We live in a world full of competition, part of which includes examinations. Unfortunately, our fate and future are determined by it. We need to pass the College Entrance Exam to enter university; excel in interviews to obtain a job; pass the driving test to acquire a driver’s license. Examinations take place in everyday life of common people; hence we have got too accustomed to it to realize its negative side.

The facts speak for themselves that examinations have become a yardstick of success and failure in today’s society. Its efficiency of measurement may explain part of its popularity, but does it truly reflect a person’s ability and aptitude

It is vital to make such a fact clear that examinations cannot test what we know, but what we remember. A student with a good memory may find it very effective to cram all the knowledge into mind before examinations. In this sense, it is very unfair for the students who work hard all the time. Since no one performs at his best all the time, examinees are no exceptions. Some unexpected accidents happened to them like a sudden headache will affect the outcome, thus fail the student.

I would like to put forward my heart-felt proposal that one day some more scientific and humanized method will replace the old tradition. With efforts from educationists and other related professionals, hopefully, it will not remain a dream only.

我们生活在一个充满竞争的世界里，其中一部分包括考试。不幸的是，我们的未来被它决定着。我们需要通过高考进入大学;通过面试货的工作;通过车试获得驾照。考试存在于每个人的生活中，因此我们得意识到它的负面性。

事实不言自明，在当今社会考试成为了测量成功与失败的标准。也许正因为这样才如此的流行，但是这真的能够测出一个人的能力和天赋么?

至关重要的是，事实上，考试并不能测试我们所知道的东西，而是我们记得的。一个记忆好的学生很容易在考试前死记硬背下所有的知识点。就这种意义来说，这对学得很辛苦的学生来说是很不公平的。但没人能够从始至终都表现得很好的，考试也不例外。意想不到的事情总会发生，例如突然的头痛会影响结果，然后学生可能就会失利。

我衷心地提议，有一天通过教育者和相关人士的努力，会有更加科学，更加人性化的模式来替代这种旧传统。希望这不会只是一个梦想。
