In the picture we can see a girl. She is in her late teens. She is wearing a grey turtleneck sweater and a bracelet on her right hand. I think she is supposed to be studying because she has got a book in front of her. I suppose it is an encyclopedia Her facial expression tells us that she is bored and not interested in studying. She is supporting her head on her right hand and there is a dissatisfied grimace on her face. She is probably at the risk of having to repeat the year and her parents want her to improve her grades.

1. What’s your favourite subject and why?
   
2. Do you think that exams are the best way of testing students’ knowledge?

1. My favourite subject is English. Nowadays, English has become the lingua franca and it enables us to communicate worldwide. Furthermore, more and more employers want their employees to speak English as a lot of jobs involve travelling abroad. In this day and age, learning English is just not a pleasing pastime but a necessity. I am glad that I have an opportunity to learn English at school.
2. In my opinion exams are not the best measure of students’ skills and knowledge. In majority, students sitting an exam are usually afraid of failing it and it has an adverse impact on their results. I think that the form of test should change, students should not feel that they are taking part in a rat race.
