is a test of spoken english necessary？（2000．6）


（口试必要吗？）


1. 很多人认为有必要举行口语考试，理由是……


2. 也有人持不同的意见，……


3. 我的看法和打算
opening sentence: a test of spoken english will be included as a component of college english test.



此篇文章又是讨论正反两种观点的论说文。第一段，阐述赞成口语考试的理由，社会的发展对大的英语水平提出了更高的要求，不但要写得好，还要说得流利。其次，一口流利的英语，毕业时就更能找一份报酬优惠的工作。第二段，对口语考试有人持不同意见：一方面，一口流利的未必能得到一份报酬优厚的工作；另一方面，在现实生活中，许多人的工作与口语无关。第三段，“我”的看法和打算。

参考范文：
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.
