Well…. I guess most of people just study for scores. Because you must have a high score in order to be approved…

It's awful… we should value what we learn, and not the score that we get on a test… =/

Your English is not really bad :)

Though we all care about scores throughout studying periods, but let's look at the bright side and forget about the materialistic life; learning everyday increases your knowledge and expands your discoveries in this wonderful life.

Be happy and study!

I think  every student in Asia face a lot of difficuties in schoolwork even we don't want.

But, what can we do?

Sometimes, i'm upset, too.

Why should I go to school very seriously, do not get good results in.Just face the matter, and you will feel better.

I study for scores and knowledge at the same time. In order to study in a famous university in the future, I realy need to focus much attention on the scores I have. That is the reason for we resort to different kinds of key to get the high mark. An academic degree also help us apply for a good position because every employer will take our scores into consideration. The degree which we have is determining factor in finding a job.However, knowledge that we learn at school isn't in vain, we can also apply both technique and knowledge in our career and daily life.
