Is a Test of spoken English Necessary ? Opinions vary from person to person that whether a test of spoken English is necessary. Some people maintain that a test of spoken English is imperative. Because English is a language, spoken English is of great importance part for learning English people. People can't talk with others who come from other country unless they can speak English fluent. It is true that fluent spoken English is benefited for communication,but one vital point is being left out . Considering that Chinese is different English, and many college students will not speak English when they left college, so test of spoken English is dispensable and time-consuming. From my personal perspective , I perfer the former opinion. It is necessary for us to test of spoken English. For one thing, a test of spoken English will stimulate students to improve their oral English. For other thing, it should be universally acknowledged that English is a international language. We do good spoken English for making foreigner friends and visiting other countries,not for the test.
