kaidenMVH · November 2017

@cibomatto mas preferred ko ang magsulat. may scientific research din jan hahaha. yun daw sinusulat ang lecture mas natatandaan kung ano yun topic. http://www.npr.org/2016/04/17/474525392/attention-students-put-your-laptops-away

cibomatto · November 2017

@kaidenMVH Hmm. Fair enough. Thanks for sharing the link! I just got back home from RELC. I took down notes during Summarize Spoken Test instead of typing. We were 12 in total. Crossing my fingers....

shuroro · November 2017

@pangky_town bear with my answers. hindi ito yung exact kong sagot sa SWT at SST ng mock exam pero close enough na kasi fresh pa sa utak ko. hindi ko na kasi naisipang i-save. yung SST template kay bro @Heprex ko nakuha.

SWT Question:
A coffee drinker in San Francisco has little chance of ever meeting the small-scale farmer in Nicaragua who may have raised the original coffee beans. However, if the coffee drinker has bought "Fair Trade" beans, he or she has made a conscious effort to support the coffee producer with a fair wage. Goods that are certified as "Fair Trade" are priced a little higher than the market rate, with the premium routed to the small rural producer in the form of a slightly higher profit. The Fair Trade concept aims to bring small farmers a fair price for their products and to support sustainable and socially responsible production methods. Fair Trade is thus one of the more benign faces of globalization, with the potential to connect poor rural producers with global markets. Besides coffee, Fair Trade items include tea, cocoa, sugar, honey, bananas, fresh fruit and vegetables, dried fruit, fruit juices, rice, wine, nuts and oilseeds, cut flowers, ornamental plants, cotton, and a variety of handmade crafts - but coffee remains the core of the Fair Trade system.
Ans: (47words) -- halos kinopya ko lang din yung sa question prompt siguro much better kung ginamitan ko ng synonyms
Fair Trade aims to give assistance to small and poor farmers by pricing their products higher than what we are seeing in the market so that they might receive slightly higher profit as this will also motivate them to produce products through sustainable and socially responsible production.

SST Question:
If I can remember correctly parang interview ito with someone about talents.
Ans: (70words)
The speaker discussed the definition of talent. She talked about that defining talent is difficult to answer as it can be defined in distinctive ways. She also mentioned that it can be defined depending on the context of the question. In addition, she described that talent can be equated to the brain power of an individual. Finally, she discussed that talent can also be defined on both analytic and creativity.

shuroro · November 2017

mga sir/ma'am got my 1st PTE result. unfortunately, di superior bitin ng 2pts ang Listening.

L77 R88 S90 W83 (G89 OF90 P90 S88 V86 WD90)
pero syempre salamat pa din kay Lord at sa inyo guys!
thinking of retaking currently 65pts for 189 ako.

Sid Lim · November 2017

@shuroro bro matindi na ang score mo ah.. sayang nmn yung listening.. good job bro..

shuroro · November 2017

@Sid Lim bro.. thanks! matinding review lang kasi mahal ang exam. haha.

Supersaiyan · November 2017

@shuroro, wow. Sayang 2 points na lang. Pero ayos lang yan. Mataas yang result mo bro. Nadale lang siguro sa multiple choice. Pa book na agad ulit habang may momentum.

Heprex · November 2017

@shuroro congrats! konti na lang!

Supersaiyan · November 2017

@mfvquines, aw. sorry to hear. It seems na hndi sa headphone or earphone and speaking ang problem mo mababa yang 10, siguro kahit na magsalita ka ng 1 sentence in all parts ng speaking makakakuha ka ng above 10. Try mo siguro lipat ng ibang laptop or PC. Na encounter ko yan and I found out may grounded part sa audio jack ng ginagamit kong PC then lumipat ako sa laptop ko, yun nawala yung grounded noise na parang may blowing air and I started to get a good mark sa speaking. HTH.

shuroro · November 2017

@Heprex thanks! lalo na sa mga tips! sobrang helpful!

@Supersaiyan thanks bro tska sa mga tips din! actually parang nadali ako sa retell at repeat sentence kaya ganyan listening ko.

eynah_gee · November 2017

Hello everyone! Sino interesado dito sa review package ng e2language, naka Silver Package kasi ako pero di ko na nagamit din kasi ok naman na ko sa PTE. I bought it at US$199. PM nyo na lang ako, if interested kayo and how much you can offer.
Makikita nyo sa account ko na halos lahat wala pa nagamit. I can provide screenshots ng account ko. Kaya considered bago pa. Heheheh! Pandagdag lang sa pang requirements ko. Salamat!

caeley · November 2017

NgPTE mock exam po ako knina. Wala pang 10minutes ata may result na. Sadya po ba na ganun? Yung una ko kasi umabot ng ilang oras eh. This is my 2nd mock exam set, finally naka71 na sa speaking from 44 nung actual exam. Tulad po nung may ngsuggest dito, ngavail ulet ako para makita ko kung saan ako effective. For me importante na makapasa ka sa mock test kasi ngkaron tlga ako ng pagasa and confidence na makakapasa na ako. Yung 1st set ko kasi pasang awa and bagsak ang speaking eh pero sumabak pa din ako sa exam kaya ayun mababa tlga speaking. Thanks po sa lahat ng tumulong.

Supersaiyan · November 2017

@caeley, nice. Good news yan. We are happy na nahanap mo na din yung strategy that fits for you. Iclaim mo na na magiging superior ka sa actual exam. Ako 70 yung speaking ko sa mock test, though di ko kinlaim na makaka superior, pagdating ng PTE actual result 82 sa speaking.

Regarding sa result ng mock exams, usually ang matagal irelease na result yung mock test A (4 days ang result) pero kapag mock test B minutes lang may result na di ko alam kung bket.

lizzzie · November 2017

Hi everyone!

Question po:

pwede ba ung template sa re tell gamitin kong template for summarize spoken text? thank you!

Supersaiyan · November 2017

@lizzzie, yup, just make sure to catch the topic and some supporting ideas that will be good using template.

P@bling! · November 2017

Hello po mga lodi,

Una sa lahat nais kong magpasalamat sa Diyos na sa wakas nakapasa na po ako. Pangalawang beses ko na po kumuha ng PTE. Nais ko pong mag pasalamat sa mga taong nagbahagi ng kanilang mga karanasan, kaalaman at mga tips kung pano makapasa sa PTE. Shout-out nga pala sa mga LODI ko na sina filipinacpa, Marzky, MissM, batman at kay Heprex at sa marami pa pong iba na hindi ko nabanggit. Salamat po sa mga tips nyo. Hindi po kataasan ang nakuha ko sa exam pero po naka 90 po kasi ako sa speaking na labis kong kinatuwa, kaya po naisip ko na dapat ko pong ibahagi yung ginawa ko para sa ibang nakakaranas ng pagsubok sa speaking task. Sa mga nahihirapan po sa speaking task, tama po yung mga advise ng karamihan dito. Mag stick lang po kayo sa template kahit di po tayo kagalingan sa English sigurado po ang panalo...hehe...Nung nag exam po kc ako. May mga pag kakamali rin po ako, pero dahil sa template kahit hindi ko po alam ung sasabihin ko yun ln po talaga yung pinag batayan ko. Madaming beses po ako nagbuckle sa decribe image pero po dahil sa template na kinabisado ko tuloy tuloy lang po tau...Mapa picture, maps or process, template ln po talaga...Sa read aloud po, hindi ako sumisigaw normal speaking voice lang po. Feeling ko kasi kung makikipagsigawan ako sa mga katabi madidistract ako. Ang ginawa ko nga po pa lang diskarte nung nagpapraktis ako. Nag oopen po ako ng dalawang youtube video, Ung unang video practice ako ng describe image tapos sa isang window meron akong background na people talking pinaplay ko po ng sabay yung video para mo na rin kasing nasimulate yung ingay sa testing room nun eh. Eto po yung tips ko sa speaking task.

Describe Image:
- Kabisaduhin ang template. Yung template na pinagbasehan ko po yung bigay ni Batman at Heprex medyo binago ko lang po sablay kasi ako di2 "The pie graph projected on the screen is the presentation of variables from research entitled" kapag nag "google Web Speech API" kc ako di maintindihan ni google yung intro ko kya inedit ko yung template na swak sa panlasa ko...hehe

- Wag po kayo maconscious sa pinagsasabi nyo po basta importante ung highest, lowest, largest, smallest. Hanggang yan ln po yung ginawa ko. Hindi po ako nagsasalita ng mabilis at malakas. Normal voice and speed ln po. Pag medyo madami pa ung oras medyo nagbabagal ako ng konti sa conclusion.

- Sa retell lecture naman po. Template lng din tapos yung main topic para sa introduction at dalawang points para sa body yun lang po. Ang diskarte lang po pala wag natin pahirapan. Masimple mas okay po. Maganda po yung mga tips ni Heprex panalo po yun.

PIE:
The pie graph projected on the screen illustrates the information about ________.
It is subdivided into ________ different portions.
The largest area is ________ with ________ while the smallest area is ________ with ________.
It is surprising to see that ________ is the second largest area with ________.
Overall, this graph seems accurate and concise and can be used as a reference for future studies.

LINE/BAR: The line/bar graph projected on the screen illustrates the information about ________.
Based on the data provided, The highest sector is ________ with ________ while the lowest sector is ________ with ________.
It is surprising to see that ________ is the second highest sector with ________.
Overall, this graph seems accurate and concise and can be used as a reference for future studies.

TABLE:
The table projected on the screen illustrates the information about ________.
Based on the data provided, The highest sector is ________ with ________ while the lowest sector is ________ with ________.
It is surprising to see that ________ is the second highest sector with ________.
Overall, this graph seems accurate and concise and can be used as a reference for future studies.

RETELL LECTURE:
The speaker provided brief information about ________ and a significant amount of time was spent discussing around this topic.
The lecture concluded after all the data points were completely discussed.
To summarize his/her analysis, the speaker mentioned that ________, moreover, he/she talked about ________,
Overall, the lecture seems accurate and concise and can be used as a reference for future studies.

drive33 · November 2017

I got my results today, first time taker:

L - 90
R - 78
S - 90
W - 90

Sobrang nakakafrustrate!!!! Aiming for superior score ako.

Supersaiyan · November 2017

@drive33, wow. Sayang kinapos pa ng isa, taas po ng listening nyo. May tips po ba kayo sa repeat sentence? Malaki po ba contribution ni repeat sentence sa listening score?

drive33 · November 2017

@Supersaiyan sa repeat sentence ginamitan ko nung writing the first letter of the word tsaka yung by phrase. Ang tip ko lang sa whole listening test, intindihin ung mga sinabi ng speaker.

Advisable pa kaya na magmock ako ulit? Plan ko magretake 2 weeks from now.

MrAdobo · November 2017

@P@bling!, don po sa Describe Image,pare-pareho po ung conclusion na sinabi nyo?

Supersaiyan · November 2017

@drive33, thanks sa tips. Sabi na mukang malaki din impact neto ni repeat sentence sa listening. Sa tngin ko no need na para sayo ang mag mock since same exam lang ulit ang lalabas doon kung nkapag mock kna dati and since yung reading nalang nman ang issue mo, nagvavary nman yung lumalabas doon kaya kahit mag take ng mock parang useless. Oks lang mag take ng mock kung mababa yung speaking and writing since kelangan pa malaman yung mag work na strategy and in your case ok na. Mas advisable siguro pa book kn kaagad habang may momentum at alam pa yung mga strategies na ginawa mo lately para mkakuha ng near superior mark. GODbless sa next take bro.

Supersaiyan · November 2017

@jtm, yup, same intro and conclusion po sinasabi nmen for the whole speaking tasks lalo na sa DI since may template po kming gamit. Ang mag vary lang po yung keywords for highest and lowest.
