Hello everyone! You're one step closer to achieving your dream in Australia cos you are here in this forum. Maraming natulungan ang forum na ito. Nagstart ako as being a silent reader so, kung isa ka sa mga yun ngayon, I suggest magregister ka na dito. Wag na tamarin o magdalawang isip. Go make your email kung ayaw ipakita ang identity. For sure makakatulong ito saiyo. At sa mga registered na currently reviewing, don't lose hope. We are just heading forward..not backwards..regardless kung ilang beses na nagtake as long as you are moving forward, pwede magpahinga pero go ahead lang you can't stop kasi mabobother ka lang din na magtake ulit. So, don't lose hope
I was once struggling to pass PTE. 65 lang rrequirement ko so akala ko madali lang kaya di ko sineryoso yung 1st take ko. so eto grade ko:
L/R/S/W = 56/69/48/67 (Sept 24 2016)
Speaking : Mic position - nasa mouth tapos nagblow ako kasi kala ko tapos na haha so narecord yun
Read aloud - wala ako intonation tapos akala ko kasi kapag dahan dahan magsalita tataas pronunciation. Hindi pala. repeat sent: napapause ako kasi d ako sanay. Describe image:
wala ako template nyan at i'm trying to describe everything which is my default way of thingking..so it ended up stutter kasi hindi makasabay bibig ko sa thoughts na gusto ko sabhn. retell- pinakanhrapan ako..di ko masabay yung cnsb sa sinusulat..
listening : I missed last two write dictation na mataas pala yung mark so mabaab grade ko.
So inassess ko pagkukulang ko. ngsearch ako sa net nakita ko to forum.
Then ganito ginawa ko: ngpahinga ako mga 3-4weeks kasi puno na booking.
Naka 2 ourchase ako ng mock test online para magauge ko yung grade ko then gamit ko yung earphone lang kasi wala ako headset.
Ganito inaral ko:
Read aloud: Normal tone of voice. No need to make it loud. promise!otherwise sisitahin ng centre. Basahin maige yung paragraph habang hnd pa recording then don't make false start dapat confident sa unang word palang. maintain your tone.
Then yung pagread medyo binilisan ko kasi mabagal ako magbasa noon. Pero yung definition ng binilisan naging equivalent as normal pacing. for example : "China, therefore, increased their stocks"(dalawang comma yan pero pagkabasa ko China (0.2 sec) therefore (0.2 sec) so mabilis lang hnd aabot ng (0.5 sec) pero kapag yung sample ng sentence ganito: "Crops include barley, rice, bread, (cgro mga 0.4 secs) mas obvious yung pause ng konti. Gets nyo? Tapos kapag 'period' ang indicator ko isa one inhale.
Repeat sentence: Practice talaga to kasi hirap na hirap ako dati. Nilagay ko yung lahat ng repeat senteces ni Kelly at Macmillan sa ipod ko tapos paulit ulit as ulit ulit tlaga (kapag nasa train ako, or naghhntay ng bus yun lang pineplay ko kahit memorise ko na yung sentences) Yung una, 1st phrase pakinggan ko tapos pause then recite 1st phrase then play ulit then 2nd phrase pause and recite then recite whole sentences. (gawin mo to one week effective)
Describe image: Make a template .
The (chart/graph) projected on the screen is entitled (--) between (years covered, if there's any)
Based on the presented data, it can be clearly seen that (--- has/have the highest/largest ..(title e.g car theft among others).
Figures for (e.g 1998 is approximately 98% of car theft) or (America has approximately 98% of car theft in 1998) <you are referring to the highest> whereas the lowest is/was (1992 at only 20% or Australia at only 20%)
Therefore, this graph is accurate and concise and can be used as reference for future studies ff the same objective.
- note: kung pano pacing ng read aloud, ganun ka din dapat magsalita dito
