Some people say that only a student with good marks in high school and secondary school should be allowed to go to university? do you agree or disagree

Over the years, there has been an ongoing debate about whether universities should admit only students with the highest grades. I strongly disagree with the view that academic scores alone should determine university admission. Several reasons support

opinion. One major reason is that grades do not always reflect a

true ability or potential. Academic performance can be influenced by various factors

as stress, personal issues, or even luck during examinations.
For instance

This

example illustrates that intelligence and creativity cannot be accurately measured by academic marks alone. Another important reason is that there are alternative ways to assess a

academic results play a role in assessing students’ knowledge, they should not be the sole criterion for university admission. A fair and inclusive system should consider a range of factors that reflect both intellectual ability and personal potential.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.
