It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?

All knowledge may be categorized in two types: theoretical and practical. Theoretical knowledge can be acquired from books, while you get(?) practical one only from experience. Although both types are important, I believe that experience is vital, whereas knowledge from books is just useful.

Firstly, there are plenty things that you will never learn to do until you try. Let’s take swimming as an example, no matter how many books you’ve read about swimming, you never can’t swim without moving your hands and legs in water. Almost all basic activities – walking, talking, riding bicycle, driving car – to name but a few - can’t be learnt from books.

Secondly, knowledge from experience remains in your memory longer than if you learn the same thing by reading it on a book. It is always more effective to prove mathematical formula by yourself than read it from a textbook. You will never speak a foreign language if you only learn plenty of rules by heart, but don’t try to speak. I believe that all knowledge acquired from books should be supported by practice.

Despite the great importance of theoretical knowledge, almost all vital professions extremely rely on experience. It’s unimaginable that inexperienced doctor completes a difficult operation, even if he had read tons of books about medicine. The same thing can be said about firemen, they train a lot in order to save people’s life and it is impossible to replace their trainings by theoretical lessons.

Finally, I would prefer to say “only something that is learned is contained in book”. Although books are a precious resource for improving our knowledge as there are things that we learn through the books we could never learn in other ways, all the educational (познавательные?) books were written by someone who had got his experience from the real life.

It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast

knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which

source is more important? Why?

All knowledge can be categorized into two types: theoretical and practical. Theoretical knowledge can be

acquired from books, while you obtain practical one solely from experience. Although both types are

important, I believe that experience is vital, whereas knowledge from books is merely useful.

Firstly, there are plenty of things that you will never learn to do until you make an attempt and actually do

them. Let’s take swimming as an example. Knowledgeable as you might be about swimming, you will

fail to swim without having had enough practice moving your hands and legs in water. Virtually all basic

activities such as walking, talking, riding a bicycle, driving a car – to name but a few – definitely can’t be

learnt from books.

Secondly, knowledge from experience is retained considerably longer than if you learn the same thing by

reading about it in a book. It is always more effective to prove a mathematical formula by yourself than

read about it in a textbook. You will never speak a foreign language unless you support learning rules by

plenty of practice. I believe that all knowledge acquired from books should be reinforced by practical

application of it.

Despite the fact that theoretical knowledge is of utmost importance, almost all vital professions rely

heavily on experience. It’s unimaginable that an inexperienced doctor completes a challenging operation,

even if he has read tons of books about medicine. The same is true about firemen: they train a lot in order

to save people’s lives and it is impossible to replace their drills by theoretical lessons.

In a nutshell, I would prefer to say that “only something that is learned is contained in a book”. Yes it is

very true that books are a precious resource for improving our knowledge as there are things that we can

learn in no other way. Nevertheless, all educational books were written by someone who had got

invaluable experience from the real life.
