Knowledge or Experience

　　Which is more important in life,knowledge from the books you read,or personal experience you gain in reality? The answer may vary from person to person. The young,educated may emphasize the former, and the old may stress the later. But in my opinion,they are of the same importance.

　　Experience is priceless. How to become an efficient secretary? How to prepare for your first child to come into the world? There is so much experience we need in careers,in life and even in academic studies. It helps one deal with the problems with ease and confidence. Especially activities and to accumulate experience of different kinds is more crucial.

　　Experience,however,is limited in terms of time and space. For one thing, it is impossible for anyone to experience all the important events and meet all the famous people. For another, as the speed with which skills are obsolete and new problems crop up is unprecedented because of the fast development of society,experience is far less adequate. Depending too much on it only leads to narrow-mindedness and prejudice.

　　One way to compensate for it is to read books. Books of various kinds can bring us almost unlimited additional experience. From books you can not only trace back to the wisdom of our antecedents,but keep up with the latest developments of science and technology. To be sure， it's secondhand experience. But it is the ideal supplement to our own limited experience. Few of us can travel around the world, or live long beyond one hundred years,but all of us can live many lives by reading books.

　　Both book knowledge and personal experience are essential. While experience makes one more resourceful, book knowledge makes one more learned.

　　英语学习方法推荐：

　　快速跳读的能力

　　掌握了这个能力，就能为你节约大量的宝贵时间，为取得高分提供有力保证。

　　①关于词汇的跳读。

　　一般情况是先通过一个单词确定一个方向，根据这个方向，确定这个单词是往上读还是往下读;

　　在阅读长难句时，要把断点在恰当的位置断开，即在此层意思完，下层意思未开始前断;

　　看到动词时，想此动词之发起者是谁，发起者要明确;

　　看到代词就想它指的是什么;

　　如果遇到不认识的单词，如果是动词、形容词，可根据上下文猜，如是名词则不要。

　　②对于段落而言，要先分清观点句、论证句和例证句。论证句是句子开头几个词同前面有关系的句子;而例证句则是时间、地点、人物、事件比较全的句子;观点句则是去掉上述两种之外的句子。

　　③对于篇章而言。要先分清篇章是什么类型的，是议论文、记叙文还是说明文。

　　议论文，只要判断出reason句和result句即可。Reason句是从不同角度论述观点正确性的句子，一般出现在前半部分。如果文章开头的几个词让你感觉与上面的句子有联系，这个词一般情况下就是reason句。表示关系的词一般有：they/such/this/these/also/further more等等。

　　记叙文，先要明确四大要素，即时间、地点、人物、事件，明确了这四要素，整个文章脉络基本就清晰了。然后还要注意一些句子是肯定要跳读的，有些是一定要细读的。具体如下：

　　作为文章背景铺垫的句子可以不读;

　　详述某些细节的句子可以不看;

　　注意一下文章中的起承转合词，比如表方向、时间顺序的词汇等。
