    @EverythingisAUsome try mo gumamit ng headset. Test mo kung san pinakamaganda ang dating ng boses, dun mo sya itapat, ako kasi sa itaas ng nostrils. Tapos sa read aloud, tuloy tuloy lang pag babasa, pag nagkamali ka, ok lang yun. Yaan mo na.. tapos yung repeat sentence, try to write the first letter of every word, for sure matatandaan mo yung words.

    Sa totoo lang, hindi perfect speaking ko. Dami kong stutter. Hindi rin ako mshadong fluent sa totoong buhay(hehe) so try lang ng try! Kaya yan! :)

    @ajbxxx @Skye24 Can you send us sample of your recording?

    Let me share share kung ano ginawa ko sa Speaking, kung okay na kayo sa template, mas Okay. To improve naman yung tongue ko and pronunciation, kase may punto talaga ako mag salita, I tried rapping "Love the way you lie". and if I can't rap like eminem, then mahihirapan talaga ako. hehehe

    i tried taking PTE 2 times, even though i failed sa second take (dahil iniba ko diskarte), I still manage to get 80 sa Speaking. At based dun sa dalawang take ko, yung ikalawa ang pinaka mahirap na speaking. Imagine, sa describe image ko, lumitaw yung mapa ng Australia na may kulay lang. at dalawang graph comparison. Puro line graph pa ako.

    Sa retell lecture naman, hindi sentence ang nasusulat ko. kumukuha lang ako ng main points, like school, education, English. At yan na nilalagay ko sa template. 20-25 sec lang.

    Sa repeat sentence. Tatlo ata yung wala ako halos masabi. as in first 3-4 words lang.

    Sa answer short question, nawawala ako sa focus sa tanong. yung pipili ka lang dun sa sasabihin ng speaker, di ko pa matandaan.

    Lahat ng yan, na experience ko sa second take.

    Sa read aloud naman, di ko alam kung kanino ko nabasa tong tip na to, try to smile while reading, it really helps.

    Ang pareho lang sa 1st and 2nd take ko is, yung mic ko is nasa tapat ng nose.

    @Skye24 I think dapat nireklamo mo yun. Anyway, dun sa read aloud mo, tingin ko may na detect si PC mo na hesitation, since nabulol ka. San nakalagay ang mic mo? Nag try ka ng mock test?

    Ganun na lang try natin next time, try and try ng mock test, hanggang makakuha ng 80+. yung isang exam ng PTE, halos anim na mock test din yun. pag di pa naman tayo na practice tlga nun.

    Okay ka naman sa ibang section, LRW? kamusta naman environment mo nung nag exam ka? kamusta enabling skills mo sa 3 takes mo?

    @ajbxxx @Skye24 May last suggestion ako. Am not sure if may Oras kayo, but I really want to help you guys. Part time, I teach online English sa mga Japanese. If may Oras kayo sa sched niyo, I suggest Gawin niyo din. Kahit two weeks Lang, before taking the exam again. It will really help your speaking skills. May mga describe image din sila sa lesson plan. Practice Ka Na, bayad Ka pa. Just make sure you pass the interview. Everything's online naman, so sa bahay Ka Lang. Tas choose your own sched. So Bahala Ka sa Oras mo. Eto link, and good luck sa inyo

    @Skye24 sorry ang kulit, I want you to succeed sa pte sana. I don't have the grant yet, Pero I was able to pass all the requirements Na. I feel like I have to pay it forward sa mga tumulong sa akin sa thread Na to in my pte and visa journey. I want to help you as much as I could. Check this link;

    http://info.learning.sankei.co.jp/lesson/curriculum/business/b2/businessB2_075.pdf

    Sample Yan ng ituturo mo sa Japanese. So babasahin niyo Lang Yan. At least maprapractice mo read aloud mo. And your are doing it in front of another person using Skype. Pati,confidence mo, you are working on it Na. May Ibang lesson naman graph or pie chart, so pati describe image, you can practice it Na. Tas pag sumablay Ka, Malay ba nung Japanese. Mas hirap pa mag English sa yo Yun. Kaya you don't have to worry in terms of confidence. Good luck, really hoping Na you won't give up
