※ 引述《ypyp (牙周病)》之銘言： : It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” : Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained : from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why? : While knowledge gained from experience and from books are both : indispensable, if I have to choose one, knowledge learned from experience : would come prior to that learned from books. Just like the Chinese idiom : tells: “It is better to travel far away than to study a lot of books.” The (says) : idiom expresses similar view point. There are several points can show us why ^that : experiences are valuable, and the limit of books can provide. ^more ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ ^what may be the limitations of books. : First of all, for me, only those I have applied or adapted to what I (only when I applied what I've learned in real life) : encountered can I say I really learned. Recall the education process, there (do) : were always examples to help explain one concept, and there must be questions : in different applications in exercises, homework or exams. The purpose of : those examples and questions here is to help students adopt the concept or : knowledge behind to real world easily. Examples and designed cases are the (in the) : first step for students to “experience” the knowledge in daily life, and : through it they can learn how to draw a conclusion from various things as (them) : well. In those years of study, it was found that by doing projects, I not (I realise that...) ^have : only corrected my misunderstanding, but also cleared some details of (fully understood) : knowledge taught on books. Thus, it shows experiences help people learn more : completely. : Second, some things simply cannot be expressed in words or be recorded : in the books. Everyone has his/her way to interpret the same things, and it : is hard to be expressed in words. For example, in spite of huge mount of : research and analysis, athletes can not become swifter or achieve perfect : movements by reading books. Books can provide a lot of tips, but only from : experience athletes can gain the vital, subtle comprehension. Another good ^can (cancel the can) ^and (no comma) : example is the originality. No book can teach people the originality. The (no the) (how to be creative) : best—and maybe the only—way to stimulate the originality is to try and to (no the) (no and) : experience everything. By the two examples above it shows that although books : can indeed record a lot of knowledge, they have limit for expressing or (limitations in expressing) : recording some important skills or character. : Finally, in most cases, knowledge learned from experience is much more : impressive to people. Answers which are found out by one’s own will be : remembered much longer than those are provided by others. Because of the (no are) : complete thinking process and the individual way of comprehension which suits (various ways of interpretation by individuals) : for one specifically, the knowledge can often keeps in mind longer, and is (no the) (be kept) : easier to be applied on different occasions. Thus, it is also a strong (situations) : support to the importance of experience. : According to the discussion of previous paragraphs, it can be concluded ('above' will do) : that knowledge gained from experience, because part of it enhances people to : thoroughly comprehend what they learn from book, and part of it can not be : acquired through other ways, plus that what learned from experience usually : last much longer, I would say that what gained from experience comes prior to : that gained from books. (Your last paragraph is made up of a sentence only, not really recommended) (For essay, one should always keep their sentences short to make your argument clearer) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 222.164.52.87
