The first listening test lasted 40 minutes and the topic was divided into four parts. The first part is the dialogue that will happen in daily life (usually two people), and the second part is the monologue related to life; The third part is academic dialogue (usually more than two people), and the fourth part is academic paper speech, which is becoming more and more difficult (and in order to screen elites again, sometimes some sentences will have a strong accent or authentic words). Usually the first three parts will be divided into two paragraphs to answer different questions. Candidates will have a short time to review after listening to each recording (but they will not repeat it, so they should write the answer immediately). It takes 30 minutes to complete all the recording, and the time left for candidates to fill in the answers from the test paper to the answer sheet is 10 minute. When the time is up, the examiner will collect the test paper and let the candidates turn over the answer sheet.
After the listening test, there is a reading test, which lasts for 60 minutes and the topic is divided into three parts. Each paragraph is about 1200- 1500 words, about 13- 14 questions, totaling 40 questions. When the time comes, the examiner will collect the answer sheet and test paper.
The reading test is followed by the writing test, and the time is also 60 minutes. There are two topics, the first is picture description (class A) or letter (class G), which requires 150 words, 20 minutes; The second is an argumentative or explanatory paper (mainly discussion), which requires 250 words and 40 minutes. Time together, and finally collected together. It is best to write a big composition (250 words) after handing out the paper, because the score is relatively large, and finally write a small composition in the rest of the time.
The speaking test is one-on-one, and the examiner will ask the candidates some personal questions first and choose a topic to start. After a certain degree, the examiner shows the question card, asking the candidates to answer questions and discuss them properly for not less than 1 minute. Finally, the examiner will discuss some in-depth topics with the candidates and examine the candidates' coping ability. The total length is 14 minutes.
