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).
Many people agree to this. They think oral communication is a very important part in English learning. If one can understand what foreigners say, but can't open his mouth and express himself in English, he seems to be dumb.
However, other people don't think so. They will say that oral English is not so necessary because it is nearly impossible for many people to talk with foreigners face to face.
As far as I'm concerned, I agree to the first viewpoint. With our society developing more and more quickly, people will have more chances to study abroad or to work with foreigners, and then, communication in English is very essential. Therefore, I've made up my mind to learn English well, and speak English fluently.
