Sample essay on the correlation between learning and practice
Expressing personal views on the principle of Learning by Doing, sample 1:
In today's society, every individual aspiring to be skilled and contribute to the community needs to equip themselves with various skills. To achieve this, each person must be conscious about learning new things and seek proper learning methods. Among these methods, 'learning goes hand in hand with practice' stands out as one of the most effective. Learning and practicing are like two siblings, always standing shoulder to shoulder, supporting each other to achieve the best results.
First and foremost, it's essential to understand the concepts clearly. Learning is not just about absorbing knowledge that has been summarized from experience, practicality, and principles. There are many ways for us to learn, from teachers, friends, books, and especially from real-life experiences. Learning helps us enhance our understanding, gain self-control, and discover our life's purpose. On the other hand, 'practice' refers to direct actions, applying the knowledge we have learned into practical situations. Learning and practicing are interconnected, complementing each other, to achieve the highest 'productivity'.
The motto 'learning goes hand in hand with practice' is entirely correct. Both of these actions are crucial. Since ancient times, our ancestors have emphasized the importance of learning because through learning, we can discern right from wrong, good from bad, which helps us behave appropriately in daily interactions as well as in work to achieve high efficiency. However, learning alone is not enough; it's just empty theory if we don't put it into practice. For example, if we study about transformers, only learning their components and how they work from books cannot fully explain their practical operations. Conversely, practicing without learning is very difficult. If we start doing something without knowing where to begin, whether it's right or wrong, it will be challenging and time-consuming, unable to achieve high productivity and efficiency in work. Therefore, learning must go hand in hand with practice.
From the educational environment within schools to real-life situations in society, learning and practicing must always go together. Learn the good things, good manners, and apply them correctly in reality. It's regrettable that nowadays, many students are taught good words and ideas in school, but when they step into society, they behave rudely, using vulgar language. So, the crucial thing is to apply theory into practice correctly. Like simply learning a foreign language, if you just sit there studying grammar books, you'll never be proficient in speaking English; you have to go out and converse in that language, practice pronunciation. It can be said that Uncle Ho is a shining example for us regarding this method. He was able to speak many languages fluently thanks to diligent learning and practicing by speaking and writing.
As students still sitting in classroom seats, each of us needs to be aware of how to study to achieve the highest results without boredom. Always be proactive, creative in learning methods to absorb lessons better and remember them.
Learning goes hand in hand with practice holds practical significance across all professions, all sectors of society. In today's modern age of development, the 'learning goes hand in hand with practice' method is the simplest path to achieve what we desire, contributing a small part of ourselves to the country and society.
The essay 'Argument: Learning Goes Hand in Hand with Practice' helps me express my opinion on this issue.
2. Argument: Learning Goes Hand in Hand with Practice, sample number 2:
Chairman Ho Chi Minh, a great leader, once clearly pointed out that to train individuals who are both talented and virtuous for the country, there is no more effective way than the motto 'Learning goes hand in hand with practice'. He also emphasized: 'Learning and practice must go hand in hand. Learning without practice is useless. Practice without learning is aimless'. I believe that this motto and viewpoint are both timely and particularly suitable for the Vietnamese education system, where we overly emphasize theory and underestimate practice.
Learning is a process of acquiring knowledge actively from various sources such as books, mentors, friends, parents,... This knowledge is not only the theories found in textbooks but also the cultural and ethical values of society. Humans learn to enrich their intellect, develop and perfect themselves to contribute to society and the country. Parallel to the learning process is the 'practice' process, simply understood as the process of applying theory into practice, concrete actions with purpose, to test, confirm, and produce results from the theories learned. For example, when you read a cookbook and you have to cook to check if the cookbook really helps you cook better, the dish you make is the result achieved after combining learning and practice. Practice is not a one-time process but a repetitive process until mastery, only then is theory truly successfully applied into practice. The dish you just learned, the first time you cook it may be too salty, the next time it may be too bland, but by the tenth time, it must be just right, if not, then surely your taste buds have an issue.
Regarding the motto 'Learning must go hand in hand with practice', it is a correct motto in all learning endeavors. We should not refute that in the feudal era, scholars only needed to memorize a few dozen classics to pass the imperial exams and gain fame for a time. Now, in the 21st century, humans must encompass both virtue and talent, especially in the current era of integration, we need groundbreaking steps, shortcuts to shorten the gap of being behind by a hundred years. Therefore, there is no other way but for learning and practice to go hand in hand, we learn while doing, correcting mistakes along the way to shorten the verification time, to quickly create outstanding achievements. Isn't it so that in universities, colleges, or vocational schools, they often arrange theoretical and practical learning simultaneously? Medical students in the morning study the theory of blood groups, in the afternoon they step into the laboratory to draw their own blood for experiments right away. Indeed, it must be so for long-lasting memory, thorough understanding. Or like Debra Luffer said: 'Some ideas may forever remain on paper, but other ideas always have a straight path into vials, into pharmacy fields'. So where is the difference, when all ideas have an equal chance, it's in human practice, success or failure lies only in one action, whether it is done well or not. Taking another example, a musician knows very well the technique of plucking strings, but has never touched the strings, then that is not a true musician because they do not create soothing music for life. Similarly, you study English every day but never dare to talk to a foreigner or simply avoid speaking exercises. That shows that your theories are dead, only through practice do they gain life to exist and develop. However, today there is a considerable part of people learning in a coping style, studying just to pass exams, then collecting past exam papers when the exam comes, or some people memorize the entire book, while just asking a question makes them struggle and panic because they cannot explain. That is a dangerous parrot-like learning habit, extremely harmful, and in the future, the country will only have bookworms, lazy minds, lazy actions, brains with the sole task of memorizing and nothing more. Not to mention some people study just for promotion, not for knowledge improvement, so there are scenes of 50 thousand, 30 thousand for a tutoring session. Yet, soon one thinks that the person tutoring spends a few hours earning a few tens of thousands, while the person being tutored doesn't even need to learn or practice at all. Oh, when did learning become so strange!
