Whether Award or Punishment Can Give an Influence
Whether award or punishment can give an influence to me when I study. I will be motivated to learn more one lesson when there’s an award to my result. On the contrary, I will be down, even I will hate the lesson, when there is a kind of punishment.
For example, when I was in senior high school, I got a really great mark for my English exam and my teacher gave me some compliments and invited me to be the member of English Club in my school (I consider it is a kind of award). Then, I became more enthusiastic to learn more and more. While in Biology, the teacher often gave some punishment to the students who came late or got a bad mark by giving so many assignments and saying something unpleasant to hear. So, I do not like biology lesson and not really understand the material until now.
In conclusion, I learn more when I am awarded because I feel appreciated and I learn less when I am punished because I feel that my hard work is useless.
