1. It has been said, "Not all learning takes place in the classroom."Compare and contrast knowledge gained from personal experiencewith knowledge gained from classroom instruction. In your opinion,which source is more important? Why?
In my opinion, we both need the knowledge that comes from school and from our
environment or experiences. There are things that we don’t learn from school that

we learn from the outside and vice versa. The things that we learn from school
are mostly concerned about our intellectual growth and the things that we learn
outside are more on moral, emotional and social growth. Both the knowledge we
gained from the two sources can be applicable in our daily life. The things we
learn from school can be applied in our experiences and the things we learn from
experiences can be applied in school.
If I will assess myself, I think most of my knowledge is from my experiences which
I didn’t learn in school. But then, I give prior to the things that I learn from my
subjects because it will affect my future career.
Knowledge is learned in different ways, some through books and education, and
others by experiences that we have had. Classroom knowledge is necessary to
our development as professional, and in order to have a career, as well as a well
paid job. But we also learn from past mistakes, and from the errors that we have
made throughout our lives. They are both very important for us to be able to gain
different kind of knowledge, and to choose just one would be unrealistic.
All the information we need to be able to function well in society, have a job, a
house, a car, and have the main necessities we need in life is found through
education. This education is found in the classroom, and here is where we learn to
get the knowledge we need to succeed. In the same way, knowledge is learned by
personal experiences. We are human being, and we learn to recognize when we
make a mistake. This has a great significance in our development to become
more mature as well as knowledgeable. We learn valuable lesson both in the
classrooms and by person experiences every single day.
In contrast, there are many lessons from which we don't learn by our own
mistakes, but rather in the schools. For instance, we cannot become a
professional, or work as one, without the training, and the education that we need
in order to learn the main factors of that profession. These cannot be learned by
experiences. We do not go, and work as a doctor. In order to learn how to save
people's lives we need to study in the classroom, and get the education we need
to be able to function well, and on an ethical manner. Otherwise no matter how
experienced at working with sick people we may be, we could not do our job right.
In addition, we would be putting people's lives in danger.
In conclusion, I agree that not all knowledge that we have is from school and not
all that we know is from our experiences. School and outside environment should
compliment each other for the total growth of an individual.
2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they

start school.Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
Yes, I agree that children should start learning foreign language, specifically
English, as soon as possible. In this way, they will not have a hard time speaking
and learning the language when they grow up. Besides, they should really be
used to it because it is mostly the medium of instruction that they will use in
school. It is also important that children learn English because if they will need it
in their future career, it’s an advantage for them that they are already used to it.
But then, parents should guide their child and make them used in speaking both
English and Tagalog fluently so that the child knows his/her native language.
In my case, I sometimes wish that my parents should have taught me to speak
English when I was just a child because now I’m having a hard time, but just little
though, speaking the language especially I’m an English Major student so I should
be fluent in speaking the English language. But eventually, my aunt is an English
teacher so she taught me the basics of English like correct use of grammar andsentence construction. By that, I can say that it became my foundation that’s why
I’m not having that much difficulty in constructing sentence and speaking with
correct grammar.
Nowadays, many people believe that children should begin learning foreign
languages as soon as they start school. I strongly support this opinion on account
of these reasons.
First foreign languages are so important as they have never been before. The
world in which we live is becoming more international since the process called"globalization" started in the previous century. Learning several languages is
especially essential for people growing up in non-English speaking countries.
English is now influencing everyone's life. For instance, in contrast to the mid
twentieth-century, European university students are often taught in English and
have to read English literature. I am glad about this development. According to
me, it has many advantages. However, people cannot avoid learning foreign
languages today.
The younger the learner is, the easier this process is. Scientists are convinced
that children even do not have any problems when they learn several languages
at the same time. Although they may mix words of different languages at the
beginning, they finally manage the separation after much practice. Further, there
is evidence that a person never learns more than in the first years of his live.
Consequently, this is the best time for kids to learn something that they will need
for the rest of their lives.

To top it all off, it is necessary for us to learn the international language because
we will have a lot of benefits when we know and when we are used in speaking
the English language. It may be an advantage in our future course, future career,
or we can use it when we go to other countries eventually.
3. Some students like classes where teachers lecture (do all of the
taking) in class. Other students prefer classes where the studentsdo some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? Givespecific reasons and details ti support your choice.
For me, I prefer the combination of both the teachers and students will talk and
discuss in the class. In my opinion, it should not always be the teacher who will do
all the talking and the discussion, especially in high school or college level,
because it’s one way of teaching the students to develop self-confidence and to
assess if the student is good in communication and speaking skills. But then, the
teacher should assist the students, especially the high school ones, because theirspeaking skill and confidence is not fully-developed. Teachers should understand
that some will have a hard time explaining their report and some will just read
their report without explaining. Teachers should not make their students feel
embarrassed when they have reported in a wrong way because instead of
building up their confidence, they will just be ashamed and frustrated and might
not like to report again.
As an education student, I understand that our professors will assign us to do all
the discussion because they arepreparing us in our future job and career as a
teacher. Eventually, I hope I can enhance my speaking skills so that I will be ableto explain the topics clearly.
I think that such classes will promote more academic efficiency. Students can
discuss the related topics of the class. They can find a lot of different opinions on
particular subjects or themes. If somebody does not understand something he/she
can ask his/her classmates while talking. Moreover, such classes help students to
develop their communication skills. This is strikingly important if taking into
account the level of nowadays competition in the labour market. All the described
aspects undoubtly encrease the students academic efficiency.
All students can benefit from such classes. While talking about a particular subject
students can write down the conversation and than look through it to prepare for
the term paper or some other paper. This classes will give students an
opportunity to express their own standpoints; and therefore, students can easily
find out what others think of it. For example, in my university there were a lot of
classes where we were required to participate in the talkings. I remember that in
8/4/2019 assign - arianne cabañez
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/assign-arianne-cabanez 5/5
all theses classes I got the highest grade because I was one of the most active
participants of such classes. In addition, all students stated that the grades that
were received in such classes were higher than those of the other classes. That is
why these form of teaching is beneficial to all students.
In conclusion, there may be some advantages of classes where teachers do all of
the talking. But as my arguments were presented above, I consider classes wherethere are opportunities for students to talk on the related topics more useful. Such
classes can promote academic efficiency and all students can benefit from them.
If I have chance to choose which kind of classes to attend, I would definitely
choose classes where students can do some of the talking.
