ABSTRACT

English is the most widely distributed language in the world. With more and more international cultural exchanges, there are a huge number of people who learn English as a second language. English has always been the most popular second language in China. International language tests such as IELTS and TOEFL are becoming more common in China as more Chinese students go abroad for undergraduate or graduate studies. Compared with the two international English proficiency tests, CET-4 and CET-6 are basic English proficiency tests in China. This type of test primarily examines the student's basic vocabulary quantity to comprehend the situation and the grammar knowledge of the actual application. While IELTS focuses more on the assessment of logical thinking and language expression skills, reading and speaking tests are the most difficult assessment tasks. TOEFL attaches more importance to the students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills combined with the use of English level, and the difficulty of each part is evenly distributed, strong academically.
