A test of spoken English will be included as a component of College English Test.Many people consider it necessary to adopt such a test.For one thing,fluent speaking ability is badly needed in today’s society,a society that is experiencing reform and wider opening to the outside world.For another,in a more competitive society such as ours today,fluent spoken English usually becomes that ounce more advantage you have to beat your rivals in competing for a position having much appeal for both of you.All these point to the indispensability of a spoken English test.
Some people,however,take a different attitude.They regard the test as being unnecessary.Fluent spoken English,they argue,does not necessarily mean bringing a better job,for sometimes,opportunity plays a more important role.Furthermore,many people do not use spoken English at all in their work.
Personally speaking,I am really in favor of the test because it can encourage college students to try every means to improve their spoken English,which will benefit them forever.Thus I decide to make use of every opportunity to practise my spoken English,and surely it will do me much good.
