總是聽(tīng)到大量參加完雅思考試的考生抱怨說(shuō)。
“慘了,這次考試沒(méi)有注意是讓寫(xiě)T/F/NG還是Y/N/NG,全寫(xiě)成T/F/NG了?!?br>
“T/F/NG寫(xiě)成Y/N/NG究竟有沒(méi)有分?jǐn)?shù)啊?”
“肯定沒(méi)分?jǐn)?shù)的,我們老師上課專(zhuān)門(mén)強(qiáng)調(diào)的。”
“我們老師說(shuō),如果Y/N/NG寫(xiě)成T/F/NG有分?jǐn)?shù)的話(huà),那官方還分成這兩種不同的題型干嘛?”
“我們老師還強(qiáng)調(diào),縮寫(xiě)也肯定沒(méi)分?jǐn)?shù)的”。。。
然而我想,作為嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)恼Z(yǔ)言教師,T/F/NG寫(xiě)成Y/N/NG或者縮寫(xiě)有沒(méi)有分?jǐn)?shù),不能憑自己的邏輯思考,腦門(mén)一熱,一拍大腿說(shuō)有或者沒(méi)有,一定要嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)膽B(tài)度來(lái)探究求證。為此,日前我專(zhuān)門(mén)向具有權(quán)威解釋權(quán)的雅思考試委員會(huì)(劍四,劍五,劍六第九頁(yè)均有雅思考試委員會(huì)聯(lián)系方式)去函詢(xún)問(wèn)雅思考試中True/False/Not Given寫(xiě)成Yes/No/Not Given,或者反過(guò)來(lái),或者縮寫(xiě)是否在判卷是給予分?jǐn)?shù)。去信及回復(fù)摘抄如下:

Subject: IELTS Enquiry for the T/F/NG questions in the reading section
Would marks still be obtained if the students shortened all the answers as T/F/NG or miswrote as Yes/No/Not Given (or Y/N/NG)?
