Some people think that schools should reward students who show the best academic results, while others believe that it is more important to reward students who show improvements. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There is a proposition that students who achieve the highest performance should be applauded while others insist that compliments and rewards are better offered to those who exert significant strides in their study. These two categories of students all deserve praise and some forms of financial aids and

I firmly believe that the debate on who should be given more

Firstly
, academic result is a convenient criteria in assessing the performance of students since it is quantitative measure which is scientifically designed to classify learners into various strata. In some cases, it is nearly impossible to quantify “improvement” made by students since at the onset they may come from different countries, different background and are not even evaluated

Finally
, it is argued that it seems easier to make significant improvement at a lower level of academic performance, and
therefore
, using “improvement” measure becomes an unfair comparison measure towards high achievers.
On the other hand

Next
, those living in poverty should not be forgotten since they could still accomplish “achievements” while struggling with life out of the classroom. The typical example is that

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
