1.Examination is a common means to evaluate a student’s academic achievement. But some people think universities should assess students by other ways.

Candidate 1: Examinations do more harm than good.

Candidate 2: Examinations do more good than harm.

Statement:

In my opinion I think examination does more good to the recent situation. As we can see , the exam is a common way to evaluate a student, teacher and others. Why it is commonly used not only at home but also at aboard? The reasons are as follows.

First, it is the easiest way up to now. you can’t find a better way now.

you can judge a person in a short time. It only need two or three hours.

Second, it is the fairest way. The candidate have the same access to the test, they have the same time to prepare the exam, in case of some people get in from the back door.

What’s more, so many talented was selected by the exam in china, for example , hujitao a student of tinghua university.

Free debating:

First of all , I want to say that , if there isn’t a exam , what will you do ? you can almost get nothing after a semester, because you don’t have to take a exam, so you don’t have to remember and practice, which is not good for a student to rise their ability. We work on the subject for a semester, exam is the most efficient way to test the students who really paid much effort.

Second , the exam do make much pressure to the students , but if their do not have pressure , how can the students make program?

Sum up:

To sum up, I still hold the point that the exam does more good than harm. All coins in the word has two sides, I do agree some point of you, but as you can see , in current days , this is the most scientific way ,not only from time or space , exam is still a way that can operate, you can’t come up with a better idea except this.. As for some point you just mentioned. I don’t agree. For ……….. So I still a defender of my idea

2.Which is more important for you in your life: knowledge from books you read, or personal experiences in reality?

Candidate 1: Knowledge from books is more important than experiences.

Candidate 2: Experiences is more important than knowledge from books.

开头：In my opinion I think【Experiences is more important than knowledge from books.】…………A s we can see

1.All books are in a good order, they are ordered by chapters. This could make your brain a computer, you just think in a fixed way. You will don’t

have your own idea.

2.Almost all the company offer few salary to the newly graduate students, as time goes by, the boss will pay more the worker. Why they can get more

payment? the experience played a very important role.

3.What’s more , all the books is based on the experience. If one don’t have much expe rience , I guess there is no possibility that he can make a book.

Let us see some of you relatives , even they are not well educated , they may only know few word , they even cant read, but they still make money.

Sometimes they even make more than the one who get educated.

What’s more , all the book are not all right at all . some are even wrong. If you just take in , and have no experience, you may make wrong. And some situation are not for your case, you have to experience and get a new way of yourself.

Last , if you only read books and never practice , the effort is in vain. A man can live on his own experience , but can’t live on books.
