thanks kitos for your help a lot,I hope I become better than previous ones

It should be admitted that books play a significant role in learning. Books contain information about a wide variety of subjects. However, it should be wrong to assume that people can learn everything utilizing books, since people learn different information by means of diverse methods. Throughout history, people gain a large number of information from their experience which they can never find in any books.
On the one hand, there are numerous books in different fields of study around the world and new books are published every day. People can learn a lot using them, especially in the fields which they don’t access to reality. To illustrate, consider an individual who tries to become historian. He should know about different historic places, but it is obvious that it is difficult, if not possible, for him to go around the world and see all of them. As a consequence, he can gain enough knowledge making use of diverse books. Secondly, it is not profitable for the scientists to do all the experiments themselves, because they waste their time. It’s better for them to use other experiment’s results, and try to complete them. This comes with the help of different books.
On the other hand, there is a wide range of information which no one can learn from books. As an example, no one can be a good driver with reading books. He should be trained practically to handle the obstacles that he is expected to encounter as a driver. Additionally, it is better to be mentioned that when a person learn with his own experience, it sticks in his mind, and he never forgets it in the course of time. To illustrate, consider a medical student who read different books during his study, but he didn’t use them feasibly. As a result, he can’t cure people now. If he had done some works practically in the past, he would have cured his patients.
In conclusion, no one can learn everything just from books or experience, but I hold the view that people can learn better from their experience, and knowledge gained from experience are more important.

It should be admitted that books play a significant role in learning. Books contain information about a wide variety of subjects. However, it should be wrong to assume that people can learn everything utilizing books, since people learn different information by means of diverse methods. Throughout history, people gainED a large AMOUNT of information from their experience which they COULD never HAVE FOUND in any books.
On the one hand, there are numerous books in different fields of study around the world(,) and new books are published every day. People can learn a lot BY using them, especially in the fields IN which they don’t access to reality. To illustrate, consider an individual who tries to become AN historian. He should know about different historicAL places, but it is obvious that it is difficult, if not possible, for him to go around the world and see all of them. As a consequence, he can gain enough knowledge making use of diverse books.

Secondly, it is not profitable for the scientists to do all the experiments themselves, because they waste their time. It’s better for them to use other experiment’s results, and try to IMPROVE them. This comes with the help of different books.
On the other hand, there is a wide range of information which no one can learn from books. As an example, no one can be a good driver SIMPLY BY reading books. He should be trained practically to handle the obstacles that he is expected to encounter as a driver. Additionally, it is better to be mentioned that when a person learnS FROM his own experience, it sticks in his mind, and he never forgets it OVER the course of time. To illustrate, consider a medical student who read different books during his studIES, but he didn’t use them PRACTICALLY. As a result, he can’t cure people now. If he had done some works practically in the past, he would PROBABLY have BEEN ABLE TO cure his patients.

In conclusion, no one can learn everything just from books or experience, but I hold the view that people can learn better from their experience, and knowledge gained from experience IS FAR more important.
