argument paragraph

    A passing score on an English achievement test should not be the main requirement for international students to enter any school in an English-speaking country. As an international student, I don’t support this requirement. There are three cons. First of all, English is not the international students’ native language so if they don’t get higher score they will miss the chance to go to a school in the English-speaking country. To speak another language is extremely difficult especially when the students are already growing in their own language for many years. I think it’s unfair to only concern about the test for the international students.  Second, the best way to learn a new language is to participate into the speaking environment, so if the students don’t get any chances to join the English environment their English will never get better. The last reason is that teenagers can study the different cultures faster, they might not have much problems when they live in different countries even though they don’t quit know how to speak the language. Some people only concern about the test scores but don’t care about the students' personalities and so on. However, the grades can’t tell you anything about the person, so the test score should not be required for the international students.
