We are always told that examinations aim to check what we have learned. But I don't think so. Examination is not the best way, especially in the primary school. Examinations, composition examinations in particular, will bring students, teachers and parents a great deal of pressure. To cope with the examination, some students just remember the model essays by rote. It will do no good to the improvement of writing.
The students' scores can be measured by their daily in-class study and by the completion of their everyday homework. If we do in this way, all the students and teachers will have a pleasant time every day.
