Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the
College English Test (CET).
范文:
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the
College English Test (CET). Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary
to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been told many times
that a Chinese student who has been learning English for years cannot
communicate with a native English speaker. Sometimes even those top students who
excel at grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express
their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken English will bring the
importance of speaking English to the awareness of the college students, and
thus help them with their communicating skills.
On the other hand, there are also people who maintain that good reading and
writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. College
students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another
required test will only add to their burden. Also, some students may take the
shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the
test, which will not actually improve their spoken English.
I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since
China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak
fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly
competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall make all efforts to
practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.
