Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?

College students have to attend the test of spoken English. Some people think that it's not necessary at all. I don't agree to it. A test of spoken English will be included as a component of a comprehensive English test. It's quite necessary. Firstly, with the deepening of reform and opening up, our exchanges with foreigners will increase rapidly. Face-to-face talks with foreigners are becoming more and more frequent. Therefore, our society will badly needs people who process the comprehensive ability to English, spoken ability included. However, the fact is that the students who have a good command of English can not express themselves very well. So it's a good way to urge them to pay more attention to practice and improve their spoken English. Secondly, people who can speak English fluently will have a better chance of obtaining a better job. Last, good spoken English will open a wider window to your life. Therefore, such a test is really a necessity.

From the discussion above, I am undoubtedly for the test because college students will benefit a lot from this kind of test and their outstanding verbal ability. Students should try their best to improve their spoken English, not only for the test, but for their future.
