In many kinds of English tests such as CET( College English Test), TEM( Test for English majors),etc.a test of spoken English will be optional.Some people consider that it is unquestionably necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because spoken English is as important as written English.Both of them are effective communication ways for English speakers. But sometimes even those top students who are good at grammar and writing skills find that it is difficult to express their thoughts freely when speaking.A test of spoken English will make students attach more importance to oral English, and thus help them with their communicating skills.
On the other hand, there are also people who hold that good reading, writing and translating skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under great pressure from their study, Another required test will be a burden to them.
In my opinion, ! believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm.And I shall make all my efforts to practice and improve my spoken English.
