were growing up Family is always a cosy home and brings happiness to each individual Since we all were born to our life-long each individual may find in the family protect and help mutually not only material, but also spiritual In family, parents are the most important element to decide their adult’s children Love of parents for their children cultivates the quality of ethics or children: charity, the emotional love, sense of obligation….In fact, there are positive influence of parents’ relationship on their children: behavior between spouses; how to talk, chat with each other; however, they also bring to me a trouble in my mind with an uncivil attitude Behavior between spouses is a play that it can act upon me directly They are always at peace with each other and with every one else as well I can see why they are always at peace: they love each other very much and I am a part of their love My parents are always truthful and they have confidence in the future Moreover, my parents are usually interested in and share their feeling, their thought in conjugal life When I was child, I was able to witness how ways my parents take care of together, therefore I believe that I have learned from them many valuable things, in order to prepare to get married Furthermore, my parents respect each other so much, when they chat with each other and how they talk I think it is wonderful that they can be together the whole day and make every decision about their work, their children together Every day, I hear they talk together sweet words, soft manners; naturally, I also have like this with other people at school, in social and my family in the future On the other hand, sometimes in their life has many difficulties, in those situation they often lose calm, they fall in critical time At that time, they rarely pay attention to presence of me They argue, abuse each other Bad behavior of my parents makes me have a dark stamp in my mind As a result of that I will be angry with anyone, if they make me uncomfortable All of all, family with the relationship between father and mother may be the first education and intellectual, moral, physical or me Thus, in addition to care and love children, parents also fulfill their responsibility that in parents’ relationship each other Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

some scandals in examinations recently as we know through multimedia That is one of the reasons why many people wonder it is useful or not In my opinion, exams are not useful since 03 factors at least such as wasting money, making student uncomfortable, causing achievement tendency The first reason is that every year government has had a large payment for organizing the exams, one symbol is entering university examinations Going along with government’s waste that is people’s Parents spend a lot on their children’s study and house rent As the statistic the amount paid for the examinations yearly is enough to build many schools for country One more factor against the exams is that almost pupils and students always feel under forced and fear the exams A preparation for an exam is very hard, with the force passing the exams the learner may spend night by night and day by day to review all knowledge they had been taught You can see the differences between a student in examination preparation and a free student Through the examinations we can estimate the learner with the score so the exam is also consider a measurer for education For this, the achievement tendency become a problem in some examinations Many teachers are afraid that their working achievement will be estimate not good consequently they a try to make the examination is easier an cause the result of student are higher This is the big problem for our education in the recent All above lead us to a conclusion that it’s not useful for exams It’s time we renewed the education in order that learner feel that exams are not exam such as exams is the way to estimate themselves it’s not the way to pass or fail in their study Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

negative effects that make some believe that “exams are not useful” This is true for many reasons Firstly, examinations can just only exam some aspect of the whole course content This is because they are just happening in the short period and the exam questions can’t cover all the aspects of the knowledge in the whole course Students, for example, who will get good result in the argumentative essay in the final exam for the academic writing subject may have find themselves good at other types of writing As a result, exams may not bring the benefit to the students Secondly, in most cases, exams can not rate the practical skills, which are useful for the student when they graduated from university and apply for a job, but only show the students’ performance in theory The example between the excellent student and the professional white collar, the failure of the student in apply in the knowledge into their job Therefore, excellent in test does not mean excellent in working Thirdly, some students find themselves unfair in the test This could be because of the different types of teachers or some political elements involved into As a result, the students may get upset and give up their study as test designed for the particular individuals who take control of the test And such exams may not fulfill their duty in rating the students’ levels Lastly, some may believe that the exams may good in classifying students for specific purpose This is, however, not always true as the bias caused by the above mentioned reasons In conclusion, exams are not useful for the students as well as for the teachers due to its limit rating the students’ true levels Thus, it is recommended that the tests should be designed for the majority of the students and not at the end f the course
