Are books more important that experience?
Knowledge is gained from two sources: books and experiences. Books are like a guiding light in one’s pursuit of knowledge. However, I strongly believe that the information though the experience is likely to retained in our memory for a long period of time and in the rest of my essay I will describe the key features of experiences which I think much more important than the books.
First of all, a certain experience provides essential knowledge that nothing else can do. Suppose you want to learn driving and get a license for it. Through the books you can learn the basic rules and the main features of a car. However, without any practice you can not completely feel yourself confident during the test driving. On the contrary, a person who has practiced it can easily manage a vehicle on the road. Therefore, it is utter waste of time, if one just read the books and does not use them for practical purpose. So, knowledge is gained though the experiences come more essential than the books do.
In addition, the experience allows you to learn about the concept much more effectively and share its enjoyment. For example, you are a student of a science/physic/biology/botany class and so on. Knowledge from the books is the vital for building a foundation about a certain type of subject. However, you can not handle the possible problems just knowing from the books. That is why all theoretical classes are followed by practical session. In likely case, the students acquire the concept clearly and can find a possible solution when they confront a trouble. All in all, the notion “experience is the best teacher” is completely true.

However, I strongly believe that the information though the experience is likely to retained in our memory for a long period of time and in the rest of my essay I will describe the key features of experiences which I think much more important than the books.
First of all, a certain AMOUNT OF experience provides THE essential knowledge that nothing else can do. Suppose you want to learn driving and TO get a license for it. Through the books you can learn the basic rules and the main features of a car. However, without any practice you can not feel completely confident IN yourself during the test driving. On the contrary, a person who has practised it can easily manage a vehicle on the road. Therefore, it is A utter waste of time, if one just read the books and does not use them for practical purposeS. So,knowledge THAT is gained though the experiences BEcomeS more essential than the books do.
In addition, the experience allows you to learn about the concept much more effectively and share its enjoyment. For example, IF you are a student of a science/physic/biology/botany class and so on. Knowledge from the books is the vital for building a foundation about a certain type of subject. However, you can not handle the possible problems just /knowing/BY READING/ from the books. That is why all theoretical classes are followed by A practical session. In likely caseS, the students acquire the concept clearly and can find a possible solution when they confront a /trouble/PROBLEM/. All in all, the notion “experience is the best teacher” is completely true. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are doing well Paranoid. You almost made a 10 there, but maybe next time eh! A few small errors which would have revealed themselves had you reviewed your work more closely.

It never will unless you review your errors. The whole point of submitting your work for editing is to learn from your mistakes.
