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

Most schools
reward
 students who perform well in their examinations. Some people,
however
, feel that
instead
 of giving prizes to academic toppers, schools should appreciate the hard
work
 of students who show great progress by rewarding them. In my opinion, toppers as well as those who show progress need to be rewarded. Rewards motivate students to
work
 harder and achieve better results. Everybody loves to get prizes. Toppers are no different. When the school appreciates their hard
work
 with prizes, they will be motivated to
work
 even harder. What’s more, their performance will
also
 inspire other students to study harder and improve their grades. If the school does not
reward
 them, at least, some of them will lose the motivation and that may reflect in their grades. At the same time, toppers are not the only students who need to be appreciated. Students who show
great

greater
 progress should
also
 be rewarded for their hard
work
. Just knowing that the school appreciates their efforts will be a motivation for them and they will want to improve their performance by working harder. Rewards are given for a reason. As human beings, we all crave appreciation. When others recognize our efforts, we will want to
work
 even harder and achieve greater results. If schools only
reward
 academic toppers, others may assume that prizes are not meant for them. In that case, they will give up even without making an effort to get better grades. If,
on the other hand
, the schools
also
reward
 students showing improvement, more and more students will want to improve their grades. To conclude, rewards encourage all students to
work
 harder.
Therefore
, in my opinion, not only the toppers, but students showing improvement
also need
Suggestion
is also needed
 to be rewarded.
