Hello, VoiceTubers. I'm Nina, and you're listening to the Pronunciation Challenge. Today's video is about standardized tests, which are the same tests given in the same manner to all the test takers. But before watching the video, let's check out the sentence of the day.
Sentence
Or it could be evaluated with reference to set criteria, such as carrying a certain amount of weight a certain distance up a certain number of stairs. 或者可以參考既定標準來評估，像是揹著特定重量的東西爬上指定的樓梯數量。
Pronunciation tips
1. evaluated 2. criteria 3. certain (silent “t”) 4. amount of (linking sound) 5. up a (linking sound)
Vocabulary 1. evaluate (v.) KK[ɪˋvæljʊ͵et] IPA /ɪˈvæl.ju.eɪt/ Def: to judge or calculate the quality, importance, amount, or value of something 評估 Eg. We evaluate employees based on their performance. 我們根據員工的績效進行評估。
2. distance (n.) KK[dɪstəns] IPA /ˈdɪs.təns/ Def: the amount of space between two places 距離 Eg. He travels quite a distance to work every day. 他每天上班的路途很遠。

Alright, that's all for today's episode. I never knew the first standardized test was from China. Today, standardized tests are used in many areas, like how we evaluate firefighters, get driver's licenses, or the tests we took in school. By the way, I was horrible at taking tests. Well, do you think we should get rid of standardized testing? Or do you think it's the best way to evaluate things now? Let us know your answers in the comments, and don't forget to record the sentence. I'll see you next time!
