相信應該有不少人會猶豫到底是多益TOEIC還是全民英檢GEPT比較好準備呢?以下就來分析給大家辨別一下兩者差異吧。

多益TOEIC就其官方網站介紹” 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。”

而GEPT全名是”全民英語能力分級檢定測驗（General English Proficiency Test；GEPT），簡稱全民英檢，是由中華民國教育部核准財團法人語言訓練測驗中心辦理的英文能力測驗。此測驗從2000年開始在台灣舉行，依程度分為五級，測驗結果可供台灣的學校及公民營機構用以參考受試者的英文程度之用。”

*全民英檢和多益兩種考試比較

其實TOEIC相對比較多人考的原因，其實是因為大多數學校或企業不會要求學生或求職者一定要去考多益的說寫，而且考試內容相較來說是比較貼近職場，所以只是需求所向；但是全民英檢的初試複試通過與否很清楚地就可以判斷到底程度在哪。全民英檢也通常會跟學校團體合作，所以常是國、高中生、公務人員會參加這類的測試，但實際上就多益和全民英檢考試內容來說，全民英檢在考試內容和級數分類上比較細膩，反而更能確切了解自己的英文程度狀況。

學習上來說其實以全民英檢這樣的循序漸進反而是比較好的，其實在GEPT的官方網站有提供從初級→中高級的應考技巧，但是多益官網並沒有太多的技巧介紹，而且通常多益考題的難度相當於全民英檢中高級到高級的程度，如果本身英文0基礎或是基礎不太好，其實可以先藉由全民英檢的各級依序學習是非常棒的，這也是為什麼會適合國、高中生來測驗。

舉幾個TOEIC和GEPT考試內容比較看看：

3. 全民英檢中高級閱讀 – 短文

In any group of elderly people, it is common to see some women who are unable to stand completely upright. Their backs and heads are bent forward slightly, as if they were carrying a heavy load. This is usually a sign of a bone problem that has developed over a number of years, a problem called osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis literally means porous bones—bones that are filled with tiny holes. Our bones are in a constant state of change, continuously broken down and rebuilt through the bodys chemical processes. Two kinds of cells are important in these processes: osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts renew the old bone by dissolving or reabsorbing it; this leaves an empty space. Osteoblasts then fill this empty space with new bone.

When the rate of bone renewal does not equal the rate of breakdown, bone loss results. When the bone loss becomes advanced, it is called osteoporosis. The bones do not actually change shape with osteoporosis; rather, they become porous, and therefore are more likely to break. Often the first sign of osteoporosis is a bone fracture following a minor fall or accident.

中譯：老人族群當中，常見一些女性無法完全站直。她們的背和頭部就好像背負了重物般地往前傾。這通常是一種骨骼問題發生前的徵兆，這種經年累月而形成的骨骼毛病稱為骨質疏鬆症。

骨質疏鬆症字面上的意思是有孔的骨頭—骨頭裡有許多的細孔。骨頭是不斷地改變的，經由體內的化學作用，不停地耗損及再造。在這個過程當中，有兩種細胞非常重要：溶骨細胞及造骨細胞。溶骨細胞將老化的骨頭分解或吸收，造骨細胞則以新骨填補這些空洞。

一旦骨頭再造的速度跟不上耗損的速度時，就會導致骨質的流失。流失的情況加劇時，就稱為骨質疏鬆症。事實上骨頭不會因為骨質疏鬆而變形，而是變空，因此很容易折斷。通常骨質疏鬆症的第一個徵兆就是輕微跌倒或意外之後引起的骨折。

Today, I’m going to give you some advice about record-keeping.

Keeping accurate records is very important, because if a patient is unhappy about his treatment, he may want to make a complaint to the surgeon.

These records will help us to make a case. Always write your name, the date and the time on all the records. Don’t use pencil, or coloured pens. Use black ink.

If you make a mistake, just cross it out with a single line.

Don’t use correction fluid. Don’t try to file the records away yourself, or they may get lost. Put them in this box here.

The administration manager will make sure they are filed away correctly.

5. 多益閱讀 – 雙篇文章

Hi,

Sorry for sending this to all the staff in the company, but my list of people who are going to the Signmakers’ Conference in Dartmouth is not up-to-date, so I thought I’d mail it to everyone just to be on the safe side.

The company has agreed to pay for transport by rail which means you won’t have to drive there yourselves. We’ve booked seats on the 0630 from Stanton Heath which goes direct to Dartmouth. We should arrive there by 0845, and we can then share taxis to get to the venue, which I understand is just a 15 minute drive, so we should easily make the 0930 start.

Hotel accommodation has been booked at the Premium Inn, Dartmouth. The management have agreed that all delegates should have their own rooms. It’s likely that some of you will have singles, while others will have doubles and twins. I can’t take request for double rooms, I’m, afraid. It will be the luck of the draw. All rooms will have en suites, and should be very comfortable.

We’re planning return transport on the 2010 from Dartmouth which will get us back to Stanton Heath at 2200.

I’ll be booking transport on Friday morning (14th March), so if you have any queries or problems, make sure you contact me before then.

James Roxford

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear James

Sorry, I didn’t get back to you in time. I was off sick last week and didn’t get your message until this morning. I hope you haven’t booked the train tickets yet. I’m planning to go to the conference by car, as I’m not returning to Stanton Heath after the conference. I’m going on to visit my family.

Is there any chance you can reserve a double room for me at the Premium Inn? I find it hard to sleep in single beds.

Thanks

Mindy Jacques

其實就難易度來說，多益整體性較難，考題也比較綜合，內容主題比較偏向生活和商業相關，也由於題目數量相當多的關係，更講究的是英文熟練度不管是對單字還是文法上，以及對於資訊的統整能力；但全民英檢的考題內容則偏向生活和知識相關，做題速度上相較於多益聽力大約一題只有27秒，全民英檢中高級大概一題有47秒，其實相當多了接近一倍的作答時間，閱讀上也都只有單篇文章，不似多益甚至有2~3篇的文章需要閱讀，雖然全民英檢中高級之後的閱讀內容會比較深入。

但是口說和寫作的話，多益題數還是比較多，種類也比較多，難度上個人覺得還是全民英檢稍微簡單，同樣也舉幾個例子：

1. 全民英檢中級口說 – 朗讀短文

I had a pretty normal childhood. I was born in Taiwan, so I suppose you can say my birthplace is Southern Taiwan. I was born in 1985, so I was born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the ox. I grew up just like any other child. I went to pre-school, then elementary school, junior school and senior high school. My parents had a happy marriage, so my brother, my sister and I were happy most of the time.

I think I am a normal individual, although some people think I have a very short temper. My dream is to do well in my university studies and then to become a successful lawyer. I think it is important to believe in yourself because then other will also believe in you. I also think my generation has to learn that only through hard work can you get the most out of life.

2. 全民英檢中高級口說 – 申述題

"The Internet has become very popular these days. Do you use it? What can we do with the Internet and what problems might it cause? Please explain."

3. 全民英檢中高級口說 – 中翻英

MP3最大的好處就是讓人可以隨時隨地聽音樂和廣播節目。無論在慢跑或等公車時，你如果覺得無聊便可以聽音樂以消磨時間。甚至把音量開大，也不會影響他人。但是有的醫生卻開始擔心，如果養成長時間聽MP3的習慣，聽力受損的人會越來越多。

4. 多益口說 - 陳述意見

Some people prefer to take a job that does not pay well but does provide a lot of time off from work. What is your opinion about taking a job with a low salary that has a lot of vacation time? Give reasons for your opinion.

5. 多益寫作 - 陳述意見

Directions: Read the question below. You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. Typically, an effective response will contain a minimum of 300 words.

Question: There are many ways to find a job: newspaper advertisements, Internet job search websites, and personal recommendations. What do you think is the best way to dins a job? Give reasons or examples to support your opinion.

其實不管是多益還是全民英檢的口說或寫作，基本上都不算是好準備的內容，因為口說和寫作這個部分都是需要長時間的練習和累積，較不會有問題通常都是中翻英和簡單的口說問題，但是如果平常不習慣將字句整合成小短文，在口說很容易想到什麼說什麼，寫作也是一樣，這樣很可能會造成說寫下來的內容沒有架構和條理甚至離題，也因為不熟悉的關係需要花更多時間去思考相關單字，其實這都是口說和寫作需要克服的難關。

全民英檢的準備其實會比多益更有條理也是因為它的分類極好，很可惜的是沒有被推廣，加上題目也比較沒有多益那麼活、變化性那麼大，但是全民英檢算是滿好為多益準備做鋪墊，多益未滿400分可以先從全民英檢的中級進入，而且全民英檢GEPT官方網站也整理相當多免費資料方便利用，都是非常基礎有效的學習內容。

不管是TOEIC還是GEPT這兩項考試其實都已經執行已久，多益在台灣則是2003年開始，GEPT則是2000年，其實相差無幾， 其實無論是哪種考試都只是一種英文能力程度的證明而已，而這個證明只是提供給學校或是企業判斷以及篩選人才，或許不應該使用這樣的方式來評斷一個人的能力，稍嫌片面，但不可否認成績是一個非常客觀公正的門檻，努力便有所得。
