参考范文：

A test of spoken English will be included as a component of College English Test. Many people consider it necessary to adopt such a test. For one thing, fluent speaking ability is badly needed in today’s society, a society that is experiencing reform and wider opening to the outside world. For another, in a more competitive society such as ours today, fluent spoken English usually becomes that ounce more advantage you have to beat your rivals in competing for a position having much appeal for both of you. All these point to the indispensability of a spoken English test.

Some people, however, take a different attitude. They regard the test as being unnecessary. Fluent spoken English, they argue, does not necessarily mean bringing a better job, for sometimes, opportunity plays a more important role. Furthermore, many people do not use spoken English at all in their work.

Personally speaking, I am really in favor of the test because it can encourage college students to try every means to improve their spoken English, which will benefit them forever. Thus I decide to make use of every opportunity to practise my spoken English, and surely it will do me much good.

评论：此篇文章又是讨论正反两种观点的论说文。第一段，阐述赞成口语考试的理由，社会的发展对大学生的英语水平提出了更高的要求，不但要写得好，还要说得流利。其次，一口流利的英语，毕业时就更能找一份报酬优惠的工作。第二段，对口语考试有人持不同意见：一方面，一口流利的英语未必能得到一份报酬优厚的工作；另一方面，在现实生活中，许多人的工作与口语无关。第三段，“我”的看法和打算。
