The College English Test
The College English Test is an important test for many Chinese college students without which they would not successfully graduate if they fail to pass it. CET is divided into band four and band six. A paper includes four parts which is writing, listening comprehension, reading comprehension and translation. Listening comprehension is a nightmare for manystudents. In my view it is unreasonable to design the test paper in that way. How can students speak English well without speaking.
Hello Jenna,
Just a few small corrections on this one. I agree with you that a test without a speaking component is not so wonderful.The only reason that I can think of for this is the practicalities of having consistent speaking tests - ie every student is graded equally against a standard. All of the international exams (IELTS, FCE, CAE and Trinity) I have come across do have a speaking component.
Hope this helps
