“Our aim is to allow students to familiarize themselves with the exams in a short time,” Tang Wenxin, 22, a teacher at New Oriental, says. But to make full use of such courses, the importance of self-study can’t be ignored.

今年22岁的唐文新是新东方的一名老师，他说，“我们的目标是让学生在短时间内熟悉考试。”但是，要想让培训课程取得最好的效果，自学仍然很重要。

Rather than test-taking skills, Zhang Yang, 23, a business administration major at Anhui Jianzhu University who once took a one-month TOEFL training course, says she benefited from the atmosphere most.

培训班带来的也许不只是考试技巧。就读于安徽建筑大学、23岁的张洋说，她曾参加过一个月的托福培训班，而令她收获最多的却是其中的学习氛围。

“My teachers and classmates gave me helpful advice on writing personal statements and resumes. I know more about the application procedure for foreign universities now,” she says.

张洋说，“老师和同学在写个人陈述和简历方面给了我很多有用的建议，同时让我对国外大学的申请流程也有了更多的了解。”

Most training courses, however, don’t cater to individual needs as there are too many students. Sun Siyu, 21, an English major at Beijing University of Technology, is taking an IELTS training course with 100 students. “I often find the grammar knowledge we are taught is not what I need,” she says.
