    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.

    Hello hello... sa mga nasa singapore na may plan n magbig move ang advise ko lang is to convert your phil license into sg. Take k lng ng written exam i think will just cost 7sgd not sure if same price pa din then when u came here in au convert lng ng sg to au license no hassle. ID is very important here lalo n in securing a rental house.

    I think getting a local Australian number before landing would be beneficial too... parang may nag suggest niyan dito diba? Either through Skype number: https://secure.skype.com/my/skype-number or yung actual SIM na ipapasuyo sa kakilala.

    @Pixiepie hi. With us, we paid around 1300 inc service fee sa airbnb for 3 weeks last November. It is considered cheap, because the location is good and the unit is superb. But it was all luck, that time we booked it, first time mag post ng owner so there was no review at all about the property/owner. And he gave discounts for the 1st few persons na mag book. Few days later, doubled na yung fees nya.

    For house rental here in sydney, set $550 per week as benchmark (plus/minus kung lalapit or lalayo sa city). Depende din sa house condition. (like new building or renovated).

    For new migrants, we may not be a priority if the propery is hot but it is not impossible too. We were able to secure the house that we like by giving 12 weeks upfront payment. For ID's, the agent said just submit whatever we have.

    Hope it helps for those new migrants seeking for temporary and long term accommodation. Godbless!

    @gibo43 @caienri , buti naman pala. medyo madami kasing detail na di pa naman talaga mafill-upan.

    May tanong pala ako. If ever ba na di kami available on our scheduled PDOS, can we re-register on another date kahit di pa nag-lapse yung previous date? Nagschedule kasi ako ng Feb 12, tapos this morning, mukhang magkakaconflict yung date na yun sa business trip ng wife ko sa work niya. So we plan to re-register on a later date.
