Looking at the more details, in terms of starting incomes, the Luxembourg ranked the first, which
was around 2.7 times as high as the Japan(28000) . furthermore, as for annual salaries after 15
years, the Luxembourg’s teachers also embraced the highest incomes, reaching to 112000,

Denmark and Australia experienced just under 10 years, whereas Japan, Korea and Luxemburg

Is it better to learn the way people lived in the past through films and video records than written
documents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
As technology development, an increasing number of people would like to learn the ancestors
through the videos and movies instead of paper documents. From my perspective, while digital
records can bring some benefits on knowing life in the past, I believe that written materials are
more excellent way when it comes to study history.

Admittedly, videos and films exist certain advantages in learning historical things. The greatest
merit is that make people grasp meaning of passed things easier. The videos would simplify
complicated history knowledge into easy level that most of people could understand. Apart from
that, this way would attract attentions, resulting in tedious historical knowledge becoming more
interesting. For example, the magnificent architectures, marvelous buildings and unbelievable
lifestyle in the past are displayed in the movies, which can improve the interest for learners and
stimulate desire to explore.
