参考 Test
As students, we have a lot of tests. Tests make us tense, but we can learn lots of knowledge. Tests make our parents and teachers think that marks are more important than abilities. Teachers like the students who have good grades and this make the students who have bad grades very depressed. Some students even cheat to get high marks.
I think abilities are more important than knowledge. Tests shouldn’t be the only way to evaluate students.
