The Brainstorm of Arugment Essay

Topic 4: should a passing score on English achievement test be the main requirement for international students to enter a university in an English –speaking country? What are the pros and cons of this issue? Choose one side and write your essay in support of it.

My opinion: English achievement test should not be the main requirement for international students to enter a university in English –speaking country.

l         English achievement test just help university to know students’ English level, but actually it didn’t really help school to know students’ English level.
l         Some students are not good at test, they are not test taker. But they really had learned something, they doesn’t have problem for communicate with other people. They just not good at test. That’s not fair for them.
l         The score grade didn’t mean anything. Actually, students could achieve scores by endorsement. Did they learn something no one knows, except themselves.
l         For international students, they go to English –speaking country is because they believe that those countries can help them learn English better than their own country, those countries provide a nature environment for the people who want to practice English. If international students’ English are perfect and good, as a nature American, then why they will spend a lot of money to go to those countries’ school.
l         School is a place for students whom want learning and developing their skills.


Pros:
The English achievement test can give school a general idea students’ English level

Cons:
Hierarchical

  1. Lots of details and examples!
    Good refutation for counterargument!
    I really like to see your upgraded vocabulary words.
    One thing that I don't like is that your opinions, details, counterargument, and refutation are disorganized yet.But I think it's just a brainstorming, so it's not a big deal. Great job!
