TOEFL® essay: Not everything that is learned is contained in books...

[Ramiro]

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?

There are many sources of knowledge, from books, to the internet and the experience living a in the world.

In the next paragraphs I will explain why the knowledge gained from experience is more important than gained from books.

Like the topics says, there is not doubt about not everything that is learned is contained in books.
