another Writing Skills TOEFL Test
It has been said, " Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contract knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Knowledge became the world’s most important resource over the last thousand years. And there are many different ways to gain knowledge. But if we start to learn reading, writing and arithmetic at school we realize that we cannot take advantage of the theory without combining it with practical exercises. The further our education advances the more we have to practise everything. (That is the reason, why I consider knowledge gained from experience more important.) (Diesen Satz in Klammern nach unten verschoben)
My personal experience as a student in veterinarian science was nothing but sitting at home and learning from books, making notes and studying the same complicated points over and over. And to my shame I forgot the bulk of the learned information after the test. I felt myself as though I had too much to learn in a too fast pace. Often the next test was waiting and I started the same game with another topic, though.
The change was formidable as our / my internship(s) started and we / I had to work with the learned / acquired information. Despite the pressure that did not make it possible to relax I enjoyed it because I have not forgotten my learning skills any more as always happened when I received purely theoretical education. That is the reason, why I consider knowledge gained from experience more important.
In my opinion, one of the most important factors is that practice often brings so much feelings and actions that you do not have any time to be bored and although there is hardly any leisure time left you just enjoy going through it.
The experience of other people that I have learned from books and talking about shows the same point. Nobody can become an engineer, a nurse, a teacher, a doctor, a president and so forth, just by reading books. But you can achieve all those goals if you are eager and keen to learn from people and their experiences.
I do not want to say that books are not important in learning. Books are teaching us and since there are devices to print / printer, knowledge soon diffused in every part of the world / soon spread across the globe. It is not even possible to imagine what the world would have been like before there were any books. But there was an age for approximately 5000 years when people learned without written help by internet tools. It is one of the proofs that the most important part of our learning process takes place during work and practising among people.
PS: Jetzt war ich verwirrt, da meine frühere Version verschwunden war und ich dachte, dass etwas nicht richtig funktierte. Erst jetzt bemerkt ich, dass es eine zweite Seite gibt. Nun, diese Version ist besser.
