解当下的情况；2）我们可以更好的避免错误和做出选择；

结尾段：表明理解历史可能久远，但倾向于认为历史对当下有帮助。

【参考范文】

There are divergent views regarding the value of studying history. While some individuals argue that history has little relevance to our lives today and it would be a waste of time to study it, others hold the view that history can offer us valuable insights into the present and help us make informed decisions.

Those who hold the former view might argue that the events of the past are too distant from our current circumstances to offer any relevant insights. They might argue that people and societies have changed so much over time that history can no longer provide us with useful guidance. For example, the factors that triggered World War I will make little sense today. Additionally, they argue that history is not always accurate, since the records are often subject to bias and interpretation. Thus, the validity of history is always questionable. 

On the other hand, those who believe in the value of studying history argue that it provides us with a deeper understanding of the present. History can help us comprehend the origins of current events and circumstances, and help us avoid repeating past mistakes. For example, by studying the causes and effects of past conflicts, we can better understand the dynamics of contemporary geopolitical conflicts. This means that, by examining historical events, we can gain insight into the causes and consequences of human actions, and this can help us make better decisions in the present.

In conclusion, while it is true that history can be distant and difficult to interpret, I believe that studying the past is crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of the world and the forces that shape it. By examining historical events and trends, we will be more likely to avoid mistakes and make better choices in the complex settings of modern world.
