自2018年起，ETS將TOEFL的Taiwan全部改成Taiwan, China。今天要報名時看了很不爽。
付190美金給一個連自己國籍都寫不正確的爛機構，我愈想愈火大。
之前似乎曾有台灣人群體寫信抗議，但ETS無動於衷。
無奈之下我只好向申請的大學寫信，問問是否能網開一面，接受不同的英文成績。
我覺得台灣人要動起來，讓大學知道ETS這樣搞。美國的大學都很注重diversity和justic
e，幾乎沒有一間大學的online application把Taiwan放在China底下。
不知道是否有人試過？
這是我剛才寄出的信：
Dear xxxx,
I am very interested in applying to your xxxx program. I am aware that your pr
ogram strictly requires international students to submit TOEFL ibt scores.
I am writing, however, to urge you to accept xxxx score as an alternative to E
TS's TOEFL score, in order to fulfill xxxx's commitment to justice and diversi
ty. This is NOT another uncooperative request from a self-entitled applicant.
Please listen to what I have to say.
ETS, the administrator of TOEFL, disrespects my country, Taiwan, and refuses t
o represent my nationality correctly despite more than two years of constant r
equests from the people of Taiwan. Starting from 2018, ETS began to misleading
ly put Taiwan under China in their application and test report forms, a seriou
s misrepresentation of our nationality that may result in misjudgement of our
applications and wrongful delivery of our score reports. I refuse to shell out
money to an institute that misrepresents my nationality.
I believe that the University of xxxx is deeply committed to justice, rights,
and diversity. In line with this commitment, I urge you to accept my xxxx scor
e as proof of my English proficiency, since ETS has become an institute that m
isrepresents its test takers and disregards their rights. If necessary,
I am more than happy to fly to your institute and sit an English proficiency t
est administered by xxxx which I regard as a fair and just institute.
I know that this request is more than likely to be declined, but I still want
to make my points heard. In a world where injustices abound, we all have the o
bligation to speak out and support each other. In light of what happened
recently in the US, I believe you understand my frustration and indignation. I
can't breathe under ETS.
Kind regards,
xxxx
就算被打回票，我也要讓大學知道有這件事。
歡迎大學修改我的信並拿去用。
我原本寫IELTS，因為我記得自己考IELTS的時候尚未被Taiwan, China。
（但經過查詢，IELTS現在也改成中國台灣了QQ）
有些人可能覺得我很天真吧，但我就是火大啦，不寫白不寫。
