Can NEAT be a national test?

 When I was in high school, I was able to get a good grade from English test, so I thought that I was good at English. However I was shocked after I had gone abroad to study English in foreign country. Many people who I talked didn’t understand what I say because my pronunciation was really bad. After I realized that, I had to study English pronunciation again. These problems are caused by korea’s system of English education. It’s difficult for the system to help students to improve their English skills. SAT is present system which requires reading skills from students, but NEAT is a new test system. It might be a national test soon.

 There are some reasons why we should change from SAT to NEAT. First, present system is not enough for students to improve their real English skills. I think that a language is not academic thing. It is conversation skills. To learn English as a language, we have to do writing, listening, reading as well as speaking. Although most students in korea have been studying English for a long time, they can’t try to talk with people from other country when they meet them. Neat is included writing and speaking section. It goes without saying that it can help student’s English skills. Secondly, problems of private academy are serious problem in korea. Government said NEAT can solve this problems and it can change student’s parents mind which don't believe public education. Also they say It will be main English test instead of TOEIC test. To get a high grade in TOEIC test, many people have to spend lots of money and this money flow to other country. It can decrease cost problems in private academy market.

 Finally, Korea government decide to change present english test. I think many people already agree with these changes because they aren't satisfied with present english test system. Most students have been studying for a long time, we have studied english until now On the other hands, If we changed from SAT to NEAT, it would happen other problems certainly. However, i can insist that NEAT is better than SAT for english.
