　　作文范文：Grades and Ability

　　The argument whether high grades indicate high ability has lasted for quite 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 high ability or not. Some think that grades can reflect students’ ability in their academic pursuit. The higher their grades, the cet6w.com be. Otherwise, the system of matriculating will neglect students’ entrance score and the entrance 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 high grades don’t necessarily mean superior ability. The so called top students sometimes are very low in solving practical problems such as fixing a machine or installing 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 example. He is an senior high school student who cannot pass the examinations in several subjects. But no one doubts his ability in writing.?

　　In my opinion, grades are really important for most students because admission to good schools and colleges as well as successful application for nice jobs depend on good grades. The school admission officers and potential employers use grades to assess students’ abilities. But grades are not the sole criterion for students’ abilities. Academic advancement should be combined with excellent manifestation in practicality. In short, both the mind and the hands should be developed together, so that we not only know how to do the job, but also can do it with our own hands.
