John: What and how I learn depends on who I am.
Mary: Who I am depends on what and how I learn.
Then they see you approaching and ask you for your opinions on their views. Write an essay on how you would answer them.

My outline:
Intro:
Define learning as having a relative change in one's behaviour as a result of one's interaction with the environment. We learn with out senses, through studying, observation and experience. Learning is about defining and solving problems; it influences ability, role perceptions and motivation. In my opinion, both statements are correct, and [give a summary of the points that will come in the outline later] -
Point 1:
What and how I learn depends on who I am
-> true
-> Learning styles depends on the dominant sense of person, whether he/she is visual, auditory or kinesthetic. This dominant sense is in born, and is crucial is determining the best learning style of a person
-> Learning also depends on blah blah blah.... (dunno what to write liao) -

JOHN
if i am someone who's attentive and likes to learn new things, of course i learn in a dilligent way .
if i am someone who hates theory and likes fun , i learn through experimenting and exploring and not from theory .
MARY
if i learn law, then i am a decisive person, and i tend to be more logical.
if i learn by listening, i am someone who can be a good listener and i may be a quiet person .
after that you can maybe talk about your own opinion on whether you are like john or mary . or you can agree with both ?
something like that .
just my 2 cents worth

Understanding what each is saying is crucial as it defines the direction of your essay......
Explain what John is saying. Then explain what Mary is saying. Here, it's like a chicken-and-egg story.....
Then discus the merits and weaknesses of each person's viewpoints.
Conclude by either agreeing with John or Mary OR not at all....... It's entirely up to you where the topic asks you to discuss.
