Now, more English classes hold oral English exams. Different people have different views on this phenomenon. Some people think it is necessary to hold an oral English exam, but others don't think so. In my opinion, it is necessary to hold an oral English test. There are the following reasons to support my idea.
First, we can pay attention to the pronunciation of English words. As we all know, any language is for communication. We always speak a language to describe our thoughts to others. The wrong accent may cause some trouble for others to understand our point of view. The oral English test focuses on our pronunciation, which provides us with an opportunity to pay attention to the pronunciation of English words in the learning process.
Secondly, oral English can also increase our courage. When we take an English exam, we must speak English and a second language in front of others, such as teachers, classmates and so on. Some people may be timid when talking to others. Therefore, the oral English test gives us an opportunity to increase our self-esteem, courage and confidence. If we want to get a satisfactory score in this exam, good performance is the most important. But a good performance requires us to speak English without tension.
Third, we can learn more English knowledge. We can learn spoken English in foreigners' daily life. Written English is different from oral English. Some slang and idioms appear in spoken English. If we don't understand some English slang or idioms, we can't learn real English. We don't know the customs and culture of the outside world, because a language can also tell us the culture and customs of a nation through vocabulary in daily life.
In a word, the oral English test is helpful for us to learn English. It can help us practice English pronunciation, increase our courage and accumulate our English knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to hold an oral English test.
