ms_ane · January 2019

@tonjimz wag na yan

Supersaiyan · January 2019

@ms_ane salamat po sa help. Appreciated much! Ibig sabihin po yung ginagawa nyo is:

2 sentences (from template)
2 sentences (actual sentences from recording)
1 sentence (conclusion from template)

Mejo mabagal din po kasi ako magsulat kaya disadvantaged sken to get 2 actual sentences lalo kung mahaba. May strategy po ba kayo?

Struggle po tlga ako sa Listening pra mag 79+ and naiisip ko po to maximize yung score ko sa Retell. Baka sakaling masungkit 79+

@aomanansala yung SWT ko minemake sure ko na 40-50 words. Tpos yung essay ko clearly stated kung anong side yung stand ko. Sa SST nman gumagamit ako ng connectors. Not sure lang din sa daming takes ko na ng PTE kaya nahasa na din yung writing ko. Dati kamote ako sa writing. Haha.

aomanansala · January 2019

@Supersaiyan ano connectors madalas mo gamitin bossing?

Supersaiyan · January 2019

@aomanansala eto boss...

Essay: [Body - 2nd Paragraph] To begin with, Firstly, As an example, Thus,
[Body - 3rd Paragraph] Conversely, Firstly, To illustrate, Therefore
SST: Firstly, Next, Furthermore, Finally

yan lagi ginagamit kong connectors sa exam. Given na kabisado ko na sa 15 takes ko ng PTE.

Sa Re-tell Lecture ang alam ko pwede mo ulitin yung sinabi nung speaker. So sinunod ko lang yung sinabi sa E2.

Intro
The speaker discussed xxxx

Body (3-4 sentences any will do)
He also talked about xxxx
He also stated that xxxx
He added that xxxx
In addition, he pointed out that xxxx
Furthermore, he also explained that xxxx

End/Conclusion
Lastly, he concluded xxx

Lahat yang 'xxxx' na yan ginaya ko lang yung mga key words/phrases/ideas nung speaker.

I suggest wag ka gumamit ng mga Thus, therefore,etc.. kasi baka makapag introduce ka ng thought/idea na di naman sinabi ng speaker.

aomanansala · January 2019

@sicntyrd ano score mo sa listening and writing bossing?

sicntyrd · January 2019

@aomanansala yung una 90,82 then yung next 88, 87 sir. Sa reading ako pumalya nung una haha 77.

JHONIEL · January 2019

@ms_ane ok mam ittry ko yan sa next take ko. Salamat po sa input mam.

JHONIEL · January 2019

@Supersaiyan sir sa SWT po ba nag ccopy ka ng words from passage?

JHONIEL · January 2019

@sicntyrd ung keywords mo po ba sa retell ay phrases or sentence po sinulat mo? Mahirap din kasi maisulat ung buong sentence pag actual exam na

sicntyrd · January 2019

@JHONIEL oo pre. keywords lang na masagap mo then sulat agad. konting diskarte na lang sa pagdagdag ng words para di lumayo sa main thought.

aomanansala · January 2019

@sicntyrd ano naman sir ginamit mong template sa Summarize Spoken Text? And naperfect mo ba yung WFD?

Sa reading naman, naperfect ko sya. gulat nga ako since alam ko may mali ako, ang alam ko pinakamalaking impact yung FIB. Not sure kung gaano katotoo itong link na ito

JHONIEL · January 2019

@sicntyrd ah ok po. How about sir sa SWT? Kina copy mo po ba ung words sa pssage?

Supersaiyan · January 2019

@sicntyrd yup. Ginagamit ko lng po yun sa Essay Writing ko. Iba po template ko pgdating sa Retell Lecture.

ms_ane · January 2019

@JHONIEL wag na wag ka mag copy sa SWT -paraphrasing ang technique sa SWT.. ito yung sinasabi ko na di ka allowed mag copy, otherwise mag zero ang score mo kaya ingat ingat.
ang ginawa ko din noon e naglista ako ng mga rules / tips per section ng exam para maalala ko kung ano ang dapat gawin at dapat iwasan.

sicntyrd · January 2019

@aomanansala Same lang ng re-tell lecture yung structure. But sa Summarize Spoken Text, you have more time to work on your structure at sequence/flow ng thoughts, grammar, etc. So ang approach ko that time, I'll always have a better opportunity to make my score higher in here kesa sa re-tell lecture, so I made sure na maganda yung flow/structure ko.

Sa intro, it's very important to mention the main topic. You can use the connectors suggested by the others (firstly, then, moreover, finally).

Yung Write from Dictation mas madali sakin compared to Repeat Sentence.

@JHONIEL You have to summarize the text in one sentence, meaning you have to paraphrase. Mas mainam makahanap ka ng synonyms/substitute phrases as replacement. Ang exception ko lang is kung yung main topic is a word na either a proper noun or medyo scientific/technical yung term. Pwede ko i-copy yun. For example, kung ang main topic ay tungkol sa "Uganda" or tungkol sa "fountain pen". Kasi magiging katawa tawa yung sentence mo kapag hinanapan mo ng substitute yan.

@Supersaiyan My bad. Akala ko sa re-tell lecture yung sinulat mo.

Supersaiyan · January 2019

@sicntyrd haha. No worries po and thanks po sa insights sana po mkuha ko yung similar scores gaya sa inyo sa Listening.

@JHONIEL not to falsify yung sinasabi ng iba pero ako (self strategy, tried the risk as well) kino copy ko word by word sa SWT then combined with fanboys connectors. My scores in writing speaks for myself. Di ko lng sure kung isa iyon sa reason bket mababa nman Listening ko, pero prang hndi nman.

Mizai01 · January 2019

Hi! Meron po bang may voucher dyan

or available pa ba mga pte vouchers in general?

Salamat po sa sasagot

maximogc · January 2019

hi,

ask ko lng ulit kung meron ba nakaencounter ng issue sa suffix nila? in my case kase 'Jr.' ako. sa passport kase ntin ung suffix is nilalagay sa given name. then sa pte kase when creating account, there's a separate field for suffix so dun ko nilagaay ung 'Jr.' but then when scheduling for exam, there's a note that the name you provided in pte should match exactly sa passport but then un nga sa PTE nakahiwalay ung suffix. i contacted na po ung PTE asking what should be the correct format but they never answered my question but kept asking me to provide my passport para daw macorrect nila ung name ko. then nung ngbigay na ko copy ng passport ko, they changed my name sa pte and ung suffix field sa profile ko is now blank then ung suffix ko is nasa given name which is the same na sa passport. has anyone encountered this kind of issue po? kindy advise naman po because im worried na baka may maencounter akong issue in the future. salamat sa mga sasagot po and sana po may makatulong.

ms_ane · January 2019

@cascade hello

ni message na din kita

edge · January 2019

@ms_ane Baka pede dn ako makahingi ng video regarding sa computer scoring ng pte exam? Maraming maraming salamat

edge · January 2019

Any other tips sa repeat sentence, medyo hirap ako dito kapag mahaba na masyado yung sentence, although tinatandaan ko sya per phrase, minsan talaga ang haba lang

ms_ane · January 2019

@edge sa repeat sentence normally nasa 2-3 yung talagang mahabang sentence - kaya kung di mo ito ma perfect - make sure na para dun sa maiiksing sentence e makuha mo sya para atleast kahit papaano may pang hatak.
sa repeat sentence effective sakin ang pagsusulat ng first letter of the word, bilang nalaman ko din na kailangan ma irepeat ang sentence in order to get a good score sa category na ito.
so habang nasa isip mo yung phrase, pag tinignan mo yung notes mo na may first letter of the word - it will serve as a guide - pero make sure na sa pag repeat mo e nandon pa din yun oral fluency at hindi mag result sa parang nag gguess ka ng word while reading it.
it takes a lot of practice para dito kaya tyagain mo lang kaya mo iyan

magpractice sa coffee shop, sa mrt - kung saan maingay - dahil iyon ang actual environment sa exam sa category na ito - sobrang iingay ng mga katabi mo - masyadong malakas maka distract kaya dapat masanay ka.
