8.7 - Writing — Focus 5 - Workbook by Daniel Brayshaw and Tomasz Siuta from Pearson Education
Question
Read the task and the model letter and underline arguments that refer to the three bullet points in the task.
- Allowing Internet access during exams goes against the whole idea of traditional evaluation and would mean a complete redesign of the assessment process.
- Students won't retain core subject knowledge if they can simply copy facts from websites during exams.
- What is the point of, for example, a language exam, if students can just use an online translation tool? Exams are easier than they were these days anyway, without dumbing them down even further by allowing Internet access.
