It has been said, "Not all learning takes place in the classroom." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from personal experience with knowledge gained from classroom instruction. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?

Learning is a process of acquiring

knowledge

to improve ourselves.

However

, learning takes place not only in school, but

also

in our real life. In my perspective,

although

both learning in class and learning through

experience

have their own advantages and disadvantages,

knowledge

gained from our own

experience

is more important.

To begin

with, personal experiences prepare us to deal with real life situation. We can not only participate in classrooms, memorize books and expect that we can become an expert on a major.

School

Suggestion

The school

does not teach us how to deal with some real situations.

Therefore

, some people easily get confused when facing with those situations. The young do not realise about the value of food, money and relationship. They just know about money value when they start earning of money, suffer from hunger or try to get well

in

a relationship. Or in order to

be

a good teacher, reading books is not enough. We need to spend some of our educational period in schools.

Furthermore

,

the knowledge

and failure, which we acquire by fixing the problems step by step. We all know that it is very hard to achieve and needs perseverance, hard working and it results gradually. In

this

kind of learning, people fail many times. Like scientists, they have to spend a lot of time in the laboratory, do many experiments to invent something.

For instance

, Thomas Alva Edison tried and failed thousands times when he was inventing vacuum bulb, automatic telegraph, phonograph, etc. Or another example is Marie Curie, who succeeded in extracting Radium from raw materials, but it took several years to become successful.

Nevertheless

, we all have limited understanding in our lives. If we only rely on

experience

to learn, we will hardly learn and cannot succeed. Learning from books, from schools helps us compare learning to

experience

, so we can better understand our

experience

. If we think about the

experience

and prospects of others, we can prevent our own view from being too rigid. To wrap up, to be truly knowledgeable, we must gain

knowledge

from both real life and school instruction.

Moreover

, We need to apply our

knowledge

by practicing more and more in real situations.
