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.

It depends on which state you apply. Each state has it own skills occupations list and in the case of NSW, per region. Each occupation has its own quota so isa yon sa factors. You can check website of the state and check the status of your occupation to get an indication whether marami pang vacant or about to exhaust na ang quota

hi @JHONIEL ! Baka makatulong sa pag decide nyo ang info ko regarding delivery. We came here on a 489 and I was 7 mos preggy. Talagang ang decision namin ay dito ako manganganak. Nagpunta muna ako sa GP pra kumukha ng referral sa hospital for the usual checks. Kung hindi naman complicated ang pregnancy, puwedeng GP lng mag check sa iyo periodically. But since candidiate ako for C-section, OB ang nagchecheck sa akin monthly. Sa public hospital yung OB ko so mga $200/visit. Sa panganganak, ang charge sa akin ay $1989/day. Yung per day sa hospital ay 24 hours equivalent, naka mahigit 48 hours ako pero ang charge ay 2 days lang kasi hindi naman ako umabot ng 12midnight of the 3rd day. At ang pinaka importante, puwede kayo mag avail ng payment plan at no need bayaran ng full before kayo ma-discharge ni baby Nakakatuwa lang kasi lumabas kami ng hospital ng walang binabayad ni ten cents! Solo room ako, public hospital pero super ma-alaga ang staff! Yung monthly visits lang pala sa OB ang required ang bayad per visit.
Kumuha din kami ng health insurance pag dating but since may required 12 months waiting, hindi covered ang costs.
Hope that helps
