text: Firstly, getting different opinions allows people to gain knowledge. In fact, most people have probably learned that you can gain knowledge from other people, and this is true. When someone takes advice from others, they become more informed about that topic. For example, in 3rd grade when we were preparing for the Reading SOL my teachers, Ms. Generic_Name and Mr. Generic_Name, advised us to use many test taking skills such as highlighting and slash and trash, and in previous years my teachers taught me to take my time and focus on the questions. When it came to the test day I took my time, and I used all the test taking skills I learned and applied them. I even scored a perfect score! Till this day, I still use all of these strategies, and they make me a better test taker. Therefore, it is important to take advice from other people because they help one grow and learn.
