It is hard to imagine modern life without computers. Computers are often being regarded as one of the finest inventions ever made in the history of mankind. Some people hold the opinion that computers have made life easier and more convenient , but others take a negative attitude. In my opinion, I agree that computers provide many opportunities for people and also they help people for many subjects. 

Firstly, one of the main advantage of computers is that people can learn a lot of information by using internet. For example,with 'google' the largest searching motor you can find everything you want to know. 

Secondly, another important advantage of computers is that people comunicate each other by using email. Before this, people had to write mail on the paper and this mail was reached receiver one or two days later. On the other hand, by computer, mail reach reciever one or two minutes later. Additionally, It makes easy many works in bussiness life. This method also help to decrease telephone bills because many people prefer sending email instead of calling.

In conclusion, i think in general computers have more positive effects than negative, and it is a grate innovation in the history of mankind.

Do you agree or disagree if grades (marks) encourage students to learn ? I agree with this statement, because examinations are a good way for a student to review what students have learned; test scores are a standard measurement for students learning ability and knowledge level; and the test system can benefit their future.

First, tests are important for students learning. Attending classes is not enough for students to learn the subjects no matter how carefully they listen to what teachers say. They need examinations to review the lessons. In most cases, grades or marks are the only means by which teachers measure students learning ability and learning progress. Therefore, grades encourage students to study for examinations, and it is good system for them to learn the subjects.
Secondly, test scores are a standard measurement for students learning ability and knowledge level. Most people would agree with this, therefore universities all over the world take test results as a standard measurement to give admission to new students, to offer fellowships, and to decide whether to grant a student graduation. High school teachers use test results as a means to evaluate the effects of teaching, and students learning progress. By test scores, teachers also know each individual student’s ability to learn.

The conclusion is marks can stimulate student to learn, and good marks can give them advantages in going to a good university and finding a good job. Therefore I strongly support the statement that marks can encourage students to learn.
