4 points in British schools is the passing line.

A score of 4 in the examination for studying in the UK is considered as a pass, which sounds ridiculous. China's passing score is 6, and 4 is a failing score. However, in Britain, it is a fact, not a joke, that you will pass if your test score reaches 4 points.

4 points is the passing line

In China, 8 points is generally not something to show off, but the passing line is set at 4 points in the British exam, which can also be graded with 1 points. It is definitely an honor to get 8 points. Since the establishment of Queen Mary College of University of London, where I am located, there are not many students who have passed the 8% test. It is not easy for local students in Britain to get 7 points, and the ratio can be said to be one in a hundred.

For international students studying in the UK, a score of over 6 is considered as a high score. I once asked my teacher in England: Since the perfect score is 1, why not set the scoring standard higher? Few students will be too strict after 8 chapters. As a result, the teacher's reason is that the grading standards of British schools in general are very strict, especially good schools. In order to ensure the reputation of the school, the grading standards are often deliberately lowered. Because if the graduates of this school get 8 points, but the employer feels that the level of the students is not so good after employment, it will have a very bad influence on the reputation of the school, and even the unit will not hire graduates of this school in the future. However, if the students who get 7 points in this school perform well after working in the employer, which is not inferior to the graduates who get 8 points in other schools, then the teaching quality of this school will be recognized. This is also an important reason for the strict evaluation of English teaching.

The results are only open to individuals, with warm comments

At the same time of strictness, there are also exam scores in Britain? Warmth? On the other side. First of all, no matter what the grade is, the teacher must call the students to the office or the classroom alone and give them the grades face to face. Therefore, except for teachers and students themselves, others generally don't know the exam results; Secondly, no matter what the final score is, the score sheet must be full of teachers' comments. It can be seen that the teacher has read it word by word. Because all the grammatical mistakes in the paper, the teacher will mark them one by one, and then give scores and comments from the aspects of language organization, article structure and vocabulary use. Finally, teachers will find out the advantages of students from the papers and make positive comments. Therefore, even students with low total scores will generally see a lot of compliments on the grading table. This is very conducive to encouraging students to study actively.

The group can discuss, but the opinions should be independent

There are many exams in Britain that need teamwork to complete. For example, when writing a paper, the teacher will give students a list to find topics that interest them, and people who choose the same topic are generally assigned to a group. Then, the teacher will give the students a large stack of relevant materials, and the students will go back to read and take notes by themselves. After reading, the same group will discuss this topic with each other. The biggest advantage of this is that each student can save a lot of reading time, and at the same time, each student has exercised the ability to summarize and summarize the main idea in the process of relaying information to others.

But this does not mean that school education does not pay attention to independence. What English teachers often say is:? Group discussion is done by many people, but the paper must be done independently. ? All the students should extract their opinions from the group discussion. It has nothing to do with the similarity of views between students in the same group, but the reason for the discussion must be the result of independent thinking. British teachers attach great importance to students' own opinions. Generally, students who can put forward their own opinions in their papers will be well rewarded by their teachers.

Teachers are humorous in class

English teachers are famous for their rigor, but they also have a humorous side, which often makes students laugh in class. Once, the teacher who taught me oral English asked for leave, and the substitute teacher took a class. As a result, the next day, as soon as the original teacher came back to class, we were asked to list the aspects that the substitute teacher was better and worse than him in class. As a result, under his repeated reminders, we generally say that the substitute teacher is worse than him. Finally, he added a point of his own advantage, that is, he is more handsome than the substitute teacher!
