@iamJ in my opinion, I understand why Jrooz would say na di ok ang template for the conclusion - kasi kung mapapansin mo yung conclusion is very generic, not so much contributing sa content. Bilang review center, I understand why they would stick to teaching ”by the book” - teaching what is right ika nga.
Sa mga forum and discussions naman na kagaya dito, what you will get are strategies and tips and tricks from actual test takers. Those who can attest na they have used the exact templates and achieved their desired scores.
The template ensures na you can respond and record your answer in a structured manner, and with the purpose na it will fit sa allotted time na 36-38 seconds.
There is definitely no time for you to do impromptu, or think of anything sa 10 seconds prep time. You will understand more of this as you begin your review and practice.
As professionals who uses English as our medium of communication on a daily basis at work, I know that we all can express our ideas ng impromptu - with a few allowances sa brain dead moment trying to remember the more appropriate words to say. With PTE - we don’t have that liberty.
40 seconds in and out - you have to speak fluently and grammatically correct and to be honest - ang makakagawa lang siguro nyan if ever e yun talagang magagaling sa English. Remember that even native speakers e nag struggle sa time constraint na iyan.
In the end, ikaw pa din makakadecide which path you should take. I’d say you take the good things na pede mong gamitin both from review center and from us para sa iyong success. Goodluck 🙂
