Do we need exams? Of course, yes! The exam tests how we have mastered the material, how we do sums, how we have learned to write essays, if we know the basic historical dates, how we have learned to live safely, if we know the continents and the continents and etc. What are the test exams? In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. Sometimes someone just gets lucky, and he answers correctly. And sometimes he is out of luck. Tests may be solved without straining, just random. And it is bad, of course. I think the exam should not be a test. However, many smart people cannot pass their exams. Why? There are many reasons, and they are different. Often a person is formed only in the area where he is famous, and he knows everything about this science. Thus, the smartest physicists may not know the foreign languages or poorly verse in literature. And vice versa. Sometimes a person is smart, but it does not mean that he is educated. These are different things. As for the exams, I prefer to take exams orally, because I have more opportunities to show my knowledge, looking into the eyes of my teacher- examinator.
Нужно ли нам экзамены? Конечно, да! Экзамены проверяют как мы освоили материал, что мы умеем решать, как мы научились писать сочинения, знаем ли мы основные исторические даты, научились ли мы жить безопасно, знаем ли мы материки и континенты и так далее. Что такое тестовые экзамены? По-моему, это пустая трата времена. Иногда мне просто везет, и я отвечаю правильно. А иногда не везет. Тесты можно решать не напрягаясь, просто наугад. И это плохо. Мне кажется, экзамены не должны быть тестовыми. Однако, многие умные люди не могут сдать экзамены. Почему? Причин очень много и они разные. Часто человек образован только в той области, в которой он знаменит и знает всё. Так, умнейшие физики могут совсем не знать иностранных языков или плохо разбираются в литературе. И наоборот. Человек бывает умным, но это не значит, что он образованный. Это разные вещи. Что касается экзаменов, я предпочитаю сдавать экзамены устно, потому что у меня больше возможностей показать свои знания, глядя в глаза учителю-экзаменатору.
Usually I do not remember my dreams. I often wake up and immediately forget what I saw in a dream. But one day I had a nightmare that I cannot forget.
I dreamed that I was walking through the forest. It was late at night. The moon was barely visible through the clouds in the sky. Suddenly I heard a crackle of branches behind me. I got scared. I slowly turned around and saw a dark figure. At that moment the clouds dispersed in the sky, the moon lit up the figure and I saw that it was an elderly man with shoulder-length hair and a long beard. Suddenly he fell down on all fours and howled like a wolf. Then I saw him turning into a wolf. It was a werewolf! I wanted to run, but my legs would not obey. I screamed ... and woke up.
I realized it was just a dream, but I was so scared that I could not fall asleep and lay in bed, listening to the sounds of the night. I fell asleep just before morning. Fortunately, it was my day off and I did not have to get up early.
