Claim: Knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decisions today.
Reason: We are not able to make connections between current events and past events until we have some distance from both.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
The present is incumbent on the past. The past of an individual has significant influence on the decisions we make today. Though in order to base the present judgement on the past, one has to determine certain connections between the events. Sometimes the connections take time to manifest yet most of the times the connections are easily deduced. Perhaps even subconsciously. Hence i agree that the past can assist people in making important decisions today.

Everything looks good, but
Everything looks good, but you could have used more concrete exaple in first paragraph, as you did for 2nd para, anyway overall doesn't matter
In 3rd para use of word Adepts appears out of context, apepts is skilful, expert ie an adjective or noun. but the way you used is as verb
