☆ proctor（名詞）監考人

This year, the English listening test was first added to the Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School Students. However, several faculty proctors failed to follow the official order that tests would end at the signal of a bell after the conclusion of the recording. They, instead, asked the examinees to turn in their exam papers as soon as the recording on the listening tape had concluded. This resulted in many examinees losing five minutes of exam time. Short as three to five minutes may sound, the amount of time lost would influence the chances of a student substantially when applying for high school entry.

今年，聽力測驗首度納入國中教育會考中。然而，部分監試人員沒能遵守試務會指示在考試結束鈴聲響後才收卷。而是要求考生們在錄音帶播放完畢後交卷。這導致許多考生少了五分鐘左右的考試時間。聽起來三到五分鐘並不長，但這樣的時間足以影響考生申請入學的機會。

☆ lenient（形容詞）仁慈的;寬容的

Last week a meeting was held to ponder damage control options to this nationwide English listening test oversight. The committee chief of this year’s program, Jingmei Girls High School principal Huang Yun-chin, said the committee will be lenient toward vague answers, and a compensation solution would come out to rectify the mistake as soon as possible.

上週，國中教育會考全國試務會已召開會議，討論全國英聽測驗疏失的補救方案。全國試務會主任委員，也是景美女中校長黃贇瑾表示，對於考生答案評分將從寬認定，而補救措施也會盡快產生。
