There are many arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of examination.Some people think examination is the only best way to test how examinees have mastered what they have studied and it is the only measurement for examiners to select which persons they need.While, on the other hand,some object that examination can't measure how the students have really studied.They say it can do nothing but burden the students.
As for me,I think for both examiners and examinees,the examination can show what and how much the examinees have mastered.The results of examinations are just like mirrors for both examiners and examinees.
Through examination the examinees can check their work and get aware of which aspects they have not done well,so that they'll make much improvement in their work.As far as examinees are concerned,they can not only know how they have studied but also find out what they still unknown or what they haven't mastered well.Thus,they will be inspired to greater efforts to improve their studying method so as to make greater progress.Of course too many examinations are burbens to both examiners and examinees.
In sum,the examination does more good than harm for both examiners and examinees.We must take a correct attitude towards examination.We should take full advantage of it and avoid its disadvantage.
