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.
英语口语测试将包括一个可选的组件。有人认为，在中国举办英语口语考试是绝对必要的，因为我们已经说过很多次，一个学习英语的中国学生不能用英语交流。有时甚至那些擅长语法和写作技巧的学生发现自己的英语不足以表达他们的思想。英语口语测试将对大学生的认知能力带来一定的意义，从而帮助他们与学生交流的技能。
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.
另一方面，也有人认为，良好的阅读和写作技能对普通英语学习者来说是足够的了。大学生已经从他们的课程相当大的压力下。另一个要求的测试只会增加他们的负担。此外，一些学生可能会采取的快捷方式，只有练习的问题，根据测试的固定格式，这将不会真正提高他们的英语口语。
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.
我相信一个英语口语考试会做弊大于弊。中国将继续开放和改革的政策，能说流利的英语是任何想要在竞争激烈的社会中超越他人的必须的。不管我是否参加考试，我都会努力练习在大学的其他几年的英语口语。
