答案 English Scores Do Not Always Open More Doors There is no denying that we are living in an increasingly competitive society. Graduate job-seekers, in particular, face tremendous pressure trying to find a good job. In such situation, many graduates sit in a variety of English tests, hoping that a better certificate in English may secure better job offers. I think such behavior is understandable but by no means recommendable. For me, English scores are not universally useful; and focusing too much on English tests can be a waste of time. To start with, although English is an important tool in modern society, English scores are not universally useful. Better English scores may be crucial when one is applying for an oversea university, trying to be an interpreter, or hoping to work in a multinational company. However, advanced English certificates may become not so useful if one is going to be a government official in charge of domestic affairs, a Chinese language teacher, or a doctor working in a national hospital. So before one rushes to sign up for different fancy English tests, he should consider what his career goal is. Better English scores do not always open more doors. Secondly, job-seekers should be prudent about taking English tests because these tests are highly time-consuming. Taking an English test requires long time of preparation because different tests have different emphasis. For example, the purpose of IELTS is quite different from that of TOEIC. In order to get a good score, a test-taker has to study the designing, vocabulary and writing style of a test. He would also have to do a lot of exercises before taking the test. All of these require time. Such time may be better used if a job-seeker can find an internship related to the job he is applying for or take part in social activities to enrich his experiences. Compared with a bookworm with dozens of irrelevant certificates, employers would definitely prefer someone more experienced and adaptable. Therefore, there are many better ways to make us more outstanding among competitors than spending too much time on all kinds of English tests which are not always helpful in job-hunting. As a conclusion, taking too much English tests should not be encouraged in that English scores are not always helpful and such tests are too time-consuming. Job-seekers may benefit more if they use the time saved from English tests to enrich their social experiences and enhance their personal skills.
