【簡介】

TOEIC代表Test of English for International Communication（國際溝通英語測驗）。多益測驗乃針對英語非母語人士所設計之英語能力測驗，測驗分數反映受測者在國際職場環境中與他人以英語溝通的熟稔程度。參加本測驗毋需具備專業的知識或字彙，因為測驗內容以日常使用之英語為主。
多益測驗是以職場為基準點的英語能力測驗中，世界最頂級的考試。2012年在全球有超過七百萬人報考多益測驗，並在150個國家中有超過14,000家的企業、學校或政府機構使用多益測驗，同時在全球超過165個國家施測，是最被廣泛接受且最方便報考的英語測驗之一。
 

【測驗內容】

多益的設計，以職場的需要為主。測驗題的內容，從全世界各地職場的英文資料中蒐集而來，題材多元化，包含各種地點與狀況，
舉例來說：

【測驗方式】

多益測驗屬於紙筆測驗，時間為兩小時，總共有二百題，全部為單選題，分作兩大部分:聽力與閱讀，兩者分開計時。

第一大類：聽力
總共有一百題，共有四大題。考生會聽到各種各類英語的直述句、問句、短對話以及短獨白，然後根據所聽到的內容回答問題。聽力的考試時間大約為四十五分鐘。

第一大題：照片描述　 十題 (四選一)
第二大題：應答問題 三十題 (三選一)
第三大題：簡短對話 三十題 (四選一)
第四大題：簡短獨白 三十題 (四選一)

第二大類：閱讀
總共有一百題，題目及選項都印在題本上。考生須閱讀多種題材的文章，然後回答相關問題。考試時間為七十五分鐘，考生可在時限內依自己能力調配閱讀及答題速度。

第五大題：單句填空 四十題 (四選一)
第六大題：短文填空 十二題 (四選一)
第七大題：單篇文章理解 二十八題 (四選一)　雙篇文章理解 　二十題 (四選一)

考生選好答案後，要在與題目卷分開的答案卷上劃卡。雖然答題時間約為兩小時，但考試時考生尚須在答案卷上填寫個人資料，並簡短的回答關於教育與工作經歷的問卷，因此真正待在考場內時間會較長。

今天要來介紹的是多益的口說與寫作測驗，基本上是跟聽說和閱讀是分開的，所以也就不是所謂的金色證照了。不過光是測驗費用，就要3240元，就算是只考口說也是要2240元的，相當的燒錢啊！如果說只考聽力和閱讀的費用就是1540，親民了點，但仍是相當的高費用。今天就帶大家來了解＂多益的收費＂方式，讓我們來決定要不要考多益口說或寫作吧！
