@NicoDC - don't lost hope.. Try to avail the Gold package exam from PTE website. You're score from there will be your benchmark. Normally mas mahirap yung gold package kaysa sa actual exam.
Read Aloud - Napansin ko. Don't just read, but read with feelings. Try to read a bit louder.
- Retell lecture - Make some notes, and then look into the image while talking. Talk and Talk within that 40secs, kahit taliwas na sa lecture. Who knows..
Describe Image
3.1. Normally what I do is General to Specific. Mention yung title ng graph, then ano yung x axis, then ano yung y axis.. then saang source
3.2 Describe what is very visible - example yung maximum or yung minimum na data
3.3 Describe the trend - is it directly proportional, inversely proportional, uptrend or downtrend
3.4 Compare - Compare mo yung pinakamataas and then yung pinakamababa..
Example: "The highest in the graph is plastic which is around 5 Tons", whereas the lowest is from non-biodegradable waste which is 1 Ton, that's almost 5 times differents.
3.5 Say what type of graph it is - "This line graph shows", "This pie Chart shows".
3.6 Last resort - if you don't know how to explain the graph, just describe the color(technique na nabasa ko somewhere else).
Base on the above it's almost ~40secs na yan which is enough for the answer.
Repeat Sentence - For me, nawawala ako pagdating ng last word.. so lagi kong tinatandaan ang last word.. I guess for this is really practice..
Answer short question - As much as possible only one word. If you don't know the answer, just speak anything. as in anything.
Practice practice.. pray pray pray..
Hope this helps, gudluck ..
