That is Banking Exam Scores. Here is an example. Matt got 59 in the first exam. Then he borrowed 1 score to help him pass the exam. In the next exam, he got 61. And he must return the score he borrowed. As a result, he passed both exams. However, discussion on Banking Exam Scores soon takes place on the Inter. Zack: While it can build students’ confidence, it can also make them feel that it’ s fine to fail an exam. Students will depend on the “ score bank ” too much and not make progress. Besides, I will fail to know my children’ s real exam results, as their scores will not show their real ability. Gee: As a student, I think it’ s very hard to get high scores all the time. After not getting the expected scores, many students, especially excellent ones, lose confidence. The “ score bank” will build their confidence and help them remain active. What’ s more, returning scores will develop selfcontrol. I hope my college will think about this way, too . Charlie: I don’ t agree. Students may form a bad habit, spending much more than they can afford. Borrowing scores is like borrowing money from banks. If those students cannot return the scores, they will lose again and again. They may put themselves under more pressure. Kate: It’ s a clever idea. In my parents’ eyes, the score means everything. But that’ s not true. The “ score bank” provides us with a proper way to solve the problem. It not only lowers our pressure of failing an exam, but also encourages us to study harder to return the scores we borrowed. All in all, it helps us study in an easy way. ( )61.

While many native English speakers set up websites to help Chinese learners with their English, a British teenager has found a special way— she set up a website to help Chinese parents choose English names for their children. The teenager is 17yearold Beau Jessup from Gloucestershire, England. She came up with the idea during a family trip to China. “ When I went to China, my parents’ friends there kept asking me to name their babies. From them I knew an English name is very important in China nowadays because you can’ t use a Chinese name in s or a university application to the UK. And your English name stays with you for life. However, since some Chinese parents don’t know much about English culture, they may use the names they’ ve heard from films or read online, resulting in unsuitable or even embarrassing names being chosen.” Realizing there was a chance to help Chinese people get it right from the beginning, Jessup set up her website . She usually charges(收費 )60 pernce for every child she names, and sends 3 possible suggestions to the parents by WeChat. She explains the chosen names are based on the child’ s personalit
