GRE议论文范文-1议题“实践出真知；光有理论而不去实践是学不到任何东西的。”论文经验是人类最好的老师。只有亲身经验才能将知识牢牢地记在脑中。经验确实是最好的老师。光是纸上谈兵只能算学了半吊子。但当你有了对某事物的经验之后再去学习它的理论，你就会占得先机。大自然教导动物的方式和人类一样。如果一只鸟不拍打自己的翅膀，它将永远学不会怎样飞翔。同样地，当一个新生儿降临，整个世界对他来说都是新的。当她渐渐长大，他开始观察并将其所见具体化表现出来。当他观察某件事物，他就会开始模仿它，并因此学到东西。只有当他触摸了烫的东西，才会明白那是烫手的。只有当他被锋利的东西割到或者从高点儿的地方失足，才会知道这些事物的含义从而远离它们。只有理论而不去实践意味着着你在生活中是处于被动的。一个人如果不去经历，他是永远都不能了解大自然以及任何理论真实程度。有一句谚语是这样说的，“穿鞋者才知鞋哪里不合脚”，这也就让我们理解了不去参与（注释）是不会认识到问题的困难这个道理。只有你开始解决这个问题，才能知道它是困难还是简单。举个例子，当一个学生在为考试做准备的时候，如果他只是按照导师说的去做，难以保证他是否真确地学进了这门课。但在另一方面，如果该生自己练习过并解决了问题，他就得到了解决这些问题的经验。他就能学会自己解决问题，找到他的长处、短处，从而得到使自己进步的机会。这才是真正意义上的学习。然而，也不是所有的事情都能够实践（注释）。要了解月球极其性质，登月是不必要的。普通人要想学习如此遥不可及的东西或者一些假象理论的时候，只能让别人告诉他们。也就是说虽然你可能不能亲自登月，但你可以用大脑去理解它。这就是为什么经验不能被称作唯一的老师。只有当学生准备好去学习一件他力所能及的事物时，他才能真正学习。所以，兴趣才是学生学习的最重要因素。学习的第一步只有在别人的帮助下才能完成。因此来自他们的激励也是学习中非常重要的一个部分。也许“没有实践就不叫学习”这种说法是极端的。学习是一个持续的过程。哪怕对一件事物毫无所知，我们也会下意识地在学习它。因为大脑一直在工作和吸收知识，所以它有能力思考和发展这些知识。因此在你真正实践之前，其实大脑早已为你做好了基础工作。所以，学习不能被某一种特殊的方式所限制。学习需要大脑和身体都参与进来。因此，重要的不仅是实践理论，还需要学习者具备学习的心态去理解他所看到的事物。译者注 原文indulge，作参与解得时候是贬义的，应为用词错误。 it is also true that everything cannot be experienced.原文作者应意为“不是所有事物”，原句看起来有点别扭。个人认为not all things can be或者not everything can be比较好。望各位指点（语法退化的某人擦汗中.）。 翻译GRE ISSUE ESSAY也是一个自我提高的过程，能够看到那些范文的优点、缺点，提高自身阅读及写作的能力。也希望大家可以参与进来。GRE ISSUE ESSAY SAMPLE-1Issue We learn through direct experience; to accept a theory without experiencing it is to learn nothing at all.Essay The greatest teacher is experience. It is only through first hand experience that any new knowledge can get fixed in the mind. It is rightly said that experience is the best teacher. Anything learnt virtually is only half learnt. Nevertheless, having an experience of the thing puts you at a better position when it comes to learning the concept.It is the natures way of teaching things to animals as well as humans. A bird would never be able to learn how to fly unless it flaps its wings. Similarly, when a baby comes to this world, he is absolutely new to the world. As he grows up, he begins to observe and incorporate things that he sees in his life. Once he picks up a thing by observing it, he begins to imitate it and thus learn from it. Unless he touches something hot, he would never know what it is to get burnt. Unless he gets cut from a sharp object, or trips from a higher place, he would never understand the meaning of these things and thus will never learn that he should stay away from such things.Accepting a theory without experiencing it is to remain passive in life. Without experience, one can never know the nature and the extent of any theory. As the famous saying goes,only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches, it can be understood that it is only when one indulges that one comes to know about the difficulties of a task. Whether the task is easy or difficult is a question that can be answered only when it is undertaken. For example, while preparing for an exam, if a student goes by just what is told to him by his tutor, there is no surety of his having learnt his lessons properly. On the other hand, if the student has practiced and solved the lesson on his own, he will have a first-hand experience of the problems. He would solve on his own and find out his capabilities, his weaknesses, and thus get a chance of improving himself. This is learning in the real sense.However, it is also true that everything cannot be experienced. To learn about the moon and its nature, it is not essential to go on the moon. The only way a common man can learn about such far reached things or imaginary theories is when someone tells them something about them. That means you may not have an experience of going on the moon, but it can be understood and perceived by the human mind. Thus, experience cannot be called the sole teacher. Learning happens in an environment where the student is ready to learn what is available to him. Thus, the most important factor in learning is the interest of a student in the subject.The first step towards learning is made only with the help of a guide. Thus the importance of learning by getting inspired cannot be ignored. It would be an extreme statement to say that without experiencing there is no learning. Learning is a continuous process. It goes on in the subconscious mind, without ones knowledge of it. Since the mind is always working and absorbing things, it has the capacity of picking up ideas and developing them as well. Thus, before you actually experience something the mind has already worked over the issue and prepared a base for it.Thus, learning cannot be restricted t
