▶ Your Answer :
There are different opinions among people regarding whether reading a book or listening to others provides the best way when people try to earn knowledge about something. Although it is true that both encourage people to have secondhand experiences that they can hardly have, I believe that people should focus on direct experiences in the real world. In this essay, I will present two reasons to support my idea.
To begin with, no one can refute the fact that it is quite difficult for people to see everything about one subject by hearing and reading. Specifically, even though some people have gained a lot of experiences and a wide range of knowledge, they cannot send their information to others vividly. In addition, people who read a book in order to know how people of America live these days cannot know more information than counterparts who have visited America and seen American people live. For example, I was very shocked when I watched the soccer game in Spain because whole experiences that I had there are considerably different from what I had though before. This is because most information that I had was from other people’s talks or concerned books. In this regard, there is no better one than real experience when people want to learn about something.
On top of that, some knowledge is required for people who want learn it to see how it works out in the real world. To verify this, people never know how to hit the ball with a baseball bat with baseball books. If one wants make a homerun in his baseball game, he must close the book he reads and go to play ground with a baseball bat. This is because this sort of exercise is able to be learned by adapting their body to specific behavior. It can be also applied to the science sector. It is significantly important for students who study science through only books or their teachers to see how the theory really works in the lab. According to the survey conducted by the Ministry of Education, there is an evident result that shows how important the experiment class for students. A vast majority of student said that they can understand some difficult scientific theories when they did experiment about them by their own.
To sum up, not only do people barely understand whole aspects of what they learn through books or other people but also people can study the subjects more effectively by experience them directly. In conclusion, it is better for people to try to have firsthand experiences in order to gain a wide range of knowledge.
