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，大学英语考试迎来一次改革。改革内容为将对学生公布考试成绩，并且在学生毕业前，不限制参考次数。导致学生在毕业前不断参加考试，直至拿到满意的分数。我认为，这完全没必要。

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，大学英语考试只是对学生是否掌握基本英语知识的测试，仅能证明考生的英语掌握能力，它不是衡量一个人的所有英语能力的必要条件。通过考试不能证明你英语运用多熟练，真正使用英语时才能证明你的能力。其次，大学生应该花心思在自己专业课程，而不是在大学英语考试上拿到更高分，况且准备大学英语考试需要花费很大精力。大学生应该更集中在如何提高专业技能和综合能力。英语只是交流工具，而现代社会更需要有人掌握多种技能。企业和公司会以面试者的专业能力做考虑，而不是四六级成绩。

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.

经过以上讨论，我们可以得出结论，正如我前面所讲的，四六级分数不能证明你的全面能力。因此，没必要反复参加四六级考试，而更应该尽力提高专业素质和综合能力。
