I only used yung headset na mumurahin from CD-R king pero dinikit ko yung mic sa bibig ko and I nilakasan ko yung boses ng tamang speed lang.. I do not recommend na gawin ng iba ito sa actual mga 1 inch apart lang po dapat baka kasi may technical issues kapag super lapit ng mic sa bibig

Malaking tulong ang forum na ito.Kumuha ako ng exam last November 7 at ngayun ko lang natanggap ang resulta at sa wakas nakagraduate na after tatlong beses na kumuha. Palaging Speaking ang problema ko at tama ang tips ng mga kasamahan natin dito basta tuloy tuloy lang ang pagsasalita tiyak malalampasan ang SPEAKING na mababang score. Never ever give up sa pangarap.Kuha lang ng kuha.

@vanezzaveera just follow cue words. Usually may 1-2 words yan na common among connected paragraphs. Kung wala, yung pinaka subject ng paragraph yung gawin mong basis. Mejo nakakalito sa una pero practice ka lang. importante jan ung unang paragraph. then the rest will follow na.

Reorder paragraph was my favorite part. Maraming points makukuha mo in one look once you get the hang of it. I have taken the exam twice, and nothing complex ung mga options. usually one liner lang tapos obvious kung alin ung una. Once na nadetermine mo na ung una, usually masusunod sunod mo na. Giveaway na HINDI una ung isang option kapag me mga pronoun. Minsan may years din so mas madali.

Hi guys, panu nyo po nasisingitan ng conclusion ung sa describe image? lagi ako sobra pag nagpapractice e
sa mga may templates na jan, pwede pa sample kung pano nyo sasagutin itong graph na to gamit templates nyo:
galing sa mcmillan yan, and nakita ko nadin un model answer nila jan, kaya lang napapaisip ako na di kaya sobrang detailed at logical nung model answer? Mas mabuti ba na gumawa ako ng mas simpleng template at di maxado logical at detailed? ung as in largest at smallest lang ung immention ko para makasingit nadin ng conclusion at mas madali ko maideliver sa actual na. anu sa tingin nyo? haayss weakness ko talaga speaking lalo pag biglaan, pero sa ielts-speaking naka 7 ang highest sa attempts ko e.
Salamats po ulet, nabubuhayan ako ng pag asa tuwing nagbabasa ko dito, laking tulong nyo!

"The pie chart projected on the screen is the presentation of variables of a research entitled Average hrs/yr spent in local doctor consultation. The Pie chart was divided into 6 sectors. Based on the data provided, largest sector was from South-east with 35hrs/year while the smallest portion was from North east with 13hrs/yr. The chart was accurate and concise which can be used as a reference for future studies with the same objective."
yung naka bold font ung template ko. inaadjust ko na lang ung iba accordingly. During my practice and actual test, it took me 32-38secs to finish describing graphs/charts using that template. Normal pace lang ako ala smiling reporter. hehe. Hope this will help you and others Goodluck.

sa mga may templates na jan, pwede pa sample kung pano nyo sasagutin itong graph na to gamit templates nyo:
galing sa mcmillan yan, and nakita ko nadin un model answer nila jan, kaya lang napapaisip ako na di kaya sobrang detailed at logical nung model answer? Mas mabuti ba na gumawa ako ng mas simpleng template at di maxado logical at detailed? ung as in largest at smallest lang ung immention ko para makasingit nadin ng conclusion at mas madali ko maideliver sa actual na. anu sa tingin nyo? haayss weakness ko talaga speaking lalo pag biglaan, pero sa ielts-speaking naka 7 ang highest sa attempts ko e.
Salamats po ulet, nabubuhayan ako ng pag asa tuwing nagbabasa ko dito, laking tulong nyo!

"The pie chart projected on the screen is the presentation of variables of a research entitled Average hrs/yr spent in local doctor consultation. The Pie chart was divided into 6 sectors. Based on the data provided, largest sector was from South-east with 35hrs/year while the smallest portion was from North east with 13hrs/yr. The chart was accurate and concise which can be used as a reference for future studies with the same objective."
yung naka bold font ung template ko. inaadjust ko na lang ung iba accordingly. During my practice and actual test, it took me 32-38secs to finish describing graphs/charts using that template. Normal pace lang ako ala smiling reporter. hehe. Hope this will help you and others Goodluck.
