RL is the most common inquiry I get from you guys - so whether you need this additional info or not - posting here nalang sa forum for everyone’s reference.
Again - ito ay options lang for you. If you feel na using the keyword strategy e works perfectly fine for you e stick with it. Just take whatever is useful from us (we just provide guidance and tips and strategies that worked for us personally and to some na graduate na din sa pte)
Ultimately - ako ang goal ko is to see you achieve your desired score (ma pa proficient or superior man yan) 🙂
Sa RL - I use the template for the wordings and structure ng entire response, pero instead of using just the keywords, ang effective na nag ok sakin na strategy is yung mag capture ng complete sentences within the lecture. Tapos saka ko sya I insert sa template and mention it with careful consideration sa coherency. Medyo tricky ito kasi within the 10 seconds prep, dun mo i mark sa notepad mo alin yun sasabihin mo and somehow mabilisan mo din iisipin paano sya masabi without sounding na nagbasa ka lang ng 2 sentences out of nowhere.
This takes time and with enough practice, makakasanayan mo na din.
Common question asked :
When to start writing sentences and when to stop?
- As we don’t know how long the lecture is, let alone the topic (unless nakasama sya sa mga madami mong na ipractice) - you will continue to write approx around 3-4 sentences. You cannot stop at 2, kasi baka yung ika 3rd or 4th sentence ang more relevant, in the same manner na maari din na yung first two sentences pala ang relevant pero since di naten alam ang takbo ng lecture, we will keep on taking down notes.
That being said, important to practice taking notes. I recommend replicating the erasable notepad and marker na, para saktong sakto na talaga ang practice. Mauubusan ka ng space panigurado kaya wag naman sing laki ng pa banner ang sulat 🙂
As per template
Use intro - insert Topic
Body -
Use 2 relevant sentences na na acquire
Conclusion - use generic conclusion
*Worthwhile to note na kahit gaano ka kagaling na mag English or mag compose ng sentence - you won’t be able to do it within the 40 second time limit, that is why we recommend using pre structured response (such as the template).
Maaring magaling tayo in conversing and contructing our responses ano during meetings, project presentations, conferences with our directors - but none of those limits us to respond within 40 seconds - and that is the struggle na we are trying to overcome sa RL with the use of templates. No time na tayo pairalin ang ating train of thought, no time for impromptu, no allowances given for dead air and stuttering.
