@eun08, salamat sa suporta. Gagawin namin yang 'synonym' technique. 🙂
<blockquote rel="eun08">@altuser41 i think i can relate to your wife. I dont have lisps but i do have impaired hearing problems since childhood. And it affected my speech particularly the pronunciation. Ung 's' ko sounds like 'sh'. And when i used the voice to text tool andami p palang speech sounds ko n d mrecognized ng tama.
My speaking score nung first take ng pte is 53. My pronunciation is 47, oral fluency is 66. Actually the lowest score i got was 37 for speaking, that was during my 2nd take.
What i did is I used the template posted by members here. Then i tried if mrecognize sya ng voice to text tool. Ung mga words n d nya mkuha ng tama, pinpalitan ko ng synonyms n marerecognize nya pag sinabi ko. Like for example, ung word the 'projected' ncacapture nya lage as 'protected' sken, so pinlitan ko sya ng 'shown'. Ung 'accurate', pinlitan ko ng 'explicit'. Then yun nga, practice and more practice pa. Yung revised template n yun ang ginamit ko s describe image at s retell lecture. Pra konti n lng yung idadagdag ko.
My speaking score improved to 70, 75 for oral fluency and 58 for pronunciation.
I took PTE five times. I actually thought mas madami pang beses, dahil nga dalawa ung skills n need ko pagtuunan ng pansin. Basta, don't give up. Practice, persistence and prayers will help her get the required scores. Hope this could help.
