Many people will think it necessary to take a test of spoken English. They know that although they have taken dozens, even hundreds, of English tests ever since they started learning it and many even have got surprisingly high marks, few of them can express themselves freely in spoken English. And if people can’t speak a word of it, what’s the sense of learning it and what do those high marks mean? They’re none but deaf-and-mutes before the native speakers. Furthermore, with so many college students and undergraduates having passed CET-4 and CET-6, a test of spoken English is an effective way to distinguish the excellent from the ordinary. Finally, it is considered a new challenge to those who “live and learn”.

However, other people think otherwise. They believe there is the uncertainty about the reliability and objectivity of the marking system, which may depend chiefly(thus subjective) on human scoring instead of on machine scoring, as in the case of a standardized objective test such as CET-4 and CET-6.
At the prospect of this optional test, I feel encouraged and view it as a welcome challenge and another opportunity to improve my language ability and career potentials. I am determined to practice my spoken English more often, and if I am qualified for such a test, I will not hesitate a moment to take it.

(四)一名目击者的一宗交通意外,我 名字是汤姆. 我就读的大学. 一个星期前,我看到一宗交通意外时,仍然历历在目. 据上午约9:00在星期日上午, 6月15日 当我走出大学访问的一个朋友在另一所大学. 我很悠闲地走在人行道上,突然听到一声刺耳的碰撞. 两车相撞,对方只在T型路口约10米远的地方. 这是一宗交通意外. 我上前马上发现两名出租车遭到严重破坏. 无论是屋顶被列形状. 一扇门,一车被撞倒过躺在路上. 一名司机受伤流血,另一人被关在了的士. 有些人试图帮助司机摆脱损坏的汽车. 一名男子打电话到交通的警察站. 不少汽车被塞在路上. 从停转的道路,显然,两辆出租车开车太快. 但这只是原因之一. 我认为,出租车司机急于采取更多乘客,多赚一点钱. 但在另一方面,两名司机不出示任何关心对方. 双方都希望在大家的面前跑了. 因此,事故是难免的. 到目前为止,我们应该问问司机,以保持其在他们心中,慢一点,少浇. 照顾他人的生命就是照顾你的生活.
