考研英语作文：书本知识和经验
Knowledge gained from experience and that from books are the two major sources where people’s knowledge come from. When asked about which source is more important, the majority may choose experience. Others, however, like me, would like to vote for books, from which gaining knowledge is more efficient, widely-covered and systematic.
No one can deny the fact that acquiring knowledge from books is far more efficient than that from experience. In the time of information explosion ， efficiency is of vital importance and everyone wants to get more information in less time. By books, we can understand a principle in a single day which may have taken the experts several years to discover。 we can quickly go through the thousand-year-history in several hours, and we can learn about a foreign country without having been there for a minute.
Furthermore, books has another conspicuous benefit, that is its universality 。Human’s life is finite, too short to experience everything in this world. Often there are things that ordinary people cannot experience in their lives. But by reading books, which cover almost every field in this world, can provide what they want to know. For example, only few people can set foot on the moon, but we can also know the details about the moon by reading relevant books.
In addition, knowledge gained from books is more systematic. The knowledge which comes from experience is concrete, specific but often scrap 。while knowledge acquired from books is more systematic and can give an abstract overview.
While it is true that in learning practical activities such as swimming, experience plays a more important role, I think that gaining knowledge from books weighs more because nowadays, we need to know things more quickly, widely, and systematically.
