Grades and Ability
The argument whether high grades indicate high ability has lasted for quit
e a long time. Until now, people will agree that there is some relation between
grades and ability, but no one can make sure whether high grades will lead to hi
gh ability or not. Some think that grades can reflect students’ ability in their
academic pursuit. The higher their grades, the smarter they must be. Otherwise,
the system of matriculating will neglect students’ entrance score and the entra
nce examination will be abandoned. In the competition for grades, it is hard to
be a winner and easy to be a loser. Students with high grades are respected. 
On the contrary, other people hold different opinions. They think that hig
h grades don’t necessarily mean superior ability. The so called top students som
etimes are very low in solving practical problems such as fixing a machine or in
stalling an appliance. They are often called book-worms. However, the so called
low students may show their intelligence in a special field. Han Han is an examp
le. He is an senior high school student who cannot pass the examinations in seve
ral subjects. But no one doubts his ability in writing.
In my opinion, grades are really important for most students because admis
sion to good schools and colleges as well as successful application for nice job
s depend on good grades. The school admission officers and potential employers u
se grades to assess students’ abilities. But grades are not the sole criterion f
or students’ abilities. Academic advancement should be combined with excellent m
anifestation in practicality. In short, both the mind and the hands should be de
veloped together, so that we not only know how to do the job, but also can do it
with our own hands.
