答案     When I was a secondary school student, I started to be interested in what was happening in the world. However, my accelerating interest to the world was not encouraged by my teachers who thought the only job for a secondary school student was to study the designated courses, such as science and arts . From my judgement, those people who claim it is a waste of school time to study international news were wrong and it is essential for secondary school students to know about the world .
    First of all, secondary school students are at a crucial stage of change, when their physical power is fast growing and their mental attitude is dramatically developing .At this period of time, their interest and curiosity about the world beyond their "comfort zone" are increasing. Unfortunately, they do not have money to travel to other countries, so learning about the news on media , such as from television, is one option for them to meet such a demand. The international news programmes on the media are a window from which students can have a broader perspective of the society in which they live.
    However, students may have difficulties in understanding the news, so they need help from school teachers, whose duty is to cultivate students to become a responsible person and qualified citizen. Secondary school students are young, and to some extent, naive. When they are exposed to media coverage, they might lack the ability to understand the complexities of the world. Furthermore, very often, there are distorted reports or misinterpretations of news in the media. Without necessary support and appropriate guidance from teachers, students may be misled and sometimes go astray; thus, secondary school teachers are actually in an important position to help them distinguish between right and wrong.
    All in all, to understand the world is essential for secondary school students, which can be through learning about international news, which, therefore, is not a waste of time. The time of adolescence is valuable, so it should be spent with informed guidance.
