<< When trying to acquire something, we never fail to learn it from both actual experience and textbook about what we want to learn. Since experience and book are useful methods for us to acquire knowledge, skills and so on. both are important in each way. In short, we can learn other kind of things from each method and therefore I think we cannot decide which is more important. Knowledge from reading materials is usually useful for us to predict something important and to reduce the troublesome situation involve us. Books are treasury of advice and others experience. Therefore, by knowing these useful contents we can predict what we should do next or how to do things efficiently. Moreover, before our own actual experience, in short time these reading materials help us acquire numerous knowledge about secret key to deal with problems. Thus, with the comprehensive knowledge from books, we will be able to deal with some troubles without trial and error. Despite the remarkable learning effect that textbooks have, we still need to acquire knowledge through our own experiences. It is becuase experiences named practice is essential to acquire some skills and it also reinforces the knowledge from books in my body and mind. There are actually certain kinds of skills demanding us repeating practice, techniques of playing the musical instrument, sports activities, and craftsmenfs techniques, acquiring language. These techniques I guess from my own experiences, are too complicated for us to be do perfectly at first trial. Even if we know some situation from knowledge, without practical experiences, we might be confused and forget the precious knowledge. As for consider a topic, accumulated experiences is very useful. It is because provisos experiences give researchers crucial idea about where we should look for materials for the topic or provide us with clear imagination about the topic. In this way, books present us large amount of knowledge to predict something and minimize the future trouble. Experience on the other hand, helps our knowledge to be retained well and to be applyed to more advanced things. It also makes us be used to doing things which improves our skills. With these consideration of both method of acquisition, I would like to conclude that both books and experience are essential for us to improve our skills and increase our knowledge. |
