题目:ISSUE28 - "Students should memorize facts only after they have studied the ideas, trends, and concepts that help explain those facts. Students who have learned only facts have learned very little."

When it comes to facts during study, many would claim that students should benefit little from memorizing them before getting explanations concerned such as trends and ideas. In my opinion, however, to remember facts helps students out of dispensable processes and provide them with a better basis.

With regard to those students in primary schools, it is almost impossible to prove all relevant theorems for them in maths, for requisite concerned is far beyond the ability and capacity of them. As we know, maths is a precise subject, which acquires proofs to deduce any conclusions. Without proofs such as theorems, we should never go ahead even a step in lack of necessary foundation. Unfortunately, theorems as bases for new knowledge, seemingly intuitional though, acquire advanced knowledge and approaches to prove. For example, it is common sense that segment account the shortest distance between two points. However, we have to teach pupils first what they can only learn in university, and thus it is not so efficient to render students all explanations in advance.

For beginners, facts about a strange subject are indispensable for their further study. Subjects students have never touched before, typical of a foreign language, ask for basic elements recited without reasons. Considering pupils whose mother language is Chinese, distinct from English at all, they have to remember words enough to serve as the basic tool for communication between them and their foreign teacher. Besides, grammar is also helpful to establish their recognition for English. Critics may argue that too much focus on grammar would prevent students from truly understanding a foreign language. I suppose, yet, for those who lack the primitive realization of what English is like, only grammar can guide them into the essence of English, and set up a bridge between English and his mother tongue. When they are proficient enough with the help of grammar, they can go along well without grammar.

Admittedly, too much focus on memorizing facts would lead to students in short of creativity and inefficiency of education. However, no facts remembered at all in advance also prevent students from understanding thoroughly what they learn and constrain their freedom in study. We should go no further than history study to realize the importance of facts. On one hand, merely events introduction are meaningless for a students majoring in this field, the reasons behind thereby need providing; on the other hand, to memorize facts as many as possible also benefit students because they would like to compare events they are learning in class with those already in their mind. By doing so, they could have a more comprehensive and deeper recognition of the lessons taught than those who have no materials to refer to.

To sum up, facts memorized before explanations are bases of a further and efficient study. Crucial facts remembered help us understand subjects we learn more smoothly and easily, especially at the very beginning and also save us time and energy so as to emphasize on what is essential.
