前不久，一直寂靜無(wú)聲的全國(guó)大學(xué)四六級(jí)官網(wǎng)突然發(fā)出了四六級(jí)再次改革的通知，這次改革對(duì)象為聽力和口語(yǔ)。又一次讓人們的視線聚焦在四六級(jí)口語(yǔ)上，提出諸如這場(chǎng)口語(yǔ)考試是否必要的問(wèn)題。

作文題目：

Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?

參考范文：

A test of spoken English has been included as an optional component of College English Test (CET). Some people argue that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been informed frequently that a Chinese student who has been learning English for over ten years cannot even communicate with a native speaker. A test of spoken English will bring the college students an awareness of the importance of oral English, and will thus help them with their communicating skills.

On the other hand, some others still maintain that a good command of reading and writing skills will be enough for the English learners. To some extent their opinion derives from the fact that students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden.

In my opinion, a test of spoken English does more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak English fluently is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall spare no efforts to practice oral English in the remaining years of my college study.
