This text is for questions 1 to 3.
Many people say that examinations should be
abolished because they are not the best measure of
student’s capabilities. These people believe that students
can study on their own and do better without the nagging
worry and pressure exerted by examinations.
Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that
examinations should not be abolished. It is insufficient
that teachers assign homework and correct it. Because this
is not done under supervision, they cannot be sure that it is
really the work of the students themselves. Moreover,
homework is not a test of student’s ability. Homework is a
method of merely keeping him occupied.
Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to
produce some evidence of their capabilities. Prospective
employers like to see copies of examination results. This
is the only way a student’s qualifications can be judged.
This attitude greatly encourages the use of examinations,
since it is considered it necessary for them to measure
their capabilities.
