Đáp án B

Do we need tests at school?

Some students say that tests don’t help them learn. As soon as they pass a test, they forget what they've learned. Is it really as simple as this?

(1) In my opinion, tests are necessary for several reasons. (2) Firstly, they motivate students to study. Being successful at school is important for many young people, so they work hard to get good marks. (3) Secondly, tests allow students to check how much they know and which things they still need to work on. During the test, students have to count on their own memory and their own abilities. (4) Finally, I believe that tests teach essential life skills which will be useful in the future. For example, before and during a test, students need to plan their work, manage their time, concentrate on the task and deal with stress.

(5) To conclude, tests can be helpful in many different ways. (6) All in all, I (7) am feeling that they are one of the most important parts of school life.

Tại sao thất bại không phải luôn luôn là một điều xấu
Người ta thường nói rằng chúng ta ngày càng có nhiều rủi ro hơn, thận trọng hơn, cẩn thận hơn để không thất bại. Điều này đặc biệt đáng chú ý ở cả nơi làm việc và trong lĩnh vực giáo dục, trong đó nhấn mạnh đến việc đạt được kết quả tốt hơn là học tập và trở nên khôn ngoan hơn. Trên thực tế, thái độ này rất phổ biến đến mức nhiều người trong chúng ta đã sợ hãi đến mức nào. Đây có phải là một thái độ lành mạnh? Nghiên cứu cả về kinh doanh và giáo dục đều cho thấy.

Trong một nghiên cứu được thực hiện tại Đại học Bilkent ở Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ và Đại học Ghent ở Bỉ, Aikaterini Michou và các cộng sự đã thẩm vấn hơn 1.000 sinh viên trường trung học và cao đẳng về động lực học hỏi và các chiến lược học tập mà họ sử dụng. Những sinh viên sợ không thành công thì thận trọng hơn, có nhiều khả năng đặt ra các mục tiêu cho phép họ cảm thấy tốt hơn về bản thân, hơn là theo đuổi các mối quan tâm mới hoặc tăng cường sự phát triển cá nhân. Họ cũng ít có khả năng sử dụng các chiến lược học tập hiệu quả nhất.

Joachim Brunstein và Peter Gollwitzer tại các trường đại học Erlangen và Konstanz ở Đức tiến hành một thí nghiệm, nơi họ nói với một nhóm người lớn trẻ họ đã thất bại trong lần đầu tiên trong hai nhiệm vụ (không phân biệt điểm kiểm tra thực tế). Những người được cho biết nhiệm vụ là một thử nghiệm về năng lực của họ và hứa hẹn trong lĩnh vực được lựa chọn của họ - hoặc là y khoa hoặc khoa học máy tính - có nhiều khả năng làm tốt hơn nhiệm vụ thứ hai hơn là những người được cho biết nhiệm vụ ban đầu là không liên quan đến sự nghiệp tương lai. Dường như khi một cá nhân thất bại trong một lĩnh vực quan trọng đối với họ, thất bại đó có thể trở thành động lực thúc đẩy chứ không phải là một động lực.

It is likely today that school children will take fewer exams than before, which are thought of as traditional method to judge a student’s academic proficiency. Instead, a student’s ability will be assessed constantly throughout the school year. Personally, I believe that this trend has its benefits and drawbacks. The reason for this trend may involve in the recognition that a student who takes too many exams is liable to suffer from pressure from their parents and peers when he or she gets bad results at school. Therefore, the option of creating fewer exams may reduce the burdens of studying on students themselves. In addition, students will have more time to improve other skills rather than concentrating on solely their studies. Consequently, they can develop better and more comprehensively. However, this is far from enough to do away with traditional exams. There should be some primary exams such as middle-term and final exams in order for students to study and accumulate knowledge. Imagine if there were not any exams, many students would probably waste their time doing such worthless things as playing violent games and even committing crime. Providing them with exams may keep them busy with their studies and curb unwanted problems arising. Besides, scores based on students’ exam results can evaluate their learning capacity more accurately and efficiently. That’s why we should not take traditional exams for granted and ignore them at any cost.
To sum up, moving away with traditional exams might not be an optimal method, which could be rejected if there were more relevant solutions to this issue.

The education is always estimated as the roof of every development in the society and it has often reformed to achieve the effective way in the assessment of students. In two recent decades, many solutions have given to shift the conventional examination method towards an examination system which exams students' ability effectively. I personally agree with this innovation and this essay will give the reasons for this statement.


On the one hand, the traditional assessment has shown its disadvantages because it was mostly based on the learning by heart skill and ability to memorize of students. The students who had a good memory often got the high point than others. Sometimes, the excellent students could be judged in a wrong way when they were suddenly sick and ill or having trouble thing on the examination days. Besides, some students could have a treat during the text happing by looking at the documents and books and the other students; some of them could be lucky when they guessed the exam questions and it came true. Therefore, due to its disadvantages, the traditional assessment examined students' ability in a not true way.


On the another hand, the innovative assessment allows educational institutions and universities to evaluate their students more exactly. The students should be the people who can give practical methods in order to solve matters in the real life. Nowadays, many universities ask their students to do thesis after each course and student's thesis or study can indicate the current problem and giving solutions for improvement of the students. Many educational educations give the oral examination. This method means the students and panel will face to face to discuss the matters. Apart from memory skill, students are asked to show other skills like the ability to communicate, persuade and so on. For example, in Law University, through the interview, students have been given a situation and they will have the chance to apply the law regulation to resolve the matter.


For the reasons I mentioned above, I strongly agree with the education reform and I believe that the more innovation assessment in education is given, the more effective results we will be received.
