Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after school. Discuss both views and give your opinion

It is often argued by some that pupils with the highest grades should be

motivates them to develop more in academics. On the one hand, some people hold the view that students of top rank should be awarded. They believe

this

because it is fair, and they should be rewarded for their hard work.

That is

to say, students usually strive to attain the

first

rank in the class, and the best way to pay off for their hard work is by rewarding them.

However

prizes but

prizes, but

for their self-satisfaction and the future.

For instance

, a survey conducted by Cambridge University in 2011 found that students study and achieve

On the other hand

, others hold the opinion that it is better to reward those who develop the most over a term as they will be motivated by doing so. I agree with

this

point of view because, rewarding someone while he is trying hard to achieve the best, influences him to keep working without giving up, and takes him to the highest level one day.

For example

, when I was a teacher, I used to honour and encourage the students, who were trying hard to improve the most, and most of them reached the top level by the end of the final semester. In conclusion,

although

there are strong arguments to reward top ranked students, I believe honouring those who are keep improving over and over will motivate them to reach the top level and succeed one day.
