My Views on Examination
Nowadays the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject in most colleges and universities. Although it is efficient, its side effects are also enormous.
On the one hand, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. Nosubjectsjcan.be taught successfullywith jjntenttojtake.examinations. On the other hand, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. A the examinations corejis the only criterion for his academic performance students driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.
In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations? (153 words)
譯文賞析：
我對考試的看法
現在在大多數學院和大學，考試被用來衡量學生在學習某門課程上 是成功還是失敗的主要方法。雖然這很有效，但它也有很大的副作用。
一方面，考試降低了教學標準。由于經常通過考試成績來評判老師， 他們就會降低要求至只訓練學生的考試技巧。以參加考試為目標的話， 沒有課程能被成功地教授。另一方面，最有害的影響就是，考試助長了 學生不好的學習習慣。由于考試成績是評斷他學習表現的唯一標準，學 生被迫機械地記憶，而不是進行創造性的思考。
事實上，我們中很少有人承認考試對學生學業的發展有任何真正重 要的作用。如果真的是這樣的話，為什么我們不做個改變，設計出一些 比考試更有效更可靠的東西呢?
