Well,
my honorable judges, dear fellow debaters, after your conclusion, I can get
your point. Firstly, you said education is learning experience of our
predecessors. Second, you said the more education you have, the more likely you
will succeed. And last, you said the more education you have, the better you
will appreciate our life. Yes, we agree that. But all the evidences you
presented are not adequate to prove that why education is more important than
work experience. We believe that work experience is more important than
education. First
of all, you need experience to get a job, and you need a job to get experience.
Both education and experience are very important in finding a job, but
experience is what the majority of employers want. Just observe many of the job
or career ads; you can see that they all emphasize 3 to 4 years experience in
the particular field. Also, most 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 higher
education you have, the more likely you will succeed. Success is a
complicated integration. Education is only one of the factors. Lots of facts
have been proved that one can be succeed in many ways. Second,
education does not prepare you for real-world challenges. Even though you can
get high grades in paper exams, 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. Last
but not the least; education will finally end in one's life .Ironically the
work experience would never end as long as one is willing to work. Every one
needs to work, that is the most significant thing in our life. We get
experience by doing things, and it's those experience that get you ahead
faster. We don’t think higher education. We don’t think the more education you
have, the better you will appreciate our life. Life is just like a box of
chocolate, you don’t know what you are going to get. Every one has his own way
to make life meaningful, and every one has his own way to appreciate his life,
we can whose is better, whose is not. So
we conclude that work experience is more important than education. TOPIC - Our side - Education is more important than
experience The Statement of Final Conclusion from the
forth debater: 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 exploid(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 gareente(guarantee0 for
hunting jods. 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. |
