It is reasonable to offer prizes to the high-level performers. This is because one needs to pay a greater amount of effort than others in order to earn a higher grade in the exams.
Top performers normally act as a facilitator to encourage other students to work harder and they can create a competitive learning environment at the school. Rendering those elite students rewards like scholarships or honors has been justified as a feasible way to inspire students.
Academic study is also a kind of competition, which should abide by the rule of fairness and reward the best performers.
NO
Those best students are relatively few in a class. If we only pay attention to those high-level learners and ignore the rest of the students, their enthusiasm for study, to a large degree, might be reduced.
It is necessary for teachers to give certain awards to those who put considerable efforts in the study. The extrinsic reward provided to them is a motivator for further study since a sense of accomplishment can boost their confidence and help them get great improvements in later study.
Those who have made improvements in their study should be rewarded because it is a kind of recognition of their efforts and industry.

Should We Only Reward the Best Students?
Rewarding top students is normally considered as an effective approach to recognize their achievements and inspire other students. But some people argue that although the best students deserve to be rewarded, it is more important to encourage those who show remarkable improvement since they have paid unremitting effort in their study.
My stand is that prizes should also be awarded to students who make conspicuous progress in their academic study. Firstly, education is based on the belief that it will make people more excellent, and encouraging those most improved students will be one of the best ways to fulfill that goal. Moreover, students differ greatly in their talents and living environment. Students from poverty-stricken families may not prevail over the best ones in study, but that doesn’t mean they can’t succeed in their future career. Therefore, spiritual or economic encouragement is likely to stimulate them to tackle seemingly impossible tasks. In addition, to reward the most improved students can not only boost their confidence but also enhance students’ competitive spirit.
In sum, only rendering outstanding students rewards may dampen the others’ enthusiasm, so to encourage both types of students will be a feasible way to establish aspiring learning atmosphere.

是否应该让年轻人担任政府要职?

Should young people undertake important positions in the government? This issue has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions.

Young leaders who have been well educated are more likely to have a deeper understanding of cultural difference, and they can empathize with other employees and clients much better. Today, empathy plays a key role in retention of talents.
Compared with the senior leaders, young directors can apply the latest technology and theory into practice, and this can counteract negative stereotype of management and greatly improve productivity.
A distinct merit emerging from youngsters working on such positions is the improvement of government efficiency. Admittedly, a majority of governmental agencies are thirsty for high-efficiency operation so that they can provide better services for the public.
NO
Youngsters might make incorrect decisions that hamper government work due to their lack of work experience and analyzing capabilities when facing significant problems.
Elderly people have better cognitive skills, such as big-picture thinking and long-term vision. It is because years of work experience and failures teach them to take every aspect into consideration before making important decisions.
Since the senior leaders have already overcome countless difficulties and challenges prior, they can quickly adjust their mood in turmoil and lift the morale of the whole organization.

Should Young People Undertake Important Positions in the Government?
Nowadays, whether young people should hold important posts in the government has become a controversial issue. Many citizens tend to distrust young leaders’ working abilities due to their age and inexperience. However, some people believe that youngsters are eligible for leadership roles because of their innovation and vitality.
From my point of view, I’m inclined to elect young people as leaders although older leaders have more credibility and influence. To begin with, young leaders can take more decisive measures to tackle corruption and neglect of duty since they have less interpersonal problems to worry about. Moreover, with youngsters undertaking senior positions, efficiency in handling affairs will be highly improved so as to keep the government innovative and productive. Finally, young leaders are more open-minded and easier to take in new things, which can facilitate the enforcement of new policies.
To sum up, old leaders have to be continually replaced by new ones, which is an unalterable law of nature, so young people should be given opportunities to exercise leadership. And yet there is no denying that young leaders have a lot to learn from the old, since the senior leaders have rich work experience and long-term vision.
