参考答案：一、审题谋篇

首先这是一篇给出题目的议论文。对于所给题目我们并不陌生，那么对于提示中所给出的两个关于考试的正反观点——是一个好的检测方式还是不能反映人的真实能力也应该很有感触，那么很容易对这两种观点进行阐述。后，还要给出自己关于考试的观点。

二、参考例文

Examinations

There are many arguments about examination.Some people think it is a good wayto test how examinees have mastered what they have studied and it is aneffective way to choose among candidates.So, as atraditional and popular method, it is widely accepted.

However, in some people's opinion, it is not the most scientificway to test a person's ability.To some students,examination means nothing butanxiety and heavy bur-dens.What is more, teachers'judgments can't always be impartial.All these willcause frustration to examinees and provoke their strong negative attitudetowards examination.

As for me, although the content of examination can hardly coverall the knowledge an examinee has grasped and the result of an examination mayshow only part of a person's ability, its function should not be totally ignored.Its basic function is just like amirror——it reflects both examinees and examiners.Both of them can check their work and learn how to improve it.ofcourse, there is a long way to go before we could find a simpler and more effectivewayof judging a person's ability.
