国际英语语言测试系统（IELTS）由英国文化协会（British Council）发布，是进入英国，澳大利亚（以及许多美国）大学和高等教育学院所需要的最公认的语言资格之一。如果您打算在海外大学学习或在以英语为母语的国家/地区永久工作，则可能需要提供雅思考试资格才能证明您的英语水平。
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is issued by the British Council and it is one of the most recognized language qualifications required for entry into British, Australian (and many American) universities and colleges of higher education. If you are planning to study at a University overseas or work permanently in a country where English is the first language, you may need to provide the IELTS qualification to demonstrate your level of English.
