二、作文題(20 分) There has been a recent controversy in Taiwan over the necessity of the so-called English graduation threshold, a policy that requires enrolled students to pass certain English proficiency tests in order to graduate. One main criticism, among others, of the policy is that courses have not been offered aiming to prepare students to take the standardized tests required by the policy. The criticism, however, appears to risk a negative side of the washback effect, i.e., what to teach is influenced by what is to be tested. Please write a well-organized essay of around 200-250 words expressing your point of view and your arguments concerning the policy.
