问答题 Part B
Discussion: Which is more important: book knowledge or experience?
Interlocutor:
Now, Candidate A and Candidate B, I'd like you to compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. I'd like you to talk about book knowledge and experience, which source is more important? Here is a list of statements for your reference. If you hold different opinions you may argue and you may also add your own ideas that are not listed here. You just talk to each other and I won't join you. You have 5 minutes. All right, would you begin?
(Hand out the list to the candidates.)
· Book knowledge enables us to learn about that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life.
· Book knowledge that remains theoretical is useless unless it is applied to real experience.

【正确答案】Candidate A: In your opinion, which is more important? Book knowledge or experience?
Candidate B: Oh, it's hard to say. You know, not everything that is learned is contained in books.
Candidate A: I agree. Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. From books, teachers and practical experience.
Candidate B: Yes, I think each has its own advantages.
Candidate A: Yeah, we share the same opinion. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to experience in daily life.
Candidate B: Yeah, I agree. But on the other hand, practical experience can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing. I believe that this is true, and I think making mistakes is the best way to learn.
Candidate A: I don't think so. We can learn from the past by reading books in this way, we won't repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Candidate B: Well, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful.
Candidate A: Yeah, book knowledge remains theoretical and is useless unless it is applied to real experience.
Candidate B: From this point of view, I think that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.
