Some people in the comment area obviously don't believe it: say that kindergarten children think IELT 7.5, it's better to say that my classmate IELT thinks 10 points!
Some people sighed: 7.5 is the level of English college students! Why are children so curly now?!
However, this matter has been solved:
This transcript is the transcript of a student taught by a professional IELTS teacher, not her 4-year-old!
Here is a popular science with you:
According to the official website of IELTS Chinese, children under the age of 11 cannot take the IELTS test!

The guardian is required to complete the clause confirmation and the declaration of protection of minors
Even if a 4-year-old can take the test, it is unrealistic to achieve a high IELTS score of 7.5!
Because IELTS not only examines language level, but also examines students' ability to discuss ideas on different topics, it is really "difficult for a few years old".
A few examples of IELTS perspectives:
● Do citizens have to pay taxes?
• Does economic development lead to moral decay while improving people's lives?
● Do juvenile offenders need to receive the same penalties as adult offenders?
• Does the State need to provide assistance to every artist?
How can kindergarten children, who cannot even understand the words "tax", "morality" and "crime", state their views on these topics?
However, such a frightening fake news can still attract many netizens to discuss hotly, and it is also because over the years, the IELTS circle is indeed getting more and more rolled.

In addition to IELTS, the child also took the Cambridge CAE and TOEFL tests in a short period of time!
"At this age, I have gone through a round of big exams, and what other exams will I be afraid of in the future?"

"The involution in Shanghai is quite serious (my daughter attends Shanghai International School), and if you don't fight, you will fall behind... We are also carried forward by the torrent of the times." The impact on English learning at a young age is to have the energy to fight other subjects in the upper grades on the basis of achieving English freedom.
