第一段三句话,用核心词引入+带出引言+引言的目的
There are several reasons accountable for this statement. To begin with,
human being are forgetful beings; therefore, only when we use knowledge, make
mistakes, and try to use it again will we be able to remember it by our heart.
Moreover, knowledge has become growingly complicated and we can seldom genuinely
grasp the essence of it if we do not practice it and ponder it over again and
again. For instance, there used to be simple diseases, such as the cold and
measles, and a doctor might have the knowledge to treat all the common ones.
However, with our living environment becoming ever increasingly harsher, the
diseases have evolved into weird, irremediable, and unpredictable ones.
Therefore, the medication has been divided into numerous branches, and doctors
of each one have to practice for years only in order to cure the diseases
belonging to the similar sort。

determined to learn knowledge well. Not only does it assist people to remember
knowledge better, but we are able to catch up with the speed of the evolotion of
knowledege. As a student, I hope that the young can focus more attention on
practicing what they learn than on remembering it blindly so that the knowledge
will become our real treasure and make our life more splendid。
