從國資委等八大機關系統中選拔出來的6200多名駕駛員志愿者將接受北京奧祖委的統一英語水平測試，由于要求有較長駕齡，不少志愿者年紀較大，英語水平也參差不齊。此次測試評估將于今年12月16日至明年1月底，利用周末時間分組在奧祖委指定的四個駕駛員訓練基地進行。全部測試員將由北京外國語大學英語學院優秀學生擔任。

More than 6,200 volunteer drivers in Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games will receive English language proficiency test from next weekend to the end of January.

The volunteers were picked from eight governmental departments including the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

They were asked to use weekends to go to four driving training bases designated by the organizing committee for the Beijing Olympics to receive tests and evaluation about their English communication capability.

Students of English major with good academic records from the renowned Beijing Foreign Studies University will work as testing instructors.

A training scheme will be made based on the test results, according to Sunday's Beijing News.

The paper said the volunteers are "quite uneven" in English proficiency because of an age gap.
