［托福参看范文］ Topic: 17 Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn about something more complex, it s always best to have a teacher. Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. They ve been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style.
For instance, some students learn better by discussing a topic. Others learn more by writing about it. Teachers can help students learn in the way that s best for each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something. Plus they re only as helpful as your ability to understand them. A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs.
Teachers help you focus on what you re learning. If you re learning something by yourself, it s easy to become distracted and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time. On your own, it s tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don t need. That can hinder your ability to really understand the subject.
Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher s own knowledge of the topic. Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you re learning.
There s nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study. For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.
