应有效使用语言实验室
【内容提示】
下面是《英文21世纪报》第Ⅳ版一个称为“Teacher's Page”栏目的前言部分。假定你是该版的编辑，请你为它写一段50个词左右的“编者按”（Editor's note）。
Language Laboratories Should Be Used Effectively
The chief drawback (缺陷) of oral interview tests (口试) is the time which is needed. Each student must be tested individually (个别地), and even a short test which takes only five or 10 minutes becomes very time-consuming (费时的) when given separately to 30 students.
The use of a language makes it possible to give oral tests to a large number of students in a short time. But it would be foolish to claim (声称) that a speaking test using pre-recorded (事先录音的)material could ever be superior (优于) to a genuine (真正的) face-to-face interview.
Nevertheless, for certain limited purposes, a language laboratory can offer a means of encouraging students to speak English and to become accustomed to responding (回答) various questions which may possibly arise (出现) in real life.
Examples will be given in this section of the types of oral exercises and activities for use in the language laboratory.
