  1. I'm not sure that I'm lucky enough to get a response, but in any case, it doesn't hurt if I post my writing here: “The best way to teach is to praise positive actions and ignore negative ones.” Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position. The statement claiming that the best teaching method is to appreciate positive acts and ignore negative ones relies on the efficacy of positive thinking: that the learner will be encouraged and motivated if their strong points are appreciated by the instructor. While there is some truth in the recommendation, this too strong claim ignores the importance of learning from mistakes. Before explaining why the statement in this absolute form can’t hold true, let me begin by mentioning some merits of the recommendation, The traditional method of teaching focused on the weaknesses and negative actions of the learner, as tough the positive ones were taken for granted: In other words, the student was supposed to be do things perfectly. Accordingly, punishment, rather than reward, was the main tool to correct the mistakes. This made learning a painful and unpleasant experience, since the student should always wait for being scolded and punished for their possible negative acts. In contrast to this method, the statement invites us to praise the students for what she does well, and instead, forget the mistakes. This would make learning a pleasant experience, as in contrary to the other method, students can always expect praises and rewards. It’s easy to see that this kind of teaching can be especially beneficial in specific cases: for example, consider a shy student that is not confident about her abilities: praises based on her real positive acts can give her back the confidence she lacks, while not mentioning her problems can help her stop her habitual negative thinking. However, there are serious problems with the recommendation, since while it’s essential to emphasize the positive side, it’s equally important to not forget the negative side. For one thing, the main aim of teaching is to help students to improve. Thus they need to know and work on their problems and weaknesses. In fact, sooner or later, when they are to utilize what they learnt in real life, they will find out their problems. But then, it’s much more difficult to change those habits that have been unnoticed for years: Consider a young person looking for a job: How can she cope with the problems of the world of business, if she wasn’t been told and helped with weaknesses by her teachers before? The world is too cruel to give her many chances to correct herself. Secondly, in some respect, acknowledging your negative acts can be more helpful than being appreciated for your positive one. It is so, since negative acts can reveal some essential weaknesses in us, so knowing and correcting them can help the student to prevent similar problems in the future. For example, if a student’s performance in exams is below her real knowledge, it might show that she has some problems coping with pressure. Thus, first acknowledging the problem and then finding a plan to resolve it, can help her prevent many more problems likely to happen to her in stressful situations. Thirdly, from the psychological point of view, while it’s important to give student enough confirmation and confidence, it’s as important to not make her have a distorted picture of herself; as tough she does everything perfectly. In fact, just praising someone for what she does well, leads to pseudo-confidence, because, sooner or later, in face of real problems, she will notice that she is not as perfect as she thought, hence the unrealistic image of herself disappears. This means that while praising someone for her good points can help her become confident, ignoring the negative one can even remove the good effects of the justified praise. Overall, the best teaching method would consider both positive and negative acts: How much we need to emphasize on one or another, depends on circumstances: For example, maybe the student is over-confident, so she should be more aware of her problems. Or perhaps, the situation is totally the opposite. The bottomline is that an efficient teaching method should take both sides into consideration, what the traditional method and the statement don’t do.
  2. Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Comprehending the past is crucial to tackling present and future obstacles." My essay There are some people who think that as we are living in rapidly changing society understanding the past is no longer that important as it was in the past. However I personally think that trying to harness what our past can teach us is still important because many events that are happening today have similar counterparts in the past, and there are many instances where we find clues to problems that seem to be very new and unfamiliar to us. To begin with, if we have some knowledge in human history, we can find some events that occurred in different countries and different era, but have a lot of similarities with one another. There can be many explanations for it, but I think the reason is, although we are all different people and have different lifestyles, we are all basically the same in that we are all humans, which means that people who lived in different times with us can sometimes have very similar experiences with us and can face similar circumstances that we do now. Thus, it may be safe to say that the lessons they have learned and solutions they have found can still prove to be valid today in solving today’s problems. But of course, there are also many problems that seem to be quite new to us, leading us to think that the ways of the past are not useful to solve them. It may be true, but if we scrutinize those seemingly new problems carefully, sometimes we will find that we can find some clues to solve them from the old solutions. There are many examples in some fields of science, such as organic chemistry, where we sometimes find that a previously unheard-of finding is obtained through combining already well-known processes in a new way, or some breakthrough is obtained by just reorganizing previously known knowledges in a more efficient way. These examples are numerous, which suggests that useful insights can be gained through deep understanding of previous knowledges, and it may possibly lead to solving current or future problems. To sum up, as we may face similar problems that existed in the past we may rely on previous knowledge to solve those problems, and although in some case the problem can seem to lack previous examples, we still can obtain important clues to tackle them by thoroughly examining the past. In this regard, I must say that I think, the importance of comprehending the past cannot be overstated. Any form of feedback is welcome :)
  3. Hello, I am a beginner, and have just wrote an essay, but I don't know if there are some problems that might interfere with getting a good score, hence this post.

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 + X + Y - Z Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be a) 27 b) 0.0 c) 20 d) 18 Ans: 20 pls provide explanations is possible Thnx in advance........
