OPINION ESSAY

TOO MUCH IMPORTACE IS GIVEN TO TAKING EXAMS AT SCHOOL. DO YOU AGREE??

In my opinion exams are really important, but maybe it’s true that we give them too much importance.
Maybe, the daily work and the homework that you can do with a support are more important than the exams. If you do your homework thinking about what you are doing, you learn more than if you only study for one exam and then you forget it.

I think that maybe it would be better to do a “big work” in every subject, of course not as big as our research work.

A pupils council would be a really good project to improve some things of the education, but their responsibility… maybe is too much responsibility for a young group of pupils.

We have to mention that every child is different and each pupil needs a different attention and have different ways to study.

For example, now we are doing an English exam and…yes, of course it’s important to know the passives, the present perfect and all the grammar...but I think that maybe we could learn more doing more readings, listenings, writings…
And, the activities of class are OK, but I would prefer to learn English watching more original versions of films, writing the lyrics of the songs, reading books…

With the other subjects, like catalan or economy, it’s the same, the work in class teachs you more than one exam.

But, of course, a lot of people disagree with me, so…maybe the exams are the easiest solution to evaluate the pupils.
