Should students memorize facts only after they have studied the ideas, trends, and concepts, as the author asserts? Actually, the system of knowledge does not conclude only facts, but also the ideas, trends, and concepts that help explain those facts. I agree that students who learn only facts without the ideas, trends, and concepts have learned little. Nonetheless, to some extent, only memorizing fact is also necessary. Furthermore, the combination between facts and the ideas, trends, and concepts may be most efficient.

First and foremost, students who learn only facts without the ideas, trends, and concepts have learned little. There exist many facts that our sages have concluded, which help us to utilize these facts to further research. However, the number of facts is so large that we cannot memorize every fact. In my opinion, the ideas, trends, and concepts which are more important than facts themselves, may teach us how to deduce, to analyze, to critical thinking. If we have learned these methods, we might have the capability to search for more facts and theories, other than take lots of time to only memorize them.

However, to some extend, only memorizing facts is also necessary, especially when we have difficulty to understand the ideas, trends, and concepts of facts. We cannot deny the fact that there exist some theories which cannot be explained, but we are still using them. Can you explain to me the fact that why the result of one adding one is two? Actually, it is a common sense that the result is two, but many people don't know why. There also exist some facts that we cannot understand them with limited knowledge. When we explain the reason to a child who asks the answer why we hear lightning at first, then see it, however, they cannot understand the reason that the speed of sound and optic are different in the air. Usually, we cannot understand every fact, may be just memorizing them is the best choice.

Furthermore, the combination between facts and the ideas, trends, and concepts may be the most efficient method when learning some thing. A good knowledge of the ideas, trends, and concepts help us better understand a fact, while memorizing facts, to some extend strengthen the knowledge of those ideas, trends, and concepts. Without knowing the ideas, trends, and concepts, we may have a poor knowledge about the situation which a fact suits for.

To sum up, learning only facts without the ideas, trends, and concepts have students learned little. Meanwhile, to some extent, only memorizing fact is also necessary. Finally, I strongly call for the combination between facts and the ideas, trends, and concepts.
