Features: This book includes 12 sets of simulated tests, with detailed explanations provided for each set. The sample papers are highly targeted and forward-looking, making them suitable for candidates' pre-examination training and for teachers to analyze the exam direction. PETS (Public English Test System) is currently the largest, most widely participated-in, and most complex authoritative non-academic English proficiency test in China. It is a brand-new social English proficiency testing system in terms of both question types and testing format, evaluating language learners' abilities across five sections. The content covers listening, English knowledge application, reading comprehension, writing, and speaking, aiming to ensure students not only understand what they read but also what they hear, ultimately achieving fluent and natural conversations and the ability to express thoughts fully in English. PETS Level 1 is the initial level of this testing system, with its requirements slightly higher than the English proficiency expected upon graduation from junior high school. Candidates should master approximately 1,000 vocabulary words and related phrases. The PETS Level 1 exam consists of a written test and an oral test. The written test lasts 90 minutes and includes four sections: listening, English knowledge application, reading comprehension, and writing. To help candidates prepare effectively and perform well in practice, this book was compiled strictly according to the "National Public English Test System Syllabus" issued by the Ministry of Education Examination Center, as well as the Level 1 sample questions. The listening section includes rich and diverse images, making it vivid and engaging, while the reading section features mostly interesting and thought-provoking articles. The writing tasks are often closely related to daily life. Therefore, the compilation of this test fully follows the learning process, progressing from simple to complex, step by step, in a lively and engaging manner. This helps candidates consolidate and improve their skills while also giving them a sense of being in the actual exam environment, laying a solid psychological foundation for the test.
