背景介绍:
【外教挑战湖北英语卷 第一题就傻眼】老外考英语,会不会轻而易举?两位美籍外教"尝鲜"湖北英语高考卷。不料,刚看到语法题第一题就大叫:错得离谱!写作和口语永远不会说、也不会用这样的语式。不少语法题都惨遭"吐槽"。他们不明白,学生为什么要花大量时间在这些题上。
Have you ever been curious about what would it be if native English speakers did our test papers?
The two foreign teachers have shown us a thought provoking result. The stiffness of the expression manner even made them puzzled. “We never spoke like that! ”, they said and couldn’t understand why the students spend so much time on those questions.
Like the news above, a similar story happen on one of my friends 2 months ago. After coming back from Japan, he told me that many grammars we have learnt are hardly used among the locals. What we have learnt are only used in our exams!
话题:
Under the background of examination-oriented education, how should we choose between the local foreign languages and the so-called standard grammar for exams?
范例1:
English speakers are beaten by English test papers? Native Japanese can’t understand the standard grammars? If you are not surprised at all, you are in China!
English exam may be the nightmare of many students during the school days. Facing the flooding exercises and test papers,they are forced to recite the words and grammars like machines. However, it is easy to find out that many so-called “top students” even can’t speak English fluently. They always get high grades and enjoy the praise from parents and teachers without realizing that they are learning “Dumb English”.
From the phenomenon above, I think something should be done to narrow the gap between the examination-oriented education and the real communication. After all, languages is a kind of tool for idea exchanges but not exams.
范例2:
A standardized examination is supposed to gauge the ability of the student. Students work extremely hard, coping with tremendous pressure, in order to obtain high scores on these tests. From news reports, however, it seems that the standard of these tests may not be so standard after all. On a foreign language test, when there are grammatical questions which an educated native speaker of said language does not comprehend, it makes students wonder the legitimacy of such a test. Since the results of these standardized tests determine the future of students, it is of vital importance that these test questions be put under scrutiny prior to being published.
