题目：8.11 Agree or disagree with the following statement: it is more important to award students for effort (trying or hard working) than for achievement (good grades)


Generally speaking, when we mention the performance of students at school, our first response is to ask the grades of the classes. People always consider the students who have the best graeds are the best one who are most likely to succeed at last. Thus many teachers and parents prefer to reward the students according to the grades. However, even though I can not deny the role of stimulating, I should claim that it is more important to award students for their effort.
In fact, the grades cannot always correctly signify the performance of students. Some students who have more knowledge than others perhaps could get worse grades in the exams. For example, one of my best friends, who is good at physics and always solve the problems more accurately and sooner than us, cannot accustom to the atmosphere of exams. During the exam, he always felt sick so that got bad grades in the exam. But no one doubt his ability of physics. And once we encouter some physics problem, we resorted to him. If we just awarded him based on his grades, it would be greatly unfair.
As we know, the aim of education is to inform students knowledge and let them know how to study. Most importantly, teachers should help students make the hard working habit of study. Perhaps you can not understand all the knowledge, but if you learn to work hard at school, the probability to succeed would be increased. There is an English saying, the success is the result of 99 percentage of effort plus 1 percentage of luck. The knowledge is less important than the attitude and habit of hard-working.
There is a more factual reason for awarding effort. Compared with achievment, hard-working is more accessible for us. We can always work hard and struggle to succeed, but the results are not necessarily good. If we just award for achivevement, the role of stimulating would be so little to affect people. In addition, enough effort is the premise of the achievement. To help people to hold on until the end, we should try to promote them during the process of struggling. So awarding for effort would be more helpful.
In a word, the influences of achievement are more superficial than those of effort. To prompt students more efficiently, we should learn to commend them for their efforts.
