Recently the students of our school had a discussion about whether the listening test in NMET should be replaced by listening part of PETS2.
Some students think it good because the listening materials in PETS2 are close to our daily life. Besides students can share equal opportunities as they can take the test twice a year. They say the new policy will help strengthen the students’ listening and speaking and therefore improve their abilities in using English.
However others argue that the new listening test is too difficult for most students. They even say it is a waste of time and energy for students to take the test twice a year because they have so many subjects to study. They strongly believe that only a few students have the opportunities to communicate with foreigners in English in future and suggest that listening test should be cancelled.
