The Importance of Practice

“

Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it

”

is a proverb vividly showing the relation

ship between knowledge and practice. Apparently, this saying delivers the message that if we wa

nt to truly acquire the knowledge, we ought not to stop practicing what we

’

ve learned.

As for us college students, practice is of great importance. There are two reasons for this stateme

nt. To begin with, it is by practice that we can apply the knowledge we have obtained from our te

xtbooks to solving practical problems. By doing so, we can get more experience. What

’

s more, knowledge has become so growingly complicated that if we don

’

t ponder over it again and again, we cannot genuinely grasp the essence of it. Oral English learnin

g is a good case in point. Even if one is extremely familiar with the grammar of the language, he w

ill never be a fluent speaker if he doesn

’

t open his mouth to speak.

To sum up, practice is of great importance for those who are determined to truly grasp knowledg

e. Practice not only assists us in getting more social experience, but also enables us to capture th

e essence of knowledge.

The traditional Chinese hospitality requires that the foods served are so diverse that guests cann

ot eat up all the dishes. A typical Chinese banquet menu includes cold dishes served at the begin

ning, followed by hot dishes, such as meat, poultry, vegetables, and so on. At most banquets, the

whole fish is considered to be essential, unless various kinds of seafood have been served. Nowa

days, Chinese people would like to combine Western specialties with traditional Chinese dishes. T

herefore, it is not rare to see steak being served, either. Salad has also been catching on, although

traditionally Chinese people generally do not eat any food without cooking. There is usually at le

ast a bowl of soup, served either at the beginning or in the end of the banquet. Desserts and fruit

usually mark the end of the banquet.
