Task 1

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn. Use specific reasons and examples to support  your opinion.

a.      My reason and example

I think the value is some kind of special point to judge the students if he is smart or not, diligent or lazy and much more. In addition it is also value in use to determine a student passed or otherwise.

It is seldom the student use score as a competition between friends. Who gets the highest score that great or he can say the cleverest. But not always, it all depends on how our efforts in study. Therefore the value become encourage to always study.

With all factor that made the value is important students will encourage to keep study to get a good score. Good score give a plus point for the person. People who get good score will get more trust from his/her friends. Because they think he/she can help them in learning and understanding some problem.

Value can also be presented as motivation or prize for them who study well. I think that two things are connected, the value motivate people to learn. And also if people study well of course they will get a good score. So that way “Grades (marks) encourage students to learn”.

For example students in university, if students wants to graduate or pass to the next semester there is some condition that he has to fulfilled. In addition a good score, to achieve that of course they have to study hard. So they can achieve good score and can pass to the next semester.

As a result you can conclude that value is take an important part to motivate people on there study or learning progress. As well as a goal that you want to achieve, in the process of course we have to do something. So value is a goal we want to achieve and the process to get it by learning.
