First, vocabulary
In terms of vocabulary, CET-6 requires a vocabulary of about 5,500-6,000, and IELTS requires a vocabulary of about 7,000-8,000. CET-6 candidates need to master common vocabulary and expressions, while IELTS pays more attention to the depth and breadth of vocabulary, including some subject-specific vocabulary and scene-specific expressions. Therefore, there is a certain gap between CET-6 and IELTS in vocabulary.
Second, listen.
CET-6 requires that candidates can basically understand English news and podcasts with faster speech speed, while IELTS listening test is more diversified, involving daily life, education and training. In terms of skills, CET-6 mainly examines the ability to capture key information, while IELTS listening emphasizes the ability to filter useless information and locate key information.
Third, reading.
Band 6 reading mainly examines students' ability to understand articles and filter information, while IELTS reading pays more attention to understanding the deep meaning of articles and logical reasoning ability. From the point of view of the types of questions, CET-6 reading focuses on the understanding of details, while IELTS reading includes many types of questions, such as multiple-choice questions, true or false questions, paragraph matching questions and so on. Generally speaking, the difficulty and requirements of IELTS reading are higher than Band 6.
Fourth, writing.
CET-6 writing mainly examines students' basic writing ability, while IELTS writing pays more attention to logic and accuracy of expression. In CET-6 writing, students need to master basic writing skills, such as paragraph organization, language expression and article structure. IELTS writing, on the other hand, requires students to express their views clearly, discuss logically and use appropriate language and sentence patterns.
The difference between CET-4 and TOEFL
