The IELTS has two forms. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both forms. In the Reading and Writing sections, however, there are two different tests.
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.
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."
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."
