On Attending CET-4 and CET-6 Repeatedly

In 2005, there was a reform in the system of College English Test, which meant college students would get their test marks and there would be no limit to the times they may attend the tests before they graduate. They can attend several times before graduation until getting the scores they expect. From my point of view, it's not necessary at all.

2005年，大學(xué)英語考試迎來一次改革。改革內(nèi)容為將對(duì)學(xué)生公布考試成績，并且在學(xué)生畢業(yè)前，不限制參考次數(shù)。導(dǎo)致學(xué)生在畢業(yè)前不斷參加考試，直至拿到滿意的分?jǐn)?shù)。我認(rèn)為，這完全沒必要。

To begin with, CET only proves one's qualification, and it's only a measurement of students'knowledge of basic knowledge. It can not necessarily tell everything of one's English ability. Passing the tests can not prove that one can use English skillfully. It's the use of English that can tell one's English ability. Moreover, students should spend more time in their major courses, rather than in getting higher scores in CET. Preparing for CET is a huge job that costs a lot of time. College students should focus on improving their major skills and comprehensive skills. English is just used as a tool in communication, but the modern society needs those people who grasp diverse skills. The companies and enterprises will take the candidate's ability on major courses into consideration rather than only the CET scores.

首先，大學(xué)英語考試只是對(duì)學(xué)生是否掌握基本英語知識(shí)的測試，僅能證明考生的英語掌握能力，它不是衡量一個(gè)人的所有英語能力的必要條件。通過考試不能證明你英語運(yùn)用多熟練，真正使用英語時(shí)才能證明你的能力。其次，大學(xué)生應(yīng)該花心思在自己專業(yè)課程，而不是在大學(xué)英語考試上拿到更高分，況且準(zhǔn)備大學(xué)英語考試需要花費(fèi)很大精力。大學(xué)生應(yīng)該更集中在如何提高專業(yè)技能和綜合能力。英語只是交流工具，而現(xiàn)代社會(huì)更需要有人掌握多種技能。企業(yè)和公司會(huì)以面試者的專業(yè)能力做考慮，而不是四六級(jí)成績。

From the discussions above, we can conclude that the score of CET-4 and CET-6 can't prove one's all-round ability as much as previously thought. Therefore, college students needn't to attend CET-4 or CET-6 repeatedly, and what they should do is try their best to improve their major courses and comprehensive skills.

經(jīng)過以上討論，我們可以得出結(jié)論，正如我前面所講的，四六級(jí)分?jǐn)?shù)不能證明你的全面能力。因此，沒必要反復(fù)參加四六級(jí)考試，而更應(yīng)該盡力提高專業(yè)素質(zhì)和綜合能力。
