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，大學英語考試迎來一次改革。改革內容為將對學生公布考試成績，并且在學生畢業前，不限制參考次數。導致學生在畢業前不斷參加考試，直至拿到滿意的分數。我認為，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，大學英語考試只是對學生是否掌握基本英語知識的測試，僅能證明考生的英語掌握能力，它不是衡量一個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用多熟練，真正使用英語時才能證明你的能力。其次，大學生應該花心思在自己專業課程，而不是在大學英語考試上拿到更高分，況且準備大學英語考試需要花費很大精力。大學生應該更集中在如何提高專業技能和綜合能力。英語只是交流工具，而現代社會更需要有人掌握多種技能。企業和公司會以面試者的專業能力做考慮，而不是四六級成績。

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.

經過以上討論，我們可以得出結論，正如我前面所講的，四六級分數不能證明你的全面能力。因此，沒必要反復參加四六級考試，而更應該盡力提高專業素質和綜合能力。
