Dear Abby,

How are you? Today I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you.        76        

I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my       77        

further education. One hundred and twenty students took exam      78        

for it, but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However,      79        

my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me        80        

going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me          81        

for a whole year and they are afraid of I will feel lonely.  They       82        

can’t imagine a girl so young live alone. They advise me to study      83        

in the capital instead. Then I’ll be able to continue living  with        84        

them. How can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?    85        

Best wishes,

Jane

The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive(综合的) exam for students who seek to study in American and other English-speaking countries, Xinhua News Agency reported from New York.

The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang Wei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America’s leading educational organization.

The Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.

However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), the GRE(Graduate Record Examination), or the IELTS(International English Language Testing System).

“I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,” said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.

Most of Xu’s classmates have never heard of the APIEL. “The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.” said Jen.

The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xinhua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission.

Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL measures a student’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy(精确) and resourcefulness, and writing with clarity and fluency(流畅), Jen said.

I have been a friend with Li Ming since we go to primary school. He is one of my best friend. But last week something terribly happened to us. In Friday we had a maths exam. When I was busy check my answers, Li Ming whispered me for help. I felt very bad at that moment. We would cheat if I agreed. On other hand, we are good friends, so it was not easy for me to say "no" to my friend. Finally, I did not show her my answers. Though I explained my reasons after the test, but Li Ming didn't forgive me. How should I do?

---Guess what! I have got the highest score in the final exam.
