雅思考试主要是通过对考生听、说、读、写四个方面英语能力的考核，综合测评考生的英语沟通运用能力，实现“沟通为本”的考试理念。对于雅思考生来说，也有很多考试难点和政策盲区需要帮助解答。今天雅思无忧网小编准备了雅思官方ESOL对听力大小写问题的回复，希望通过文章来解决雅思考生这方面的疑难问题，敬请关注。
Dear Esol,
I am an IELTS teacher in China. Here I have a question regarding IELTS Listening. Many students are confused about the capital letter in Listening Test. When is it necessary to capitalize the first letter?
What is the safest way to deal with this "capital letter" problem? Say if we put the answer all in block letters, is it acceptable? Will the student be punished simply because he does not capitalize the initial letter?
I have checked the Past Sample Papers like Cambridge IELTS 4,5 & 6 and I found some answers which are in capital letters hard to explain. So please help clarify this question and I believe it is a very common question to Chinese students.
Thanks and best regards.
You Wenfeng

Update:
Dear You Wenfeng,
Thank you for your enquiry. In IELTS listening candidates are allowed to write their answers in upper or lower case.
I hope that this is of assistance.
Kind Regards

所谓的 In IELTS listening candidates are allowed to write their answers in upper or lower case意思就是说不会因为大小写而扣分。其实，可以看得出来，雅思官方改卷时还是很机动灵活的，不像一些老师所说的那么死板。当然，我建议烤鸭们该首字母大写的尽量还是应该大写，不过没必要因为大小写问题给自己太大的压力。
