us can learn how to something simple on our own with just a set of instructions However, to learn about something more complex, it's always best to have a teacher Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds They've been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style For instance, some students learn better by discussing a topic Others learn more by writing about it Teachers can help students learn in the way that's best for each student A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something Plus they're only as helpful as your ability to understand them A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs Teachers help you focus on what you're learning If you're learning something by yourself, it's easy to become distracted and go on to other activities Teachers keep your attention on the subject They also (5) approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time On your own, it's tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don't need That can hinder your ability to really understand the subject Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning You can only use the information you get from the textbook With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher's own knowledge of the topic Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you're learning There's nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have -THE END (6)
