Writing prompt: Whether the Listening Test Should Be Canceled

Student essay:
Recently, my classmates had a discussion on whether the listening test should be canceled in the college entrance examination. As we know, different people have different ideas. I would like to show you what their opinions are.
Some students are for the opinion that it should not be canceled, saying that listening, as one of the four basic language skills, is such an important one that can't be ignored. In addition, listening is an important way to receive information. What's more, with the international cooperation's increasing, it is practical and necessary for us to improve our ability to speak and listen English.
The other students, however, hold the opposite idea. The main reason why they think so is that the listening effect makes a difference in different place, leading to the unfair exam result. Also, there is a great gap in English teachers and listening equipments between cities and country. Furthermore, not every student would have the chance to speak to foreigners in the future.
So far, the discussion hasn't come to an agreement yet.
