Topic: Which is more important, knowledge from books or experiences from life?We gain our knowledge about the world and our life from two sources: from experience and frombooks. These two resources are both important, but which of them is more important?Knowledge from books forms a very important part of our knowledge structure. In schools andcolleges, we learn knowledge which is fundamental to our future career. We learn knowledge from booksin order to make our contributions to this society in the future. A student learns mathematic equations andother scientific knowledge and become a scientist or engineer. We will be illiterate and ignorant withoutlearning knowledge from books. Moreover, we acquire knowledge about life and the world by readingbooks, magazines and newspapers. This is also very important as we cannot experience everything all byourselves. Therefore books are a very important source of knowledge.On the other hand, we can't learn everything from a book. “Experience is the best teacher” is anold cliché, but I agree with it. The most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life comefrom our participation in situations. We learn how to get along with others or how to have self-respectfrom our experience, not from books. We cannot learn emotional feelings, such as love and care, throughbooks; they come from our real life experience. Knowledge from experience is also a very importantsupplement to knowledge from books.Needless to say both learning sources, books and experience, are very important to us. But in myopinion knowledge from experience is more important, because without knowledge from experience, it isimpossible to get a real understanding of knowledge from books, and how to apply this knowledge to realworld situations.--- THE END ---
