    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.

    May tanong lang po ako before ako maglodge ng 189 visa. Currently po kasi waiting ako ng grant ko sa 457 visa. Last week lang po ako naglodge ng 457. tapos bigla naman po ako na-invite for 189 ngayon. Ano po best ko gawin?

    Should I wait na ma-grant sa 457 bago ako mag lodge ng 189?
    or
    Mag lodge na po ako ng 189 ngayon kahit waiting pa ko sa 457 grant?

    Maraming salamat po sa magrereply :)

    @jammmy if I were to choose...ill go for V-189 kasi PR na ito, may work ka man o wala you can stay.. Waiting time will be abit more pero worth it nman, Sobra...

    V-457 Employer Sponsored (Temporary Visa) - until you are employed you can stay.

    yan po ay opinion ko lang...and sa tingin ko na will fit my needs.


    @lil_machi dito ka tumambay madaming mga tips here...

    @Jwade Hi! accdg sa friend ko, nung sia daw nainvite, she submitted everything na, including her passport, the form that needs to be filled out, bank statement with her salary from the other employers, ITR for PH work. Kasi daw pg mgwait pa for feedback from the CO eh mas mattagalan process, she did all those once she received the ITA and then got the grant in less than 3 months.

    Hope this helps. :)

    @Pebbles @EGMS_AU2017 iniisip ko po kung iwiwithdraw ko yung 457 visa ko. pano naman po yung employer ko? Hired po nila ako tapos iinjanin ko sila? I mean pwede naman po ako tumuloy sa work na yun right? Kahit iwithdraw ko yung 457? I believe pinagka-gastusan na po yata nila ko given na nominated at nilodge na nila yung 457 visa ko.

    Kapag na-cancel ko 457 visa ko at nagpatuloy sa 189 gano na po ba katagal ngayon ang grant ng 189 given na complete ang docs na na-isubmit ko tipong lahat ng advise dito for lodging ay sinunod ko, gano katagal po estimated aabutin yung grant ko for 189?

    And mejo pinagiisipan ko po ang pag-cancel sa 457 visa kasi nakapagbayad na po ako para dun kasama dependent ko. I don't think mare-refund ko sya kahit na mauna ko i-withdraw bago ma-grant or vise versa.
    Then malaki-laki din ang babayadan sa 189. kung alam ko lang na maiinvite ako.. haha


    @agd Thank you po!

    I received my ITA / NSW approval today. Thank God!

    Gusto ko po sana tanungin yung mga gagawin sa medical para mapaghandaan ko. OK lang ba na HAP ID muna ang kunin, bago mag-lodge ng visa?

    Thanks :)

    @jammmy , totoo gumastos na sila sau. so para sa akin the best mong gawin is magdasal ka na ma-approve visa mo ng 457 before magexpire yung invite mo. para malodge mo onshore yung 189 visa.

    May kakilala kasi ako na same case mo. Sabi nya sakin, di daw ma allow ng immiacct mag lodge ng 189 nya kasi nakapending pa ang 457. So hinintay pa niya ma grant ang 457 then dun na xa naglodge ng 189. sa 60th day nga nya na lodge ang 189 kasi sa 58th day pa na grant ang 457.
