Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
As regards a test of spoken English ,there has been a hated discussion among the general public in our society. People who believe in its necessity argue that spoken English test helps to evaluate students' spoken English ability. What’s more,it will definitely stimulate students to lay more emphasis on listening and speaking,which are surely needed in their future career.
By contrast,others hold that spoken English test is of no necessity. According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily,a slight proportion of college graduates as low as 8. 37 percent actually use spoken English in their daily work. In addition,spoken English test may not faithfully reflect the level and therefore cast doubt on college students.
As far as I am concerned,I am most happy to attend such a test of spoken English. I plan to seize every chance to improve my oral English ability so as to achieve outstanding performance in the coming test.(150词)
“一句话”点评
第二段的一个百分比和大写“China Daily”抓住了阅卷老师的眼球。而conduct , slight , a proportion of等好词和短语的运用,无疑增加了亮点。
快捷构思
第一段:在模板句引人话题后接着提出首段中心“很多人认为有必要举行英语C1语考试”,并用helps to evaluate students' spoken English ability和stimulate students to lay more emphasis on listening and speaking两个原因来支持段落中心。
第二段:开门见山展现段落中心“也有人认为没必要举行英语口语考试”。而后“一句话”数例为具体现象展示,说明有很少大学毕业生在实际的日常工作中使用到英语口语,实际也是个原因支持。最后呈现另一个并列的原因:不能真实反应学生的水平,遭到学生的质疑。
第三段:直接展现自己的观点,并提出自己计划怎么做,但不做更深层次的展开。
