    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    @Loknoy21 I mean ang nakalagay sa immiaccount na info, 9-12 months na ang estimate processing time from 5-8 months last month na info. Well mag iiba rin naman to anytime.

    Nakita ko rin yung sa immitracker na nov 24 lodge na na grant onshore, pero parang fluke pa kase dami pa from Nov 21 na hindi nag update at ang iba dito is onshore din, hopefully mag uupdate sila this week para ma check natin if nasa week of nov 24 na talaga ang grant ngayon.

    Hello! I'll start na po the process soon so meron lang po akong quest. Hope someone can answer.

    1. Where did you get your PTE/IELTS here in ph and how much?

    2. For detailed syllabus, do i need to get all of the subjects including minor or just the major subjects?

    3. For COE how detailed it should be? What if ayaw ipaalam sa HR hehe is there any alternatives?

    4. I only have 1 employer pero nalipat lipat na ko in 3 different positions so that's AP, AR, and claims analyst. Kelangan ko ba hingan ng COE lahat ng positions na yan or pwede isang COE lang tapos naka detailed na lang ung mga experience na yan? current position kasi included in my COE will be general accountant.

    Thanks! :)

    @angelt Please see below:

    1. Where did you get your PTE/IELTS here in ph and how much? - For PTE, please register and schedule an exam here https://pearsonpte.com/book-now
    - Before that, get a voucher here para makamura ka. https://www.aeccglobal.com/ph/ptevoucher/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAiKrUBRD6ARIsADS2OLm89TAO5tqEhBS9Hhfg6mAaiawMpO85-hOuEjM5oWLPAXlAz-7WJ7saAiFvEALw_wcB

    2. For detailed syllabus, do i need to get all of the subjects including minor or just the major subjects? - I am not sure how to answer this question. Pero the materials that I used were from YOUTUBE lang. I think E2Learning yung page. BTW, this is for PTE.

    3. For COE how detailed it should be? What if ayaw ipaalam sa HR hehe is there any alternatives? - If this is for skill assessment, AFAIK, it should show your JD or yung mga tasks na ginagawa mo. You can check the assessing authority for your nominated skill kung anu ang requirements nya. If ayaw mo paalam sa HR, you can do a statutory declaration and have your immediate superior sign it for you.

    4. I only have 1 employer pero nalipat lipat na ko in 3 different positions so that's AP, AR, and claims analyst. Kelangan ko ba hingan ng COE lahat ng positions na yan or pwede isang COE lang tapos naka detailed na lang ung mga experience na yan? current position kasi included in my COE will be general accountant. - If kaya macover with 1 COE the better.

    @Loknoy21 hindi po. 35 days yung CO contact. hehe kung hindi lang ako pinaulit ng medicals and hindi humingi ng further evidence of employment income, DG sana yun. Kasi yung mga kabatch ko din na offshore nagapply, DG sila within that same week. Kaya ko nasabi po na lodging offshore or onshore won't matter when it comes to visa processing times. Kakareceive lang namin ng grant nung feb 16 and thats 122 days after a CO contact.
