1st essay exam = introduction = 2 sentences.. main body = 4 sentences ata??
2nd essay exam= introduction = 2 sentences .. main body = 4 sentences....concluding paragrap = 1 sentence.. bitin pa hindi ko natapos...ngak!!!
kaya medyo naguguluhan ako kung ilalaban ko yung scores ko para i submit sa EOI...if yung pinagbabasehan ng DIBP ay yung communicative skills... ang equivalent ng mga scores ko ay halos band 7 and up.. tama po ba??? which is 10 pts...
or maybe nagkaroon ng glitch dun sa written discourse???
sa mga kinauukulan tanong lang po ulit.. yung Communicative Skills po ba ang i coconsider na result ng PTE-A exam ng DIBP?? or yung enabling scores?? or baka silipin din ng DIBP yung enabling scores??
pa advise naman po.. heheheh.. salamat in advance
napapaisip tuloy ako kung mag retake ulit ako...

hindi po ako nag take ng IELTS.. i enrolled po sa IELTS (18hrs training) sa BC last march 2015.. plan ko na po mag take ng april or may.. pero po dahil sa katamaran mag self review.. mag haharakiri style na po sana ako na mag take ng IELTS bahala na kung ano mangyari.. ma experience lang ba...hanggang maipasa kung kailanman.... until nakita ko yung PTE forum.. kaya nag backout ako at nag shift sa PTE....
sa totoo lang po.. hindi talaga ako makapaniwala na nakalusot sa PTE.... hindi po talaga ako nag review ng masinsinan.. ang sabi ko sa sarili ko.. mangyari na ang mangyayari...mag take na lang ulit kapag semplang... pero sinamahan ko ng dasal...
balak ko i share yung experience ko ....hmmmm... ewan kung kapupulutan ng aral??? hehehehe

at grabe ang paghabol ko sa oras!! mangiyak ngiyak ako kala ko di na ako aabot. panay dasal ko sa taxi.. haha.. binaba ako ni manong sa rcbc para hindi na umikot kasi baka matrapik lang.. so mula fire station nilakad ko na papuntang rcbc.. hindi ko pa sure kung tama yung nilalakad ko.. hahaha nakatawid na ako pero wala pa ako makitang trident tower na katulad sa picture ng building na nakita ko.. hahah 10 mins nalang natitira sa oras ko nun simula bumama ako taxi.. grabe talaga ang takbo ko at pagmamadali.. super di ko malilimutan yung araw na yun.. tapos naglakad na lang ako, sabi ko bahala na.. tas ayun voila! may building na kala ko sarado.. haha tapos 312 lang nakalagay sa glass door.. kala ko yun na.. binagalan ko lakad.. laking tuwa ko nung makita ko trident tower.. hahahah madali talaga ako.. pati yung guard napamadali.. kasi parang 5 mins nalang natitira sa time ko.. hahaha
hay mas masakit siguro kung di ako makatake dahil sa na late ako.. mawawala ganun ganun yung 205usd.. buti nalang talga.. thank you Lord di mo po ako pinabayaan.. hanggang ngayon pag naaalala ko yung paghabol ko kanina, nangingiyak ngiyak pa rin ako. hahaha
anyway, hindi talaga ganun ka private sa pearson makati.. 4 kami nagtake kanina.. tapos naririnig ko yung mga sagot nila, nagrereflect sa headset ko.. kahit yung isang nasa dulo.. pati pagtype niya parang nag eecho sa headset ko.. mas prefer ko yung privacy sa bright centre.. same lang din headset na gamit nila..
ESSAY TOPIC ko kanina:
1. Something about whether I agree if yung formal written examination do not effectively assess students' learning.. provide arguments, reasons, etc..
2. Discuss both opinions whether or not English, as the international language, is losing its dominance due to globalisation..
