Getting marks does not motivate students to study эссе

Эссе (сочинение) по английскому языку на тему: Exams motivate students to study harder

ЭССЕ (СОЧИНЕНИЕ)

If you go to school or university, you are faced with a number of exams. Basically, these exams are supposed to test your knowledge and skills. Also, they may motivate you to study harder.

In my opinion, it is really the case that exams motivate students to study harder. Firstly, exams are often a pass to a higher level of education. If you get good marks in examinations, you are admitted to further education. If you fail, you do not get the admittion. So, you make every effort to keep the right to study further. Secondly, exams are a good way to assess your learning efficiency and detect possible gaps in your knowledge. Bad marks mean that your knowledge is flawed and you need to be more disciplined and work harder to do away with the flaws.

But there are people who believe that examinations do not give real motivation to a student. They say that being a good student with excellent marks does not guarantee future prosperity.

Nevertheless, I cannot assent to the foregoing opinion, because being a good student is the beginning of being a good employee or worker who can earn a good living. Highly qualified professionals are always in great demand in any business sector.

In conclusion, exams play an important part in our life, although any exam is a kind of pain. But the saying is: no pain, no gain!

Vns, your essay, while delivering good reasons to support grades as a motivation for learning, needs a lot of grammatical work. I don’t know why but it seems like you are struggling to improve the way you construct English sentences. It does not have to sound highly educated, nor does it need to use big words that you think are impressive to read on paper but don’t work to enhance your sentence at all. You just need to be able to express your thoughts coherently, using the correct simple English words. When are you taking the TOEFL test? You really need to work on this aspect of your essay writing skills. I will help you with this essay in the hopes that it can motivate you to learn how to take your time in writing the essay and encourage you to choose and think about the words you use when expressing yourself in English.

Grades are the motivation for students to study better, because marks can create for you a competitive environment. More than that, it is an indicator if you are prepared to step your foot outside the comfort zone or not. This essay will clarify why grades will compel students to learn.

— Grades motivate students to study better because of the competitive environment it creates in the classroom. It is the indicator by which a student is judged by his teachers as being ready to advance to the next level of his education and whether a student is ready to step out of his comfort zone. These are but some of the reasons that I believe that grades encourage students to study and learn.

There are abundance of students who are also study with you. They will be rated as you ,thus, once if you find out that somebody has a better mark than you. Hence, it will force you to learn and surpass the person who obtained the higher mark than you last time. By grading students, class will become a huge competition between many students. It is inevitably to feel jealous seeing someone who has better mark than you. However, this cannot apply to everyone, since there are plenty of people who could get dismay quite easily. To clarify it , a large group of people especially these days tend to consider themselves weak or not capable of anything. Consequently, once they see someone is better than them, then they will resign. In other words, not many spirits can overcome the pressure the move forward. However, as time goes by, they will realize that it is necessary to be jealous when it comes to marks or grades.

— Man is competitive by nature. That said, the the classroom setting encourages competition among students who study alongside one another. They are rated individually, hence creating the competitive atmosphere that encourages them to study harder in order to get higher grades than the others. Grading allows students to gauge their competition in class and also allows teachers to see whom among the students are fast learners. This allows the teachers to adjust their teaching styles and offers the students an insight into their learning abilities.

Furthermore, mark is the thing that statistically show you your performance. It can greatly affect you in a positive way. Since, most of people on this planet knows that school or university usually associated with your future works or jobs. In other words, it usually turns out that people who studied well at school have a tendency to execute their work or job well. Despite this possibility, again this does not apply to everybody, due to everyone’s spirit and lucks. There are many people who studied well at school, however, they did not have enough practical experience or patience or lucks to succeed in this cruel world. After all, everything can possible on this planet.

— Grading influences most students in a positive way. Students who see that they are getting good grades ambition to become more in life by attending college and universities because they know they can do their chosen jobs well. While others, who do not get good grades, are discouraged from attending higher education institutions but then, have a natural skill to succeed in life. Basically, grades do what they are meant to do, serve as the inspiration for students to continue doing well in their studies.

Please work on your conclusion by developing the proper format of restated prompt, summary, and your conclusion. Thanks 🙂

“Exams motivate students to study harder”

Education is an integral part of every person’s life. It has become an unwavering procedure for all the school leavers to take exams in order to determine the level of their knowledge recently. That is why some people claim that this process makes them do their best to succeed in it while others assure it does not prove anything. So, who is right? Let us speculate about it.

I am strongly convinced that exams are of great practical value. Firstly, whereas preparing for the exams, students have to deal with a great quantity of material. Therefore if they do everything on time, it will help them to fill in the existing gaps in their knowledge. Additionally, exams upgrade some personal qualifications, making the students more organised and mature in facing various problems and coming up with right solutions. Consequently, they will be better at arranging their workspace in the future.

Nevertheless, we can find a contrary opinion on this contentious assumption. They state that exams themselves are nothing else but a pure luck phenomenon. They also claim that it is frequent for school leavers to guess the right answer while passing the exam.

I cannot completely agree with the above-mentioned opinion about the phenomenon because the whole educational system has been developed to delete all these accidental right answers, thus quite the reverse, leaving much space for students to demonstrate their own abilities and knowledge.

All in all, I reckon that this suggestion has its rational kernel as well as the ground under the feet but I still strongly believe that the exams are great motivators in the whole educational process.

Nowadays, what the students talk about most is grades. It seems that grades has become the purpose of studying. In my opinion, grades force students to learn, but not encourage them.  

There is a popular saying among the students that ˜arks are the root of the students? that shows the importance of marks. As knowledge is taking a more important part in our society, we students are all trying to get better education because we know that the more knowledge we get today, the better we can prepare for the future. We are all willing to go to a famous university, as it is easier for a graduated student from a famous university to find a good job. Since marks are closely related to bright future, we can easily understand why students are crazy about their marks.  

I do not deny that marks make students to study hard, but that is a kind of enforcement but not encouragement. Students study just because of the stress of future living conditions. That is a horrible thing, isn`t it? Study, which should have been a kind of happiness, has now become a way to survive, that`s too heavy for this word and may have caused some tragedies.  

We read in the newspaper continually that some students killed themselves just because they did not do well in the test. They may have a bright future, but they died so early just because of the low marks. Maybe they are not strong enough, but there is no reason to let them die! The grades become a heavy stress for the students, which do not encourage them, but discourage them, disappoint them and finally lead to their death.  

We can also see some classmates around us who do not compete in the right way. In order to get better marks than others, some students damaged or hide other students` book, some even cheat in the exam. Such kind of thing makes a very bad influence on those students` further lives. They might do the same thing when they had grown up and that would obviously cause more serious consequences. Students should not study for marks, but for themselves. Study means more than just getting good grades. Study stands for many, many things, such as the happiness of absorbing the knowledge, the satisfaction of mastering the knowledge. Those things are for the students to dig by themselves, but grades take up the time of that.  

Grades are not everything for students. It has not encouraged the students to learn, but led them into the wrong way. Grades have become an obstacle of the development of the students` study.

The grades are an important part of the school testing system. some might disagree with this statement because it might seem unfair to a lot of people, that a student’s ability to be tested only by grades achieved during schooling. but in most of the schools, the grades are essential for proving your worth in this competitive system.

First, it makes the study competitive and encourages the students to do better. some may have the idea that grades do not help a student in getting better because not all students have the aspiration to do good in the educational field. Hence, grades become a less important reason in some of these scenarios. Although, getting good grades becomes a driving factor for a lot of students as they find it very rewarding and it motivates them to give their best in the examinations and all the other fields. A student getting better grades gets much more appreciation equally from their teachers, peers and parents, and gives us a sense of satisfaction.

The grades help to decide one’s place in his/her studies. though for some, it really isn’t a big factor as they are less interested in grades or perhaps they study hard but just do not like the examination setting as a result, even though they study well, they are somehow unable to give their best in that setting. However, usually, it tells a student how much work they need to put in and in what fields they need to work more to improve their performance. For example, during my schooling I got very poor grades in Chemistry and it drove me to spend more time on the subject compared to other subjects as a result, my grades improved over time and as a result, my overall grades were better.

Finally, good grades speak for themselves about a student’s performance when it comes to higher studies and job recruitment. I agree that a lot of the jobs are looking for other properties in their employees, such as the managing skills or the soft skills of an applicant when it comes to a managerial post. but in most cases, it is preferred that the person has a good knowledge base in the field they are applying for a job and the grades become one of the deciding factors for the recruitment process. I recall the time when I attended an interview for a position which required knowledge of the machines used in the factory and my grades showed the recruiters that I have the necessary knowledge in the required field.

Grading should be a part of the learning system as it has various outcome related importance when it comes to the real world and it also gives an insight into the person’s intelligence and their drive for competition. they become an important aspect of a student’s future endeavours.
