A student's view of the tests

學生對考試的看法

Triwik Kurniasari is a graduate student at an American university. She has taken both the IBT and ITP forms of the TOEFL and the IELTS.

Triwik Kurniasari是美國一所大學的研究生。她參加了新托福和學院托福考試以及雅思考試。

She says the paper-based, or institutional test, the TOEFL ITP, is easier. The ITP is similar to the multiple-choice tests students usually take.

她說，紙考，也就是學院托福，更加容易。學院托福類似于學生通常參加的多項選擇題考試。

A major difference between the TOEFL IBT and the IELTS is in the Speaking section. On the IELTS, you have a face-to-face interview with a certified examiner. On the TOEFL IBT, you listen to a situation and record your response using a computer.

新托福和雅思的主要區別是口語部分。在雅思考試中，你有一個與考官面對面的面試。在新托福考試中，你會聽到一段情景，然后用電腦錄下你的回答。

TOEFL IBT is more challenging

新托福考試更有挑戰性

Ms. Kurniasari explains why the computer-based Speaking section of the TOEFL IBT was difficult for her.

Kurniasari女士解釋了為什么新托福的計算機口語部分對她來說很難。

"For the TOEFL IBT, it's more challenging because I have to speak with a computer, basically, and I didn't get to meet the real person who talked with me. I remember there were twenty or thirty people in the room. The hardest part is the speaking test because when I was about to speak, and the person next to me also started to speak, then somehow I lost concentration because I could hear what she or he said during the speaking test."

“新托福考試很有難度，因為我必須與電腦對話。我基本上沒有遇到和我說話的真人。我記得房間里有二三十個人。最困難的部分是口語考試，因為當我剛要說的時候，旁邊的人也開始說話，然后不知怎么地，我無法集中注意力，因為我能聽到她(他)說的內容。”

On the other hand, talking to a real person one-on-one during the IELTS was easier for Ms. Kurniasari.

另一方面，對Kurniasari女士來說，雅思考試時與真人一對一交談更容易一些。

"For the ILETS test, it requires a speaking test, but I get to meet the real person. It was just like a regular conversation so it's much more comfortable and easier for me because I got to meet the person face to face, so I think the TOEFL IBT is much more challenging."

“雅思也有口語考試，但我可以見到真人。就像平常的對話一樣，它對我來說更舒服、更輕松些，因為我可以面對面地與人交流。因此我認為新托福考試是非常有挑戰性的。”
