考研英语作文题目：知识来源于书本?
    It has been said, “Not every thing 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?
    考研英语作文模板范文：
    “Experience is the best teacher” is an old cliché, but I agree with it. The
most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from
our participation in situations. You can’ learn everything from a book.
    Of course, learning from books in a formal educational setting is also
valuable. It’s in schools that we learn the information we need to function in
our society. We learn how to speak and write and understand mathematical
equations. This is all information that we need to live in our communities and
earn a living.
    Nevertheless, I think that the most important lessons can’t be taught; they
have to be experienced. No one can teach us how to get along with others or how
to have self-respect. As we grow from children into teenagers, no one can teach
us how to deal with peer pressure. As we leave adolescence behind and enter
adult life, no one can teach us how to fall in love and get married.
    This shouldn’t stop us from looking for guidelines along the way. Teachers
and parents are valuable sources of advice when we’re young. As we enter into
new stages in our lives, the advice we receive from them is very helpful because
they have already bad similar experiences. But experiencing our own triumphs and
disasters is really the only way to learn how to deal with life.
