In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely thanthe expert to make important contributions.
Write a response in which you discuss the extentto which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoningfor the position you take.

The statementasserts that in consideration of contributions to all kinds of inquiry such as scientific research and natural exploration, beginners are more likely to make contributions than experts. While I concede that beginners usually have fewlimitations of existing experiences or have bigger opportunity to find shortcutbesides the main-stream of expertise, however, on balance I disagree withstatement beginners have more chances to contribute to inquiries. There arevarious reasons supporting my opinion. Firstly, theoverriding difference between an expert and a beginner is that experts havecompleted knowledge and ability to handle the inquiry and in contrast beginnersare faced with various obstacles to begin their work as empirical and personalexperiences.
Secondly, grantedthat a beginner has talent and perfect potential in the field of inquiry and hegot the advantage of lacking in limitations of past prejudice, can he make anycontribution without any help from experts in this field? No matter how thebeginner got knowledge of the field, as I think, most of existing achievement ofknowledge will thanks to experts work. So the beginner has hardly anyopportunity to exceed experts in respect of contribution.
On the other hand,work of beginners is essential for any field of inquiry, as a complementary part ofexperts work. Though it’s hard to say that beginners make more contribution,however, their braveries of innovation or creation play the part of key to thesuccess of the inquiry.
