    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.

    @lilith if its a meal its okay with them. Drinks lang ang bawal. Its a general rule kasi before pumasok sa immigration pinapa consume/dispose na ang drinks. Kahit may bata bawal talaga unless nakalagay sa feeding bottles, pero minimal amount lang. We were able to bring in burgers, fries and sundae.

    @Hendro The forms only ask for the postal address. Just let Medicare know when you submit the form since you'll need to show up to a service centre anyway.

    @rjlim so far okay naman. Holiday pa today so hindi pa ako makapag ayos ng medicare/centrelink etc.
    Busy sa pag grocery hehe
    Yesterday since Sunday nakapag ikot ako sa mall, sa westfied, nag scout ng mga murang gamit sa bahay na kelangan like pillows, toiletries etc. Mura and maganda rin nmn sa kmart. Nag compare ng prices, mejo same din sa sg yung mga shoes, damit basta hnd ka maxado tumitingin sa brand.
    Yung grocery nmn sa woollies kasi nasa baba lang ng bahay namin. So far yun pa lang naman.

    Update!
    Went to Parramatta where the service centre and medicare are just two blocks away from each other. All done in two hours.
    1. TFN was applied online
    2. Working With Children Check
    - go to the service centre with your passport, atm card, and pay $80
    - WWCC number will be emailed after 2-3 working days
    3. Medicare
    - go to medicare/centrelink office with your passport, grant letter, and application form
    - After they encode your details and make a copy of your passport and grant letter, they will give you a temporary ID (A4 paper)
    4. Centrelink
    - No need for single individuals
