I spent 30 minutes to write the essay as shown blow.

                        
Thank you!

                        

                        

                        

                        

                        

                        
Assignment: do you believe that fantasy or imagination is more important than knowledge?

                        

                        

                        

Admittedly, under the circumstance that knowledge is the foundation of
development, knowledge is more important than imagination. However, not
the same as this viewpoint, do I link the issue that imagination is the
origin of knowledge, with that it is the imagination that bring idea
and goal to us, it is imagination that bring creativity to us and it is
the imagination that bring new though to us, more over my judgment that
imagination is far more important than knowledge. To rationalize my
point of view, I will handle several reasons and examples as addressed
blow.
Demonstrating, my personal experience, I want to explain
how the imagination establish the orientation for one rather that
knowledge does that. When I was a child, I always imagined that one day
I can be a rich business man. So when I grow up, I want to major in
business in my ideal university. Do you think the knowledge on business
has such temptation that lead me major in business? Of course not! So
it is the imagination orients one in one?s future life and make one
have a clear goal.
Furthermore, when one get one?s goal, one need
imagination to achieve one?s aim, more over this notion can be observed
through the example of Edison. Do any one in the ancient time, imagined
that one day human would have electric light? No, no one except Edison
for he had a goal to light the world. So he imagined how to invent a
light. Although he failed thousands of times, he never gave up. At that
time some people though that this imagination is fancy, but it is
Edison?s imagination that taught him make the light. You may know that
it is imagination that bring idea to us and make us achieve our goals.

Finally, the imagination do spur our new thought hat make human
formulate different kinds of theories and hypothesizes. Darwin?s
experience may be convincing. As Darwin had a trip to an island, he
researched the skeletons of animals. To his surprise, he found that
there was great similarity in these animals. So he started to imagine
how these animals evolve. Finally, he formulated the hypothesis on
evolution which is differs from the theory made by religion and so is
an innovated thought. The imagination spur the new though, is not it?

As an ancient saying goes ?every coin has two sides?, we can not
polarize the issue, whereas, the disadvantage of my judgment is that
one?s achievement not only depends on imagination but also depends on
one?s practice which includes knowledge.
All in all, considering
all the reasons and examples as shown above, I want to conclude that
the imagination spur our idea, creativity, and new though and help us
achieve our goal, even if compared with the advantage, the disadvantage
is minor point.

People who get 2300 SAT game plan
Do lots and lots of practice exams. Do one subsection at a time. For
reading, that involves first the sentence completion, check answers and
review questions, then short passage, check and review, then long
passage, check and review. Do a full section only if you want to know
how you do on time, and one full-length test if you want to see if you
can handle taking the test for 4 hours.

    
Find out where your
problem areas are by reviewing wrong questions and answers. I found
myself getting a lot of questions science/social science passages
wrong, even though I know a lot more about those subjects than art and
literature. My problem was using prior knowledge for sciences rather
than referring to the passage and rereading the relevant section or
paragraph. Finding out major errors and problems in strategy will
really raise your score: I jumped from ~650 to 750 on practice tests,
and 800 on the real one.

    
If you have plenty of time, read a
lot for the verbal section. Don't memorize vocabulary if it makes your
head hurt doing so. Do try to remember words you got wrong.

    

Learn your grammar rules. Remember the SAT does not test perfect
English: plenty of stuff your english teacher say is bad writing, such
as passive voice, do not constitute as errors on the finding errors
section.

    
Don't make stupid mistakes in math.  Double-Check answers.

    

Finally, don't put yourself in the "I must get 2300+ mentality." This
will only increase stress levels. Relax during the test and understand
the SAT is not the main factor in college admissions.

        SAT records biggest score drop in 31 years
    

    

    
"The
high school class of 2006 recorded the sharpest drop in SAT scores in
31 years, a decline that the exam’s owner, the College Board, said
was partly due to some students taking the newly lengthened test only
once instead of twice."
