A student's view of the tests

学生对考试的看法

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是美国一所大学的研究生。她参加了新托福和学院托福考试以及雅思考试。

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.

她说，纸考，也就是学院托福，更加容易。学院托福类似于学生通常参加的多项选择题考试。

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区别是口语部分。在雅思考试中，你有一个与考官面对面的面试。在新托福考试中，你会听到一段情景，然后用电脑录下你的回答。

TOEFL IBT is more challenging

新托福考试更有挑战性

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

Kurniasari女士解释了为什么新托福的计算机口语部分对她来说很难。

"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."

“新托福考试很有难度，因为我必须与电脑对话。我基本上没有遇到和我说话的真人。我记得房间里有二三十个人。最困难的部分是口语考试，因为当我刚要说的时候，旁边的人也开始说话，然后不知怎么地，我无法集中注意力，因为我能听到她(他)说的内容。”

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

另一方面，对Kurniasari女士来说，雅思考试时与真人一对一交谈更容易一些。

"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."

“雅思也有口语考试，但我可以见到真人。就像平常的对话一样，它对我来说更舒服、更轻松些，因为我可以面对面地与人交流。因此我认为新托福考试是非常有挑战性的。”
