Some people believe subjects with practical applications are better, however, others think subjects that are theoretical are better. Discuss both views

Many consider that studying in practice is more effective than in theory. On the other ,hand a lot of students say that using theory is more sufficient. In my point of view exercising what you learn has a better effect because you get to use your knowledge right away. I think theoretical knowledge is important, of course, but some individuals like myself cannot memorise texts as well as they can study told to them "by hand". Several years ago I took a course for becoming a hairdresser and when it came to books I thought I would never be able to understand how to do even a basic haircut, not even talking about difficult steps like dying hair, where you get to use chemistry and different formulas. But as soon as we were done writing the theoretical part we started practice. My teacher basically were showing in practice how everything works, what engle should be used and how to hold the equipment properly. Why does someone's brain work that way I don't even know. But even preparing for my IELTS exam was the same for me, writing by hand and making a portion of examples were a lot more useful than just reading the preparation materials, which I could forget the

I would say that both ways of studying are very important, but it should always depend on what works better for an individual and what kind of learning the material gives a better result.
