TWE Essays 130/292 130 From the above analyses, it is not difficult to get the conclusion that grades encourage students to learn. Grades give students the stress and make them compete with each other so that they must study and work hard to succeed. (Essay ID: 265 ) Topic: 72 Almost in every modern society, grades play an import role in assessing students' academic ability.There are all kinds of tests to winnow out weak students. Knowledge itself is so complicate and vast, each one of the test usually can't cover every aspect of it. So I wonder whether grades can really encourge students to learn. The basic reason why I disapprove of the title statement lies in the belief that grades usually don't have positive impact on student who is strong or weak alike. Take the example of student who has high grades: If Tom got good grades in the class, normaly he can't feel conceited. This situation certainly won't lead him into finding some blind spots or weak points in his study. And he won't realize that may be just his good memorizatation helps him a lot or this kind of test suits him well. Let's us look another example: Suppose Johnny isn't good at memorization, but he is at home with analyzation and deduction. Unfortunately, he got poor grades in tests facilitate memorization. One can foresee what harm will bring to him due to the poor grades. In all these cases, the grades play a negative role in encourging students to learn. Most important of all, the grades usually a convenient way of assessing a student's academic ability. But it is by no means a scientific one. Teachers can't determine from the grades whether the student is hardworking(diligent) or out of cram. The tests given to all students regardless of their individual's character traits, just like force everyone to wear shoes of same size. Famous educationist Confucius said two thousands years ago: "Teach students in accordance of their aptitude". Our world is a colorful world, so should be our educational world. Grades especially poor grades will frustrate greatly potential successful students to learn. It will give them a flase impression that their intelligence may be inferior to other students.The worst thing about poor grades is that it may have repercussions in a underachiever's heart when all his fellow students and teacher have long forgotten. In fact, the potential talent of a student will be strangled by those poor grades. A real pity to the student himself and the society. Last but not the least, there is some advantage in taking grades as a tool to evaluate students' academic performance. As in my humble opinion, they should be combine with other scientific methods to encourge students to gain knowledge but not solely focus their energy on how to win high grades. After all, it is the knowledge that it is power, not the grades. (Essay ID: 535 ) Topic: 72 A lot of people claim that marks in tests encourage students to learn. I agree with this statement, because examinations are a good way for a student to review what students have learned; test scores are a standard measurement for students’ learning ability and knowledge level; and the test system can benefit their future. First of all, tests are important for students’ learning. Attending classes is not enough for students to learn the subjects no matter how carefully they listen to what teachers say. They need examinations to review the lessons. In most cases, grades or marks are the only means by which TWE Essays 131/292 131 teachers measure students’ learning ability and learning progress. Therefore, grades encourage students to study for examinations, and it is good system for them to learn the subjects. Secondly, test scores are a standard measurement for students’ learning ability and knowledge level. Most people would agree with this, therefore universities all over the world take test results as a standard measurement to give admission to new students, to offer fellowships, and to decide whether to grant a student graduation. High school teachers use test results as a means to evaluate the effects of teaching, and students’ learning progress. By test scores, teachers also know each individual student’s ability to learn. Thirdly, test results can stimulate a student to work hard on his courses. The testing mechanism encourages students to work hard in order to achieve a better result; they will devote more time on study, and develop a "never give up" spirit. This will not only benefit their study, but also teach them a truth, that everyone needs constant learning and hard working in order to be useful to this society. Students who have developed such learning habit and never give up nature will not only have good performance in schools, but can also superior to others in other aspects; for example, such natures are important factors even after finishing schools. I believe most students understand the importance of these qualities and impacts on their life; therefore they know how important it is to work hard and try to achieve a better score. In conclusion, marks can stimulate student to learn, and good marks can give them advantages in going to a good university and finding a good job. Therefore I strongly support the statement that marks can encourage students to learn. (Essay ID: 158 ) Topic: 73 The use of computer is increasingly popular in modern society. Some people think that the computer makes life more convenient and easier because they can compile documents, buy goods through the Internet and do other works on the computer. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the computer makes life more complex and stressful. There are many instances supporting my opinion. Before the computer was invented, people only need to learn the knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and so on. However, today people have to learn how to operate the computer, to use a variety of software and if the computer does not work, people have to learn how to repair it. People have to learn not only the knowledge of software but also that of hardware. No ending learning makes people exhausted and their life more complex. The computer also makes life more stressful. The society in which we live is called "information society& quot ;. Thanks for the development of the computer, the rhythm of life are increasingly rapid. The business men has so many meetings to attend, so many e-mails to deal with that they have no time to have his lunch. Some students have to work late on the computer to do the homework at night. There are more and more people struggling from the nervous sickness and complaining the "busy life". The rapid development of the computer makes people feel stressful, too. The new generation of the software and the hardware, the update of them, all of these make people have to pay more and more time and money on their computers. Although the computer has become an indispensable part of our life, it can be concluded from the above statements that the computer makes life more complex and stressful. TWE Essays 132/292 132 (Essay ID: 269 ) Topic: 73 Some people say that computers have made life more complex and stressful, but I totally disagree. In my opinion, computers have really made our lives easier and more convenient in communicating, getting informed and doing research work, if you have known how to work with a computer. The e-mail service and Internet based on computer make us communicating with others much easily and conveniently. In the past, we have to write letters or meet in person in order to communicate with others. The mails seem to take forever to arrive and meeting in person means to put out a lot of efforts. Now, the e-mail lasts only a few seconds to send and to receive and we can always meet new people even foreigners in chat room whenever we set up our computers. It really makes our socializing easier. The news on the Internet is being broadcasted 24 hours everyday and tailored to your specific interests. You can always connect your telephone and modem with a computer to read them. Listening to radio or watching television can be informed with what are happening around you conveniently too, but just on the computer can you easily read the specific news in which you are interested without having to buy newspapers. So, up to now, it is the most convenient way to read news at home. Besides, it is very convenient and much easy to do research work with a computer turning on. You can save your work on computers too easily more than just typing a few letters, no matter what your work is, even audio or video data. You can also type a few keys to print them out neatly. Also, you can search whatever materials you want without the trouble of looking for books or magazines in libraries. Some people think that computers have made life complex and stressful. They may not be very familiar with computers or do not know how to work with a computer efficiently. It does not matter. Only after a few weeks of training, they can probably easily enjoy the convenience of computers in socializing, reading news and doing research job. (Essay ID: 533 ) Topic: 73 Some people believe that computers provide easier and more convenient lives for them. In their opinion, computers help them surf internet and share information. They may communicate directly by E.mail. But others hold that computers have made life more complex and stressful and they point out that computers bring many bad effects to human beings, such as information security problem because of hacking attack and environmental pollution because of irradiation. As far as I concerned, I prefer the first opinion rather than the second view. My opinion comes from following three aspects. First of all, computer made life more efficient than before. For example, people might access websites, gain a lot of valuable information and contact each other around the world. Secondly, computer made life more relax and easier. Computers provide varity kinds of games and people could enjoy and relax from them everyday. Finally, compute help people solve many complicated problem by software, such as investment and finance. Therefore, people’s life become more simple and convenient. TWE Essays 133/292 133 However, just as what other people say that computers give us some negative effects in the meantime. For example, Irradiation does harm for our bodies and eyes, so we can not made people seat too long in front of computers. Hacking is a really trouble, and we are supposed to enhance computer control and technology. In general, computers give people an easier and convenient life. Although there exists some bad effects of computers as mentioned above. We are supposed to do our best to solve the problems and pay more attention on their good effects. I believe that our society will benefit more from them in the future. (Essay ID: 453. This is a 5 point essay) Topic: 73 Nowadays some may hold the opinion that computers have made life easier and more convenient, but others have a negative attitude; they say that computers have made life more complex and stressful. As far as I am concerned, I agree that computers have brought more advantages than disadvantages to our life. My arguments for this point are listed as follows. One of the primary causes is that computers have improved the quality of life in our society. They have brought to us more conveniences than ever before: whether we book a plane ticket, arrange a travel to foreign countries, or hook up a telephone line, with the help of computers and modern technologies, they can be done in a few minutes by simply a phone call or a few key strokes; we will not have to run from one place to another, and wait for thousands of years before we can get the services we want. There is a further more subtle point we must consider. Because computers can make use of more personal details about people, companies can provide customers with more individualized service than before. Take booking for a plane ticket for example, as soon as the operator input our name and telephone number into the computer, the system can retrieve our information from the database, and it will analyze our previous traveling patterns and habits, and decide the best fair, airline, traveling time and seating for us. The computer can also arrange accommodations after we arrive at the destination. All these can be done in just a few seconds. What is more, computers give people more convenient access to useful information and services. Nowadays computers and internet is ubiquitous in every corner of our world. We use computers in libraries and public agencies to check up for useful information and the books we need. Furthermore we access internet or CD-Rom to get whatever information we want. Before traveling to a new place, we can check on the computer what the place looks like, what spots are must-sees, and how we can get there. We can get information from the internet on how to get a drivers license, how to write an article on a topic, and even take simulation tests on a specific subject. The computer is such a great learning and information tool! Recognizing the fact that computer is so indispensable to our daily life, we can safely conclude that computers have made life easier and more convenient for us. (Essay ID: 159 . Sample essay provided by Erin Billy of www.TestMagic.com) Topic: 74 There are a lot of views whether the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. Different people has different viewpoint. In my opinion, a group led by a tour guide is the best way to TWE Essays 134/292 134 travel. The argument for this view goes as follows: In the first place, there are many advantages when people travel in a group. First, people will not feel boring in a long trip. People can talk, laugh and make joking like a big family. Second, the group will help you a lot when you have any emergency. The people in the group could help you figure out the awkward situation that will be unimaginable when you travel alone. Third, with the group discount, such as the discount for airplane ticket, the hotel, and the admission ticket, travelers can save a lot of money when they use the group discount. In the second place, there are many advantages too when people travel led by a tour guide. The tour guide will arrange all the details about the trip in advance. The traveler need not worry about where to find the hotel, where to rent the car, and how to find the direction. It will make the trip a little bit easy. Another advantage is that led by a tour guide will save much time than traveling alone. With the professional knowledge, tour guide will make the smartest schedule. I would never forget that one of my friend, a city tour guide in the Shanghai, China, said that she can lead traveler to visit the whole city by one day which people should spend two or three days to finish it. In conclusion, there are many advantages when people travels in a group led by a tour guide, such as save money, save time, do not feel boring, and is easy to take care of. Therefore, I strongly agree that the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. (Essay ID: 247 ) Topic: 74 No doubt,I do strongly advocate this idea that the best way to travel in a group led by a tour guide. There are numerous reasons why I agree with this opinion, and I would in here explain a few of the most imporant ones. At first, I can get many conveniences if I travel in a group led by a tour guide. I don't worry about some things such as residence, transportation, and eating. During the whole journey, I can completely enjoy the pleasure of traveling without being disturbed by some trivial things. Another reason why I agree with this idea is that traveling with a group people is more enjoyable than traveling alone. We can share with the beautiful view each other and can express our feeling each other. In addition, if I encounter certain difficulities, there will be many people to help me. So, this traveling pattern will also more safe. The last reason is that a tour guild will let us learn more knowledge about where we will go because we aren't familiar with that place. Maybe due to our ignorance, we will miss many interesting places without a tour guild. Understanding the reasoning above, it is quite safe now to say: the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guild. (Essay ID: 248. This is a 5 point essay) Topic: 74 Some people may think that the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide, but it is just where I differ from those people. I think the best way to travel is to travel alone. If I travel alone, I can enjoy the pleasure of meeting new people, trying new things and totally relaxing. However, TWE Essays 135/292 135 if I am to travel with a group led by a tour guide, this pleasure seems impossible. Travel alone means that I can meet new people more freely. I can meet not only the other travelers, but also the local residents whenever I travel to a new place. If the person I want to meet is not available at the present time, I can even reschedule my time. But if I travel in a group led by a tour guide, I have to stick to the schedule. I have to take other people’s time into consideration. That means I will lose a lot of chances to meet new people. Travel alone also means I can try new things personally. I can go anywhere I want and do something different from my lifestyle. However, if I travel in a group, the place where I go and the things that I will deal with are all arranged and fixed in advance. I have no choice but to follow. That will be miserable for me as a traveler. When I finally mange to take a travel, I want to relax myself totally. Work is too hard to do and I am really eager to have an enjoyable break. However, I am in a group and I have to stick to the travel schedule, to consider the other group members’ feelings, to go wherever the tour guide leads to. That seems just like I am on my duty at work again. I cannot really get relaxation. I always prefer to travel alone. I would like to meet a lot of different people, experiencing new things on my way in traveling. I think that only scheduling my travel time more casually can make me relax completely. Would not that be the only purpose of traveling? I would like to encourage you to travel alone too. In any case, do not travel in a group led by a tour guide. (Essay ID: 534 ) Topic: 74 There are basically two ways of traveling: traveling in a group led by a tour guide, or traveling independently. There are advantages and disadvantages of the both. By traveling in a group, you will enjoy the companionship, comfort and safety of group travel, and learn more information about the place from a tour guide; while traveling independently, you can maintain the freedom, flexibility and individualism. Some people say that for most people, the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. I agree with this opinion. Firstly, you will enjoy the companionship when traveling in a group. Usually a tour group consists of around 20 people. These people travel together, eat together and stay in the same hotel. During the trip, you can always find someone you like to talk with, and you will never feel lonely as when you are travelling alone. Secondly, you will enjoy the comfort and safety of group travel. When traveling in a group, everything is pre-arranged by the travel agent, and you do not have to worry about booking a ticket, finding a hotel, decide what places to visit, and so on. In the meantime, as you are not preoccupied with arranging the trip by yourself, you may find yourself concentrate more on the trip itself and enjoy it more. In addition, it is much safer to travel in a group. Your personal safety is always taken cared of by others. Thirdly, you can learn more information about the place from a tour guide, and not worrying about missing an important spot. The tour guide will take you to each spot that should be visited, and give you detailed information about the place you visit. You never have to find information about the places you are going to through the Internet or buy a book from the bookstore. Traveling in a group can save you time and money on information searching. In conclusion, there are many advantages of traveling in a group. Although for young people, . succeed.
