3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. I agree the statement that grades can encourage students to learn. Setting marks could let students study more efficiently and effectively than other ways of teaching. There are many reasons that I support that grades should be used to teach students, and I will mention some important ones below. It can not deny that other kinds of ways of teaching without grades also inspire students. Moreover, someone argues that grades would make students focus the results instead of process of learning. However, students might loss the motivation to study hard. For example, when I studied in the graduate school, I took a part-time job to teach sigh-language in a junior high school. Because the school just wanted to plan a leisure activity for students, students could pass the class without any effort. Consequently, some of the students in that class had no interests to learn. Moreover, they often made a lot of noise and interrupted the whole class. It frustrated me a lot, but I had nothing to do. Therefore, I think grades do work to make students learn. Using marks to encourage students can be a kind of incentives. Students will learn hard to get high scores. At least, they will learn in order to pass the course. Furthermore, grades also can be a kind of feedback. If they put a lot of efforts to learn, high grades will give them a sense of achievement. On the contrary, if they got low scores, they would study hard to improve it. For example, when preparing the entrance exam of graduate school, I had spent almost seven months and studied every day. I almost sacrificed all entertainment to study. Finally, I got high scores in the exam and admission into my first choice. At that moment, I was so happy just like I had own the world. For those reasons, grades are good tools to inspire students. To sum up, students will be inspired to study hard for good performance. Though there might be some problems, such as overemphasizing on the results, if we take a closer look, grades do bring students more benefits. As long as the way of teaching could be made properly, marks absolutely are the "driving power" to lead students’ learning. 不太會寫結論 改寫philJamy的最後一段 希望philJamy不要介意呀....>.<: --
