    @siantiangco actually di siya makakarepeat ng medical kasi need niya HAP ID. Discretion kasi yun ni CO. In my case, my medical was not yet expired nung na 1st CO contact ako then nung 2nd CO contact and grant, expired na medical ko.. Wag niya itanong kung need ba niya magpamedical ulit kasi baka ipagmedical siya. Nung nagfeedback ako, di ko minention yun, di rin pinaulit medical ko.. pero napansin ko lang ah kapag ang work is related sa heath minsan pinapaulit ung medical kahit di la expired Pero wag niya itanong kasi baka palusutin naman siya.

    @siantiangco i’m a nurse here!☺️ Pero sad to say, lahat ng kakilala ko na ginamit yung old medical nila nung bridging hindi nakalusot. NaCO contact pa din at pinarepeat ang medical. Some were asked during the first CO contact, some on the 2nd CO contact. In my case, I had my first medical lst January 2017. Lodged my visa October 2017. But I had my medical repeated last september 2017.

    @Loknoy21 Hi! Girl po ako :) Ganun din kami, yung husband ko ang primary applicant.

    Yung passport nya kasi mag e-expire na sa July, naka-apply na kami ng renewal pero ende umabot today kasi mukhang end of the month pa namin makukuha. One of the reasons kaya din kami na CO contact.

    Payslips tsaka COEs lang na upload namin. Kasi mostly ng documents namin naka Japanese, (dito pala kami sa Japan naka base) so ang mahal magpa translate kaya nagbaka sakali kami na makalusot lang payslips at certificate of employment. Pero ende so, gastos ulet, balak namin tax returns at bank statements naman ang ipasa.

    Kelan kayo naglodge? Mukhang from Dec 20-23 for 190 ang pina process nila this week...

    Sa tingin ko may time pa kayo for renewal, san ba kayo naka base sa Pinas ba? Mabilis naman ata kapag sa pinas. Kapag overseas kasi matagal...

    Yung processing sa 189, mukhang nasa Nov 26 pa lang naman...

    https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/work/work/allocation-dates-for-general-skilled-migration-applications

    Renew nyo na, pede na yan kasi sa May na ang expiration, dapat at least 6 months or more ang validity ang passport. Mahahabol nyo pa yan bago i process yung application nyo. Goodluck!

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.
