hinking about school, no one could fail to see the image of examinations. To many students, exams are the frightening devastator of school joy. However, they’re also very important and interesting.
First of all, examinations are student’s motivation to learn more. They compel us to solidify what we have learned, study further and practice skills. Thank to them, we have to revise old lessons till obtain all important issues. Thank to them, we have to investigate all possible questions and unconsciously absorb new knowledge. Thank to them, we have to sharpen our logical and critical thinking, which is essential skills in life. After all, if there was no test, then we would naturally rather play than study.
In addition, examinations, of course, help to examine students. They show students’ knowledge, abilities, and even characters. After knowing their pupils’ exam results, teachers can have a better understanding about their students and, therefore, be able to find a more suitable teaching method. The students can also base on exam scores to make learning strategies. For instance, if you are bad at literature, you need to spend more time reading book and writing; or if you are a dab hand at math, you can practice more to pick up a job about mathematics in the future.
Last but not least, school life are seasoned with exams. Imagine how our days would change if there was no exam. What a relief, right? Whereas, we wouldn’t be able to taste the bitter of failing an exam. It also means no salty sweat of studying hard and no sweet tear of successful passing. And then, you couldn’t prove your abilities to others, too. Without exams, it would be dull as there was no challenge nor hardship.
In conclusion, school isn’t really school without examinations. Hence, let’s quit complaining about hard exams. They will be as easy as pie if we try our best.
