It's said that experience is the best way for people to learn. I agree with the opinion, experience is the best teacher. For this, I will state two reasons as below.    

Firstly, the purpose of leanring something from the book is to use in the experience, and the experience provides us the platform to use the knowledage. Experience promotes our actual operation ability. Take myself for example. In my university period, there would be a practice project after every semester. At that time, we tried our best to do the actual work with our hands, which did good for us to practise operation ability. Of course, what we had gained in the practice wouldn't be get on the class, and students liked the learning way more than studing on the class.

Secondly, experience provides us sufficient chances to know whether we have mastered the knowledage learned from the book. Sometimes we thougt we had known the knowledage well, but in fact, we still don't know how to do in the actual operation. we have to realize that there's a big difference between acdemic knowledge and practical use. Once we know the open knowledge points, we will have more power to solve it, which is more efficient for us to learn something, to have progress.

There's no doublt that experience takes the leadership on the learing, meanwhile, the academic knowldge is the basic. I think vased on the academic knowledge, experiece will have more obviobs effect on learning.
