音频样本：在PTE考试中，培生添加了一项很重要的因素--一个简短的语音样本，也叫声印。考试开始前，考生须录制一段30秒的自我介绍。将来，该音频文件将和考试成绩一起被送到学校。对那些重视实用口语的人来说，PTE考试提供了一个更好的机会。
　　
Audio sample: An important element that Pearson has added is a brief audio sample, or voice print. The test-taker has to record a 30-second self-introduction clip before starting the test. The clip is delivered along with test scores to the prospective school. This gives a better chance to those who prize their practical oral skills.
　　
难点：对中国考生来说，自我介绍是一个全新的考试项目。因此，他们需要好好准备。
　　
Difficulties: The self-introduction part is new to Chinese, so they need to be well-prepared.
