Will you register for TOEFL or GRE? Are you taking any course in spare-time school which is specialized in English?Because of the

And the surge of learning English is so giant that you can find that almost all people at different ages, in different professions, and with different education levels are studying English with efforts, especially fo
3、r students. Whats more, it is widely accepted that parents are responsible for sending their children to learn English even when they are very young, for example, before children entering their primary school. It is a fairly good tendency due to the demands of the times. We Chinese should put our st
4、eps onto the world. Then English is the tool essential for us. As a result, we should emphasize on its studying.Whats coming up is that quite a lot of examinations for English studying appear in our society, such as TOEFL, TOPE, and so on. As a college student, I just want to talk something about so
5、me English tests in our studying lives.In my opinion, the English tests which are popular with college students can be divided into three kinds. And the first one is CET. The full name of CET is College English Test. We can draw the conclusion from its name that it is given to college students speci

For most universities in Shanghai, Band 4 is necessary. Our schools will register the exam for us. How about the test? It usually con
7、tains four parts. They are listening, reading, choice, and writing. We always hear that it is not very difficult to pass it. But if you want to get Excellent Degree, which means that your score is above 85 points, you should pay enough attention to it. To tell the truth, I find that it is a big chal
8、lenge for me to get Excellent Degree. And some of my classmates agree with me. But no matter what level we get in our daily English studying, all of us overwhelm ourselves to prepare for it. Then how about Band 6? For many universities, that whether you take part in it or not is due to your own alte
9、rnative. But it is much harder than Band 4 to pass it. These two exams are required when we want to get our degrees. And they are delivered by the Nation Education Administration. On the other hand, our English level would be tested on some content. Maybe this is the primary purpose of NEA. But thes
10、e two tests are not for all of college students. If you are students specialized in English subject, you should take part in Test for English major grade eight. The second kind of test is not a very definite one. But it can be described as several tests which show ones ability of English. This invol
11、ves quite a lot of sections. But most of them are related to the ability to communicate with each other and to make ourselves understood. For instance, the intermediate/advance interpretation test is now quite popular with college students. In Shanghai, there are several famous spare-time colleges w

It is certain that you will benefit from it. The inte
13、rpretation test is constituted by two parts, the written part and oral part. They are held separately, first written and then oral. My classmates who register for the exams told me after he finished his test that the written test was just a piece of cake. Even when you havent attended any special co
14、urse, you would pass it with a large possibility. But the oral test is a so difficult that two out of three of my classmates who tried their luck failed. They told me that the oral test is in the form of translating an English passage into Chinese. One of their topics is about Tai-chi. It seems terr
15、ible for them. The third kind I mentioned is the English tests for studying aboard. Perhaps all of college students can give several names of English tests of this kind. But the most widely spread tests are TOEFL and GRE. The full name of TOEFL is Test of English as Foreign Language. Almost all of p
