    @st0rm ayos diba... dapat positive lang... at dapat gawan ng paraan kung paano... doon tayo sa bagay na controlado naten... example, yung invitation kasi hindi natin controlado kung ilan ang maiinvite at kung ano ang points pro rata ba or not... pero alam natin na mataas ang chance na mainvite pag nasa 70 pts. or 75 pts. ngayon kung mababa points naten at di naiinvite at pwede pa pataasin in terms of Superior or Proficient in English... bakit hindi? yun magagawan naten ng paraan at macocontrol naten, pwede magexert ng effort or double time sa pag practise at pwede din naman medyo chillax lang... Yun lang po.... Good day..

    @amedina meron din naman other English exam like PTE. katulad ng iba, yang English Test na yan ang reason kaya ako nainvite for 189 at nagkaroon ng permanent resident visa. Depende lang din po kung paano po natin interpret at bigyan ng kahulugan ang mga English Test... Its either na paraan to fulfill our goal na magkaroon ng permanent visa sa Australia or just think of it as a waste of time and money...either way po tama po kayo sa interpretatio nyo... Goodluck po sa mga magiging decisions nyo...

    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.

    Goodevening sa lahat! Ask ko lang sana if meron sa inyong nagsubmit ng payslip na iba yung name ng company? Nakaindicate lang sa project name yung mismong name ng company but the logo and company name na nasa taas ng payslip iba. Ganun kasi yung case ko, pero pinasa ko pa din kasi yun naman talaga yung payslip namin. May same case ba ko na nagrant? Working overseas po ako. Thank you! sana may makapag advice.
