　　A few weeks ago, we talked about the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL. A listener in Cambodia named Thida asks if American colleges and universities also accept the IELTS exam. IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It was developed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.

　　Cambridge University

　　Cambridge ESOL says the test measures true­to­life ability to communicate in English for education, immigration or employment. The IELTS tests listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. It uses a mixture of accents and spellings, including British English and American English.

　　The test is used by government agencies, schools and professional organizations in one hundred twenty

　　countries.

　　__20__ Many American schools that accept the IELTS can be found on the Web at ielts.org.

　　__21__. But the graduate school at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, for example, says it

　　prefers the IELTS.

　　The listening and speaking parts are the same for everyone who takes the IELTS. But people have a choice

　　of reading and writing tests—either academic or general training. The listening test takes thirty minutes.

　　__22__.

　　The reading test takes sixty minutes. Students answer forty questions based on three written passages.
