Some say children should be give enough freedom to commit mistakes so that learning will be free and fun, but there are some who claim that it is a good to instruct children not to make mistakes so that they would be cautious and their learning time-saving.

• Which view do you support and state why?


Should children be given enough opportunities to make mistakes so that they can learn things easily? Or children should be trained in such a way that they do not make any mistakes so that learning will be more effective and time saving? Opinions differ. This essay tries to explain how children are benefited by free learning with enough opportunities to make errors.

To begin with, psychologists have proved that “trial and error” is an easy method of learning. They have proved it by doing experimentations on animals. So, with the aid of genuine examples, it can be argued that making mistakes is a better way of learning things. It can also be added that committing errors helps children to find other ways to find solutions all by themselves. A wrong once corrected by will get set permanently in children’s minds.

Additionally, when children are allowed to make mistakes, they will be in a more relaxed mood which is essential for leaning. This will eventually let them score high. It can also be seen that pupils brought up in a relaxed environment are more enthusiastic than those coming from stringent backgrounds.

On the contrary, when children are slowed to make mistakes, it is necessary that there should be a competent person to correct them. Moreover, it is not uncommon that, once a child is allowed to make an error, he or she may deliberately try to make mistakes next time thinking that somebody is there to guide them. This will hamper their creativity. Even though children who are given strict instructions not to commit mistakes work hard to improve their learning process, they definitely lose some sort of creative thinking.

In short, I would personally suggest that, in order to mould a generation that is sharp in mind and shaped in body, should be given some freedom to make errors so they can correct themselves and learn more.

An essay by a student who came from the UK for just an orientation: ielts






Factors affecting workers’ performance

An answer by one of my students.

The bar chart illustrates the result of survey conducted by a personnel department on employees of two age groups 19-30 and 45-60 to find out what all factors mattered when it came to their performance.

It can be seen that, of all the people surveyed, both youngsters and older people, expressed the view that their performance at job was influenced by money. Similarly, almost same amount of people suggested that team spirit was the second factor affecting their performance.

Among those people aged 45-60 years, almost equal number of people gave importance to competent boss, promotion prospects and job satisfaction. Only 20% of older people suggested job security as an influencing factor for their work performance.

However, more than 80% of young workers considered that chance for personal development, relaxed working environment and promotion prospects as influential. Also work environment was suggested by the least number of people who were surveyed.

Over all it may be said that factors affecting performance differ substantially when age differs, but there are a few common general factors for all.

That is the end of the report.
