Concepts are developed beyond facts. In other words, we use concepts to illustrate ideas and opinions that we see or hear about this world. However, the purpose that we learn about concepts is to have more understanding of facts and the real world. That’s why I believe that it is more important to learn from facts, rather than any concepts or so.

To begin with, facts are more comprehensive. Concept are simplified and abstract since they have to describe a kind of phenomenon with limited words. It’s hard for us to learn from concepts with no relation to the real world. For example, if you try to learn how to ride bikes from books, then you will not achieve it. Though you have read how to keep your balance, or how to move the pedals, your bodies gain no practice from the real world. Once you start riding, your bodies will guide you. You may lose your balance at first time and fall down, but your bodies will make adjustment quickly till you complete learning it.

Secondly, facts tell the truth. A saying goes:” a thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets”, demonstrating that people always add their opinions into objective world. Thus, we can’t guarantee that all the concepts that we are learning have no prejudice or bias: writers will make mistakes, news may contain misleading information. Absorbing these concepts, indeed, does no good to formation of our world’s view. Besides, students are weak in recognizing what is true. They should learn from facts and use their brains to process them into their knowledge.

From my experience, concepts are easiest to learn. Understanding ideas or opinions, in essence, means that you have just begun to learn a new thing. However, very few of us take actions and deep into facts to learn more. Students have time, as well as passion, they should seize this opportunity to understand this world. Therefore, I truly believe that it is predominant for students to learn from facts.
