工作经验比教育更重要

英文辩论赛：Work Experience is More Important than Education

Good morning everyone, the opinion of our side is experience is more important than education. As we know, both education and experience are very important in finding a job, however,it seems that experience is what the majority of employers want. We can observe on the job fair, the most companies emphasize 3 to 4 years experience in the particular field. It means employers prefer experience over education. The only time the employers look at education is only in the filed of education, nothing else. We all learn by doing things. We don’t think the higher education you have, the more likely you will succeed. At the same time, education does not prepare you for real-world challenges. You may get high grades in paper exams.however,those numbers can not make you living better in real life. How many high-mark students do not know how to cook, millions? billions? I don't know. But I know such numbers is million, even billion times of those grades. Higher education is absolutely not the guarantee of high ability, not to mention high pay. We don’t think higher education means high pay; we just know the fact that the more education you have, the more bills you will pay.

Conclusion :

From the statements above, I still stick to our point that education is more important than experience.

At the very beginning, I want to repeat our reasons to emphasis. First, education gives people more advantages in job-hunting. If a person receives school education while he or she can do have work experience and combine the theory which they obtained with their practical work, I think they'll succeed. If we just only receive experience but not put it over education, I think it will be hard for us to adapt ourselves and survive in this rapid changing world. Second, education promotes personal quality especially for morality. Third, education promotes the development of society. Francis Bacon once said that knowledge is the primary productive force. Forth, the government spends a lot on supporting the education system for us to get better education.

Then, I want to introduce the procedures of the education to show our right point in 3 inspects. The first inspect is the purpose of education. Why should we go to school for education for so many years? From the

decades of year's learning, we have to say that we gather large numbers of knowledge to avoid wasting our limited life time and going the wrong way. The second inspect is the process of education. Taking our Integrated English Course as a example .From this course, we learn a lot about the arts, the lifestyle, the colorful lives all around the world. Meanwhile, we also take the debate competition and get the experience. The third inspect is the product of education. After graduating from the college, we get the certificates to show our ability and it is also a guarantee for hunting jobs.

At last, we can't deny the importance of experience but you can't deny that education is more important than experience! A good education gives you excellent critical thinking, a bad education takes your time away without giving anything back. While being fully experienced can definitely make you shine!

In general, knowledge gain from book has a wide range than that gained from experience, We now live in a world that typophile is no longer exorbitant, and that printed matters are readily available. In libralies, we can learn nearly everything only if we have already acquired basic reading skills, philosophy, history, literature, physics, mathmatics, chemicals, biology,geography, anthropology, and the list will go on. Unlike the experience of an individual that is limited by the range of that individual, books seem to have almost no lamitation. Sitting in the local library, we virtually can travel everywhere through an interesting geographic encyclopedia, and certainly. with nearly no expense at all.

On the other hand, it can be argued that sometimes knowledge gained from experience much deeper and more comprehensive than that gained from books. It is quite true that not everything is contained in books. How to deal with personal finance, how to cope with current social trends, even how to most effectively organize our own mind, and numerous other things can seldom be found thoroughly and comprehensively doscussed in books, we have to gain the knowledge by our own experience. And the sad news is that even some knowledge that is contained in books usually needs further comprehension, mainly through experience.

As to which source is more important, the answer wary. Some knowledge can be acquired only through books. It's hard to imagine we can have a good understanding of history without reading books. On the other hand, some knowledge can be obtained only through experience. For instanse, when we try to learn to swim, merely detailed manual of swimming skills, even abundantly filled with illustrations is at most useless. We have to jump into the water and gain the knowledge with experience. We have to use books and experience as source simultaneously to get what we want to know. Take learning physics for example, both books and experience are equally significance sources, and of course, example of such are numerous. Therefore, I think whether one source is more important than other depends on circumstance

Now we are living in a dazzling world where knowledge is accumulating at an astonishing speed. However, among the numerous means of gaining knowledge, books and experiences are the most effective and normal. As to which is more important,I hold the view that it depends on the circumstances.

To begin with, knowledge from books has a wider range than that from experience. For printed materials are not exorbitant any more, as long as people acquire the skill of reading, the books cover all kinds then open its door to the knowledge hunters. Philosophy, chemistry, mathematics, politics, so on so forth. But experiences only limited in the certain field of individuals. In addition, some particular knowledge can be only acquired from books. It is hard to imagine history learners can master their study well without reading books.

On the other hand, knowledge gained from experience is considered to be deeper and more comprehensive. It is quite true that we can not learn all sorts of things from book. For example, how to deal with relationships with people around, how to cope with personal finance, how to control your own mind, and numerous other things like that. Moreover, even some knowledge contained in books will need further comprehension, which is mainly through experience. Not until a swimming learner jump into the water will he gain the skill. Despite the abundance books with exact illustration books he reads. Especially for college students, when they are becoming senior students, they may be required to leave the ivory tower and step into the society to do some internship related to their major. That's why experience is playing a vital position in the process of learning.

In general, knowledge gained from books and that from experience should go hand in hand in order to reach the perfect outcome. Sometime, book knowledge is the fundament. For instance, a students majored in physics should have a solid knowledge background first which is gained from the books, and do some research and experiment in the lab so as to gain further understanding, which are from the experience.

To sum up, both sources are equally important, whether one source means more depends on the different circumstance.

Of all the knowledge we have, some comes from the books we read, some comes from personal experience in our lives. Different people attach different importance to different sources. The young and the educated, for example, may emphasize the former, the old may, however stress the latter. In my opinion, both book knowledge and personal experience are of equal importance.

Knowledge gained from experience may be firsthand, direct, and unforgettable. Books in the library may be outdated, giving you useless information. Everything is changing and so is knowledge. If you go out to make on the-spot investigations instead of depending on books, it is likely that you may be pleasantly surprised. Moreover, knowledge you get from your own experience will be everlasting. Therefore, it is important that students get involved in practical activities to accumulate different kinds of experience.

Experience, however, is limited in terms of time and space. It is impossible for anyone to experience everything to get the knowledge he needs. In addition, society is developing so fast that new problems come up with surprising speed. Over depending on experience could, therefore, make a person narrow minded and prejudiced.

Books are a summary of the wisdom of our ancestors. The best way to gain know ledge is, of course, to read books, and in the meantime, participate in various kinds of practicaL activities. A combination of the two will sure[y make us full and well informed.
