14. Knowledge is the key of success. Everybody has his own way to learn. Some people learn by reading. In my opinion, experience is better than books because I like to feel things and experiences are easier for me to learn from. • To begin with, learning through life experiences are useful more than books because I’m able to see, hear and do things by myself. When I read a book, I learn information about other countries without seeing them. That is no fun for me and once I close the book I forgot what I read. When travelling to a foreign country, I can understand the behavior of the people there as well as understanding their language by communication. • Secondly experiences are rarely forgotten. There is no doubt that meeting new people and friends is a credit . I addition to that, customs, traditions and even the history of the country can be easily known by visiting museums. • To sum up, it is important to keep gaining knowledge from both books and experience. However, I think knowledge gained from life experience is easier and funnier. A Report Writing Task Thanaa Arafat alyarmouk Sec. school
