Some people say that in school, having excellent (unneeded
adjective) knowledge of a field is the most important thing. They insist
that learning more and getting a better grade is the number one goal in school year. However I don't think (that) just getting more knowledge in a field is more
important than getting ability to adapt (to) changing
conditions for two reasons. First, by learning how to adapt (to) new circumstances, one can be prepared for the
future. Second, (in) many times(,) changing conditions can provide a better
environment to accept (learn) excellent knowledge for students.
Although we have been told about the
importance of getting a good grade in school, graduating high school with a
better grade is not the ultimate goal of a student. After graduating, one face(s) the real world, which is totally different from
the school they have spent their last ten years. In the real world, every day
is different; rather than just attending school every day and doing the works
provided from (given in) school, one has to find his own works to do. One will be facing new circumstances
every day, and if (the) only (thing) he has done during his school years was just
getting a good grade(,) it will be hard for him
to adjust in new environments. Many studies have shown that, surprisingly, the
students, who enjoyed adventures and learned how to adapt (to) changing conditions during their school years,
tend to (do) better in the real world
compared to those who just focused on getting more knowledge and nothing else.
Even if I highlighted the importance of
learning how to adapt (to) changing
circumstances, it is also important to learn good knowledge in a field. However(,) many people don't realize that how the skill to
adjust in a new condition can be a base
(basis) for getting good grade. Let me take my
experience as an example. I'm an exchange student;
I (who) came to America two years
ago. It was not an easy choice, and it changed everything; I had to adjust to eat new foods, live with new family(,) and study in new language. Of course(,) I didn't get good grades first time I came (test I
took) here. It was even hard(er) to
follow the classes. However(,) after I learned
how to accept (get myself used to) the new environment and adjust in (to) the condition, coming to (staying in)
America became a strong base (basis) for learning new knowledge and (planning) my future.
