Some people think adults should learn practical skills by themselves, while others think they should learn from teachers.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In the contemporary society, young adults must have the abilities of integrating theories into practices, so that they can survive in the competitive society. There is a debate that young adults should learn this skill by themselves or through teachers’ help. In my point of view, both methods have their pros and cons, but guiding by teachers in the early age would be a better idea for further development.

Self learning is an important strategy in the growing process. Young people need to be able to study by themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Also, they can be more observant and be an independent decision maker in their practices, as they learn from their previous mistakes. However, not many young adults are mature enough to have sound self-control ability, neither they would identify their mistakes immediately. Therefore, it may not be a ideal strategy for young adults to learn practical skills by themselves.

Learning practical skills under teachers’ supervision could compensate the shortage when youngsters learning alone. Teachers can immediately identify the mistakes that students made and direct them back on the right track. Therefore, students can avoid unnecessary detours. Furthermore, it would not affect students’ critical thinking skills. Because good teachers will always encourage students to think independently and induce their potentials. In this case, young adults would benefit from teachers.

In conclusion, encouraging youngsters to learn independently is one of the strategies to learn practical skills. But receiving guidance from teachers is a better strategy for students to learn in their early ages.
