Writing Feedback / experience vs. taking advice [2]

Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. Compare the advantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference.

The people's belief that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of their family or friends or through personal experience may depend on their personality. I think that how much conservative an individual is, his preference is relied on other's experience. Both choices have different advantages which influence people's life in different ways. I personally prefer to learn from my own experience.

First, since people react differently in different situations, I may do better than other's experience. We are different in our personality, attitude, abilities and so on. So, it's less likely to handle a problem in the same way. For example, my friend advised me not to choose electrical engineering major because the possibility of finding a job for women in this major is small. I didn't take her advice, and now I have a good position in a major company related to this major because my knowledge was comparable with my man colleagues. And so, I could grab a position.

Second, the failure is a bridge toward the success. We shouldn't be frustrated with a bad experience as we learn a lot from our mistakes, and are changed to a stronger and experienced one. We should apply our new experience to the next situations, which can guarantee our success. For example, in the past I had failed in some my relationships, but what I do was that I used my knowledge about people's behavior and personality, and was able to choose a great one as a husband.

Finally, I believe that we should take an opportunity to ourselves to experience different things instead of sticking to other's experience. Otherwise, it may cause a big regret in our life. We may every day imagine that if we had done that, I would have been in a better situation now than am I. Moreover, maybe an experience lead to a mental or physical hurt once, but in the future it is a great memory which we enjoy recalling it instead of regretting not doing it.

In conclusion, experiencing by own let us exploit our opportunities, makes us more experienced, and more independent.

Writing Feedback / Studying at traditional schools, an individual can gain social skills as well as science information [4]

In the future, students may have the choice of studying at home by using technology such as computers or TV or of studying at traditional schools. Which would you prefer?

By the rapid advancement of technology, probably the choice of studying at home by using technology or of studying at traditional schools will be a big challenge for the families in the future. Since both of choices have different advantageous or disadvantageous, people may opt for one of them based on their priorities. In my opinion, the benefits of studying at traditional schools outweigh studying at home individually.

First, I believe that by studying at traditional schools, an individual can gain social skills as well as science information. He interacts with his peers, and makes new friends. He can obtain new experience through his relationships and get well-prepared for his future life in the society or workplace. While by studying at home, he doesn't have the chance of communicating with other students in the school.

Second, in my point of view, one of the best advantageous of studying at school is being in a competition atmosphere, which means more motivation for the students. By studying at home, you cannot see the other students' abilities, and you cannot compare yourself with others. Therefore, you are not able to evaluate your studying quality well. For example, when I was studying for the entrance exam of the university lonely at home, I did not strive very much because I thought my current knowledge was enough for the exam, and other students were in my level too. Consequently, I failed that exam, but for the second try, I participated in the preparing class, which was very effective for me because I could observe other's attempts, and found motivation to compete with them. Finally, I pull it off.

Last, studying at home moves you to a sedentary life which will threat your mentally health as well as physical one. You have to study at least five hours in a day in front of computers or television while you sit on your chair. You change to a machine just studying without any playing, running or walking. By This life style, you may get overweigh, or lose your vitality in the life.

In the conclusion, technology is not always a key to success and improvement. We, as a human, need something over it to expand our knowledge and spirit parallelly. That's why I prefer studying at traditional school rather than at home by technology.
