Which kinds of way you prefer to learn new knowledge ? The way of learning knowledge normally can distinguish from self-learning and taught by teachers . Both of this two ways have their pros and cons , yet in my opinion , I will prefer to learn the new knowledge with a teacher rather than learning by myself , so I will explain the reasons by following statements . First , learning a new knowledge with a teacher can be more efficient . Most teachers we have met in school are certificated by the government , so they not only have the concerned ability of education but the profession they got from the college . Why I have to mention this background ? That is because most students like me aren’t genius , it will be difficult and inefficient for us to learn completely unknown knowledge without teachers . In fact , teachers has already learned this knowledge for a while , so we can require better ways to comprehend and memorize the most important points through their guidance in different subjects . Finally it will improve our comprehension of this knowledge . Second , teachers can give some feedback for us during the learning process . In my opinion , the most efficient way for learning knowledge is to input the contents then output the product through your comprehension , and in the middle process we need to get some feedback from others because of some misunderstanding or incorrect application for the knowledge . Thus , teachers who regard as the lecturers teaching the knowledge has the ability and obligation to give feedback for students’ mistake . Through the feedback again and again , students can literally understand how to apply the knowledge in proper way . Admittedly, self-learning are more flexible for students to learn those knowledge which will be hardly taught by teachers in school , however , honestly it isn’t appropriate for all students . For my own experience , as a normal person I will prefer to learn with a teacher because I am not as clever as those genius , so I believe that most people around the world are not the special one who has extraordinary memorization and comprehension . For the normal self-learning will take more time and effort even reducing their passion of learning the knowledge , because they will face lots of frustration during the process , nobody can give them the solution to deal with the difficulty of the new challenge . Consequently , their confidence and passion will become collapsed after the persistent frustration and finally affect their learning .
