Basic knowledge of English IV "machine test" in 2009

There are three main differences in the new IV machine test:

Firstly, the form of the test is different, the traditional IV test is completely written, while the new IV test relies on the network and computers to carry out the new IV test, the computers and network equipment and other Technical requirements are higher;

Secondly, the examination time is different, the traditional four-level examination time for 9:00 a.m. to 11:20 a.m., while the new four-level machine examination time for 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., 20 minutes less than the original. According to reports, the reason why the time is shortened, because the traditional four-level examination is divided into two sections, among which there is a collection of papers, the paper issued a pause in the process, and the new four-level machine test because completely on the computer test, do not stop in the middle of the process;

The third is through the new four-level machine test students in addition to the four-level examination certificate, there is a certificate to participate in the machine test.

1, adding the follow-reading section:

In terms of question types, the test questions of the machine test are roughly divided into eight parts. In the listening part of the back of the increase in the follow-reading link, you need to repeat the computer microphone into the previous conversation, so as to test whether the candidate's oral standard. So before the test, candidates need to adjust the computer's microphone volume.

2, listening weight increased:

and the traditional written test heavy reading is very different, the machine test more focus on listening, listening weight accounted for 70%. The essay part is also integrated into the listening requirements, first of all, you have to watch a video, understand the video after watching a brief description of the video content in the essay, and explain their own views. If you don't understand the video, there is no way to start the essay.

3, experience sharing:

Reading out loud to familiarize with the keyboard input. In the follow-along session, it is better for the candidates to follow the reading out loud so that the computer can record the sound better. The listening speed of the machine test is faster and more difficult than that of the written test. And in addition to doing multiple-choice questions through the computer, you have to fill in the words according to the listening content. Since the computer reserves a very short time for the candidates to answer the questions, the candidates are required to be able to use the keyboard to skillfully input the English words. In addition, all the questions have been preset answer time, if not answered within the answer time, the computer will automatically go to the next question, the candidate can not go back to answer the paper again, which makes the candidates used to their own schedule some discomfort. Some teachers also reminded that the machine test is based on the video material of the first part in several parts except for the reading part. To answer the questions in the later sections well, candidates must have a clear understanding of the video content in Part I. The more and deeper a candidate listens to and understands the video material, the better the results of the later parts of the test will be. Conversely, it is difficult for candidates to obtain high marks.

4. Framework Chart for the Level 4-6 Machine Test

A video from a TV program or real life (about five minutes)

Test takers watch the video 1-2 times and then answer 4-5 basic questions about video comprehension

Listening Fill-in-the-Blanks: replaying the conversation in the video in sentences, and then asking the test takers to fill in the key words in the replayed sentences
