Пример сочинения С2 в формате «Personal Opinion»

The matter of education is urgent and up-to-date nowadays. People have different opinions on the system of assessment in education. Some of them say that it is efficient to use the method of praise, but their opponents are for strict system of marks or grades. Now I am going to express my point of view.

I suppose it is very useful to use motivation and praise in education as one of the most important ways of encouraging. Firstly, it gives students self-confidence and stimulates to work hard because they feel teachers’ support and don’t want to betray teachers’ hopes. Secondly, it helps to make the process of education more interesting and various as it leads to enriching students’ inner world and outlook. Finally, the effective and right use of motivation and praise reflects the qualification of a teacher and supply teaching with personal attitude and emotions what is the source of perfect cooperation.

It goes without saying that there are some people who are against of it and they would like our education to be solid and based on reasonable measures and strict decisions as they think there is no place for emotions in science. I still cannot support their idea because I am sure that only emotionally presented information can be remembered and convenient environment can encourage good efforts in education.

In conclusion I should say that I strongly believe that both teachers and students prefer to work in atmosphere filled with mutual understanding and respect. It is easier to achieve great results using motivation and praise in education. 260w
