    thanks for all your very good insights mga boss.. @heero_yuy51 @panda @MLBS
    sana nga gumanda invites ngayon pero mukhang sobrang competitive nito ngayong 2018. As of now di naman kami nagmamadali pero kung need na talaga magpataas ng points magretake ako ng PTE.

    @kymme @Strader @Heprex. At sa mga nag visa lodge or sa may grant na.Question po. Sa portion na non migrating members of the family unit sa pag create ng immi account na indicate ko kasi pati parents at siblings ko. Na misinterpret ko na sa form 80 lang pala dapat sila ilagay. Eto yung link na nabasa ko sa dibp.

    https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Migrationagents/Pages/member-of-family-unit.aspx

    Need ko din ba magsubmit ng form to correct incorrect entry? Or understood na ba ng CO yun na di sila kasama sa application? Kasi ako at dependent ko lang naman ang may bayad sa visa fee.

    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.

    @jjap i think the applicant has to go back to ph first and start from scratch visa-application wose. kasi automatic ata na may ‘no further stay’ ang 400. im not too familiar with that visa but u can read more sa homeaffairs

    @Heprex sa tita ko kc ako nanghihiram ng pambayad ko sa migration agent ko. complete na docs ko pero di pa q nakakapagpa medical kc kanina umaga pa lang nagbayad tita ko sa ofis nila. ito na kc ung final na payment ko. Before mag lodge ng visa sbi nila need ko muna bayad ng fees tas included na dun ung visa fee ah. Then kanina umaga pumunta tita ko sa office nila to pay for the final payment. Tas ayub na nga naka leave daw ung agent ko sabi nung accountant nila. Diba agent q na din mag a upload ng docs q. So meaning need q tlga mag wait kc wala nman aq magagawa. Nagtataka nga din aq bakit di pa nila ipasa sa ibang agent eh ang mahal kaya ng bayad ah. Aud #:-S

    @eynah_gee hi.
    Sorry to say but dapat inuuna kayo ng agent nyo kasi client kayo, lalo na nagbayad na kayo. Sana in-endorse nalang sa ibang agent.
    Try mo kaya i-pull out? Heheheh para matakot sila.
    Seriously parang ang customer service nila pag ganun. Just my thoughts.

    @Heprex @jacjacjac hi guys, ayoko nman na makipag diskusyon since tita ko na ang mismong pumunta sa office nila kanina. If tatawag aq eh ggastos pa q ng pang overseas call. Kaya iniisip q nlng na way nlng ni Lord un kc wala pa q pampa medical hahahhaha! Nung umuwi kc aq ng pinas nung pasko nahulas pera ko eh. Kaya ngaun pag magpamedical na q eh nganga until katapusan. :P walang halong biro guys, though may credit card aq pero ayoko gamitin. Kaya cge un nlng. Di q na stressin sarili q. Pkisama nlng aq sa prayers nyo. Salmat! :x

    @eynah_gee i feel you kapatid. Sobrang hirap maghanap ng pera para sa visa application. Kahit kami din naman loan dito loan doon mapuno lang ang kailangang pera, btw 3 kami as family. Ramdam ko na since spetember ang bayarin at madalas din na nasho-short na din, pero go lang kasi in the end, para sa kinabukasan naman ng family ito.

    Anyway, just request sa agency na iexpedite ang processing nyo since sila naman ang may pagkukulang, sana ininform kayo beforehand na magli-leave si agent nyo habang nakapagbayad na kayo ng fee. Or request for another person to handle your application. You can lodge even without medicals. At least alam mong umuusad yung application mo. Habang nagpapamedical ka, may time ka p in case na ma-co contact ka to provide what they will request.
