Over the last few years, school boards have increasingly utilized standardized tests to measure their students’ performance. Many people believe these tests do not accurately reflect most students’ academic abilities and should therefore be stopped. Do you agree with this opinion? What are some other ways students can be assessed for achievement?

In recent years, most
schools
and ministries of education have adopted sequential
test
-taking methods to measure student achievement. There are many people who agree with
this
.
However
, there are
also
people who think that
this
will not assess the learning ability of
students
and should be stopped. In my own opinion, I agree with
this
. The benefits of applying multiple
tests
in teaching methods. Teachers will easily control their
students
such
as good
students
, good
students
and weak
students
. From here, appropriate teaching methods will be proposed for each student. Create rewards after
tests
so
students
can learn perseverance and effort. Thanks to the regular application of
tests
and experiments.
Schools
can select excellent
students
to compete in international competitions
such
as the Olympics. Bring fame to the country.
However
,
students
are under pressure to score
due to
these
tests
and
this
situation is very alarming because there have been some cases of affecting children's nerves.
For example
, nowadays some families set the criterion that "your child must get a score of 9 in the upcoming
test
" and when the child does not get a score of 9, the family will blame him
instead
of comforting him. From here, children will easily be pressured by
test
scores
.
In addition
to using
tests
to evaluate
students
' academic achievement, there are many ways to evaluate academic ability.
Schools
, ministries of education and teachers should return lessons and regularly create games with many rewards
instead
of points.
For example
, organize a game session where teachers will ask questions related to the lesson
such
as math operations and formulas. Whoever answers correctly will be rewarded.
This
is a way to evaluate
students
' learning abilities without them being pressured by
scores
. Not necessarily applying many
tests
will grasp the learning ability of
students
because during the
test
there will be many people who cheat and study the same topic over and over again.
This
will be very difficult to control well.
Also
because of pressure on
scores
,
students
do not want to get bad
scores
, so they choose to cheat to complete the
test
well. Ultimately,
schools
should not apply many
tests
to measure student learning outcomes.
This
is a good method to control
students
.
However
, if we have too many
tests
,
students
will easily be pressured to study and worse, it can affect the child's nervous system. So let's change the method so that
students
can absorb and develop comprehensively.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
