2019英语六级作文模拟试题：高考改革

　　On the reform of college entrance exam

　　“College entrance exam” has been carried out for over 30 years. It has once undoubtedly played a very positive role. But with the society developing, its disadvantages gradually manifest and the reform has been on the agenda.

　　Why the reform becomes so urgent? Firstly, the single and unified exam,with the exam-oriented education deriving from it, has detrimental effectson training innovative talents with comprehensive qualities. Secondly, thecurrent examination has aggravated tough competition among students,resulting in heavy study load and even psychological stress.

　　Then where is the way out? I think the solution lies in a “diversificationscheme”. More diversified examination contents testing not onlyknowledge, but also abilities and practical skills, more diversified examination modes including written test, interview, experiment, etc, and more diversified admission criteria. In this way, we will bid fare well to the past rule that “a single exam determines all”. However, the reform on college entrance exam is definitely no easy task. It is rather a social problem than an educational one. The successful solution depends on the effortsfrom all walks of life.
