#16 Speech entitled : ' The advantages and Disadvantages of Examinations' * Example *

      A very good morning to Mrs Nathan and my fellow classmates. The topic of my speech today is ' The Advantages and Disadvantages of examinations'.
   
       We come to school to learn. To measure how much we know, a system is devised to test our knowledge. This system is made up of test and examinations. One of the advantage of having examination is that by testing we know how well the the students understands and know the subject they have learnt. A teacher will be in a better position to impart the requires knowledge to us.

        Another advantage is that with examinations, we will be force to study whether we like it or not. For those who are good in their studies, they will work harder to improve their grades. Imagine a school without examinations, students will be left to do as they like. In the end, we would be like an uneducated generation who have wasted precious years in school doing nothing much.

        But examinations also have their disadvantages. With examinations, many students will learn their facts and figures by heart. This is not the correct method of learning. Many students will memories information without understanding them. Learning without understanding is unhealthy. It will not create a thinking society.

         Another disadvantages is that examinations are not true reflections of students' abilities. A student who passes with the best grades in an examination true learning by heart may not be as good as one who did not do well in the same examination due to factor like sickness.

          Finally, examinations do not test on moral values. Thank you.
