雅思考试有两种类型：一般学术类考试适用于想申请去英语语言国家的高校学习的学生；
the IELTS General Training module is generally taken for immigration or employment purposes.
移民或赴外工作的人士则参加培训类考试。
Here we look at the criteria of task response for Writing Task 1 and task achievement for Writing Task 2.
今天我们将介绍雅思写作的两篇作文的评分标准。
These represent one of four criteria on which you will be tested.Look for the other three criteria in other videos.
先看四大评分标准中的第一个。其余三个评分标准请看相应视频。
These criteria focus on the degree to which the exam question has been answered properly.
设定评分标准的目的是评价答案的合理程度。
