13-Oct-2017 CO contact(Peter)
They requested for my duty statement sa company that I’m currently working though nabigay ko na siya pero probably dahil nagclaim ako ng 5 points for skilled employment sa AU kaya medyo strict. Also PTE result pinapasend nila again.
Naprovide ko lahat on the next day, naglagay na rin ako additional documents like contract, payslips, superannuation and tax return.
11-Jan-2018 CO Contact(Hong)
They requested again for my duty statement. Haha Walang katapusan, so nagrequest na ako sa company nung recent para medj fresh. Then nadeclare ko kasi na may boyfriend ako but nasa pinas pero di naman kasama sa application hinanapan siya ng medical and character clearance kung in defacto relationship kami. so gumawa ako ng statutory declaration na hindi kami pasok sa rule nung defacto blablabla. Napasa ko siya mga 30-Jan na kasi flight ko papinas nung nacontact ako so vacation mode muna.
Just this week nagbasa ako na nauuso yung pagbigay ng feedback then wala naman masasama if magtry ako. Nakadalawang feedback ako isa ng monday then isa nung tuesday same ang thought hinabaan ko lang nung tuesday asking lang bakit paulit ulit ako kinocontact for the duty statement lol. Then nagrespond sila Wednesday and yesterday. Yung kahapon may nakalagay na - Your correspondence will be sent to the relevant processing area for information so medyo naghope ako. Then tadaaaa
09-Mar-2018 Got my grant todaaay!
God bless y’all and Good luck!

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.
