11日上午,新黄河记者就此事拨打教育部教育考试院雅思考试报名网站咨询电话。工作人员表示,考试院目前掌握的情况是考试确实取消了,相关费用也已经退回到考生报考账户。对于考生们反映的异地赴考产生机酒赔偿诉求不由我们这里负责,相关事宜可以联系考试主办方核实。
A staff member at the Ministry of Education's IELTS registration hotline confirmed the cancellation and said fees had been refunded to candidates' accounts. Compensation for travel and hotel costs was not their responsibility, and candidates should contact the test organizer, the staff member said.

“我考完口语出来,告诉我取消了,成绩作废,我人都懵了。”珠海考生介绍,考场工作人员是临时接到总部通知,目前仅会退还考试费。同考场有考生崩溃大哭,称自己有待确认的offer急需语言成绩,因处于申请旺季,考位难求,珠海剩余考位已排至11月份。
