Introduction to PETS \ x0d \ x0d \ In order to meet the needs of social development, to provide aid services for foreign language learners, and at the same time to promote the transformation of foreign language teaching in China from exam-oriented education to quality education, and to improve the national foreign language quality, PETS (Public English Examination System) was sponsored by the Ministry of Education and launched nationwide for the first time. The test is supported by the British Overseas Development Agency (ODA) and its English testing experts, which makes the test more authoritative. PETS is an all-round examination system open to the society, and it is a grade-level examination that provides target reference for applicants. It follows the principles of science, justice, accuracy and standardization, and pays special attention to examining candidates' communicative competence. The examination includes a written test and an oral test, which comprehensively examines the listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities of candidates. Those who pass the written test and oral test will be awarded the National English Grade Certificate by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education. The certificate of conformity can not only serve as an authoritative proof of the English level of the holder, but also provide a fair and unified evaluation scale for the English level of the talents used by all localities and units. \x0d\\x0d\ The unified national English grade certificate examination is a non-academic certificate examination, and candidates are not restricted by age, education, occupation, household registration, etc. Anyone who wants to take the exam can sign up.
