It can be theoretical knowledge, like the knowledge we get from reading a book, or it can be practical knowledge, which we get from doing and practicing things. Some people think knowledge and wisdom are the same, but others say that a person with knowledge can be without wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to make correct judgents and decisions.
English Conversation – Books & Literature
This is the preparation material for an English conversation lesson about books, literature and reading. Literature is the art of written work and means “things made from letters”. There are two main forms – fiction (text based on imagination) and non-fiction (text based on factual information). A love of reading can reduce stress, encourage positive thinking and improve your creativity and imagination.
