1.听力和阅读
Answers can be written on the answer sheet in upper case, lower case; both are acceptable.答案可以用大写也可以用小写,两种方式均可。
也就是说在听力和阅读考试中大小写都无所谓,不管人名、地名或专有名词,只要拼写正确都是可以的。
举个例子,如果答案处需要填写的是泰国,那大家写Thailand或者thailand都是正确的。
来看一下雅思官网给出的关于雅思听力的说明:
“As you listen, write your answers on the question paper. At the end of the test, you will have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet in pencil. You may write your answers either in lower case or in capital letters.”
所以说大小写其实不是问题,应该把注意力放在单词拼写上,因为拼写错误是肯定要被扣分的噢!
在阅读考试中也是同样的情况,但是阅读考试多数的答案是来自于文章原文,所以你可以自己去评判。
2. 但是在雅思写作中,正确的使用大写是非常必要的。所以要牢记英文大写的9条规则。
