Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is more important for students to understand ideas and concepts than it is for them to learn facts.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Each student has different study methods to become proficient in what they learn. In fact , it is important that whatever learning strategy he follow, it should be able to help him for future success. Many students probably try to learn just facts because they believe that it is the best method of study. In my opinion however, the successful learning method is to understand the basic ideas and concept rather than just focusing on mere facts due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, understanding ideas and concepts is important because it help students to compare and co-relate what they have learned, which is a easy strategy for quick learning. Learning just facts, on the other hand, is really difficult because human brain cannot hold many information, if they are not connect ed or related. For example, a student is trying to learn about human evolution. He can learn it easily if he tries to co-relate and understand the background, significance, impact and effects behind the evolution. In his brain everything will be properly sequenced by comparing and contrasting all ideas. On the contrary, if the student just focus on a single line fact that "human race evolved from chimpanzees" without even bothering about how and when and why it occurred, will easily forget all what he had read easily. This makes learning things more difficult and time consuming. Hence for easy learning the best way is to understand and relate ideas and concepts.
Secondly, for a bright future understanding the concepts and ideas is very important because professional life is full of application of what we have learned. Mere learning of facts, without knowing how to apply it will not help in a long run. For example a students learns just facts and rules about computer programming will not get professional growth. Even though he got hired by a multi national company, he has to apply what he has learned. In this scenario, this student will be helpless because he did not try to understand the concepts behind programming language. On the other hand, a student who focused on concept and principle behind the programming can easily resolve the problem. He can achieve high position in his job very easily. Hence, learning concepts and ideas makes your future colorful.
In conclusion, students should always try to learn concepts and ideas rather than just learning facts. Those students who learn only the facts not only struggle to memorize it but also lack the methods to apply it in future. Hence, learning and understanding concepts and ideas are recommended.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
