英语口试必要吗?(Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?

　　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.
