@eynah_gee yup sa exam namin kahapon sobrang dami.

eynah_gee

Question po ulit, Sa FILL IN THE BLANKS sa LISTENING SECTION are we given enough time to transfer anwers from the sheet of paper to the computer or dapat diretso type ka na while listening? time constraint ba ang section na ito? salamat ulit!

eynah_gee

@lark101 na stress ako bigla sa reply mo. :-O

Ozlaz

@eynah_gee yup enough yung time kasi sakto lang sya sa pagtapos nun pagsasalita nun audio. Yung sa reading ako naubusan ng oras kasi inisip ko pa talaga yung sa mga fill in the blanks ng reading. Yung multiple choice single answer, hinulaan ko nalang. Kasi sayang e.

Guys patulong naman sa describe image pag 2 graphs.. Idea lang po pano magcompare lalo na kung yung isa e bar graph yung isa line graph...pls reply po sana asap sa 6 n exam ko hehehe

Ozlaz

@Skye24 advice lang. Don't overthink. Di ba alam mo yung template. Basta sabihin mo lang lagi highest lowest at 2nd highest kahit ano pa makita mo. Kasi they are not expecting you to describe all the details in just 40 seconds. Kabisaduhin mo yung templates. Tataas score mo

eynah_gee

@Ozlaz so meaning pde ako magsulat muna sa papel then i-type ko nlng after matapos ung recording?

Skye24

@Ozlaz kabisadong kabisado ko na nga ung templates kahit sa 2nd take ko nun gamit ko na lagapak pa din ako hehe.. Nataon nga ako nun na puro bar graph at line graph na solo lng walang pictures or mga process what so ever na lumabas... Naprapraning lang kasi 3rd take ko n sa 6... Pagod na pagod nko magaral...

Ozlaz

@eynah_gee yes ganon ginawa ko. Mas tumaas score ko kasi pag nag susulat ako yun ako lang makakaintindi. Hehehe

@Skye24 ano score mo sa mga test mo? Baka naman positioning lang ng mic ang issue. Kasi pte mock test A and B ko, same lang ang ginawa ko, ang kaibahan lang isa naka headser isa hindi e..

Hi guys baka makatulong sa writing nyo. Sa kay Steven Fernandez na template. nakakuha lang ako ng idea dito.

Essay Template:

(Introduction) These days, there is an ongoing debate between people about
______________. While it is possible to claim that______________ , my view is that the
disadvantages outweigh the advantages. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by
analysing both sides of the argument.

(2nd Paragraph)There are several reasons why _____________________. One of them is
that ___________________________. It can also be argued that ___________________. It
should also be taken into account that___________________________________.

(3rd Paragraph)Those who argue for __________ have a different view and say that it can
actually be a good thing. Firstly, it is claimed that
___________________________________. Then, there are concerns about
______________________________.

(Conclusion) While there are strong arguments on both sides of the case, my personal
opinion is that ______________________. I would strongly recommend that
__________________________________.



sa Retell Lecture naman na appreciate ko mga tips ni Navjot Brar sa youtube. lalo na pag wala kang nakuhang buo na info.

BTW ang questions sa essay part ko: 1. getting married while studying, good idea ba? . 2. include sports and games in school time table.

Goodluck sa mag eexam sa February 6.

@Ozlaz hi s una kong take 49 then 2nd naging 59 pero kala ko mkuha ko na ksi lam ko naman derecho salita ko halos la nga ako pause

siena101

@Ozlaz congrats! Mga ilang minutes ka dumating before the sked? At pinagstart ka ba agad pgdatng mo?

treasure1109

@Ozlaz slamat.

Ozlaz

@Skye24 ah hindi kaya sa position mo na ng mic yun? Normal lang yung lakas ng boses ko pero tinest ko yung mic mabuti para malaman ko kung san walang buga ng hangin at san buong buo yung boses..try mo sa tip ng nose sa ibabaw ng nostrils.

@siena101 dumating ako dun, before 8 e, mga 7:10 siguro, sandali lang naghintay pinapasok na rin agad. 2nd ako dumating. 10am tapos na ako. Pero hindi naman ako mabilis, ubos na ubos oras ko e. As in parang nasarahan ako ng tindahan. Hehe

jaceejoef

@mistervirata may tips po ba kayo sa reorder paragraphs? and pwede po ba kayo magbigay ng sample recording for read aloud? para lang may another basis kami sa tamang pagbasa.

misterV

@jaceejoef Try ko later yung sa recording, asa office kasi ako. hehehehe.

Actually, hirap din ako before sa reorder paragraph, pero based dun sa e2languange, be wary of the pronouns na lang. Halimbawa, Jacee is a ....... Syempre next sentence is , He is also ....... Parang ganun. Tapos kung in contrast yung opening ng sentence, like "But, In contrast, However", kailangan mong hanapin muna yung kacounterpart nya, parang sentence 1 (positive statement) then sentence 2 is, However, (negative statement). Tapos kung nagrerefer sa tao yung paragraph, mauuna yung sentence na may Full name nya, tas next sentence yung first or last name na lang. Halimbawa, (1) Juan Cruz is a.... (2) Cruz is a...

Ozlaz

@Skye24 oo matatandaan mo talaga. Kunyari mga 15 words yun sa sentence, mga 10 lang maisusulat mo na initials usually. Pero matatandaan mo lahat ng words for sure. Focus lang. kaya mo sis.

misterV

@siena101 Ang ginamit kong template is " (topic), which is (point 1), is not only (point 2) but also (point 3). Medyo tinweak ko na lang para medyo humaba pa. Usually nasa 50-60 words yung nasusulat ko dito.

wanderer

Today got my PTE-A Result (L76 R73 S80 W79)
Salamat ng marami sa forum na to, napakalaking tulong :-)

siena101

@mistervirata thanks!

joyee

Hello! Sa speaking po, ok lang ba na ulit-ulitin ang conclusion like "This graph seems accurate and concise."?

xiaolico

@joyee I'm nit sure ha, but I think sa describe image, you should not give your opinion. Kailangan describe mo Lang yung nakikita mo. Puwede mo Siguro sabihin, according to this graph, we can conclude...

ClmOptimist

@siena101 regarding sa summarize spoken text, maganda template ng E2language dito, you may want to consider.

While listening, take note of the topic and important keywords (at least 5).

Template:
The speaker was discussing about (TOPIC).
He/She mentioned that (KEYWORD1).
He/She talked about (KEYWORD2).
He/She discussed the (KEYWORD3).
He/She described the (KEYWORD4).
Overall, he/she suggested that (KEYWORD5).

Sana makatulong

siena101

@ClmOptimist di ba sa retell lecture yan na template? 1 sentence lang yata need sa summarize spoken text. Pls correct me if im wrong. Parang ok yung template ni @mistervirata

ClmOptimist

@siena101 same template for retell and summarize spoken text.

ung 1 sentence, sa summarize written text un.

It's ok, whichever you find easy to use.

misterV

@siena101 Sorry, yung nabigay kong template is for summarize written text. I also used the template @ClmOptimist gave you for summarize spoken text. It's from e2language.
