Hi ask ko lang po if sa WFD eh like may lumabas na numbers like 10minutes susulat ko ba buong ten or just a number? Thanks

ms_ane · April 2019

@jewel_34 great question. minsan may mga bagay like this na we tend to overlook and not include during our review and practice - pero very essential to note.
See below explanation. In formal writing such as WFD (or in any other question type in PTE that involves writing - pede natin i apply ang rule na ito)

****
For general academic writing, you need to write these numbers in words: all numbers under one hundred (e.g. ninety-nine) rounded numbers (e.g. four hundred, two thousand, six million) and ordinal numbers (e.g. third, twenty-fifth). Exceptions: See 3. When to use digits for numbers
Examples
 The country had been at war for twenty-five years. (number under 100)
 Over four hundred soldiers were sent to the war zone. (rounded numbers)
 The thirty-eighth battalion was sent to the war zone for the fourth time. (ordinal numbers)

****

So in WFD cases for example, write ten minutes instead of 10 minutes. Mas formal kasi in academic writing.

Hi po. Nagtataka po ako, i downloaded kasi yung app na APEUni then maiiscore ka ng AI na built in sa app, I tried it yung read aloud and nagulat ako na ang baba ng score ko. Then yung ibang nagtatry na chinese na nakita ko, kasi pwede niyo po marinig yung ibang nagamit din ng app, ang taas ng score na for me mas okay ang pagsasalita ko. Bat po ganon?

ms_ane · April 2019

@aspiringpinklover I’ll check the app para makita ko din ang score ko para I can fully understand kung ok ba yung app or not. Balikan kita hehe.

aspiringpinklover · April 2019

Thank you po

anastasia.salvador · April 2019

@aspiringpinklover I've tried that app too and 2/5 at 3/5 lang usually ang OF ko, I think it is programmed for chinese accent and some recorded answers were like robots hehe. Practice ka lang po with moderate pacing.

leij31 · April 2019

try nyo po ito https://ptetutorials.com/ dito po ako nag prapractice, may 10 free mock test din po sya na may score if dinownload nyo po app nila

aspiringpinklover · April 2019

Thank you po. Target ko po is 65 pero ayaw ko po magpakampante. And exam ko po ay may 6th.

Supersaiyan · April 2019

@Jouv refer ka po dito sa post ko, andito po template na ginamit ko: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/329106/#Comment_329106

pde din po yung template ni E2 from what @anastasia.salvador shared. Basta po keep in mind na content > than filler or template itself para po makakuha ng magandang score sa Listening.

Supersaiyan · April 2019

@aspiringpinklover tinry ko yun bago ako mag exam nung last take ko, and mababa tlga score na bigay ng AI, so I think di accurate.

brainsap · April 2019

Any tips regarding repeat sentence? Advisable ba to jot down the words or just listen to it?

robinsyreyes · April 2019

@vlademyr yep very important ang time management lalo na sa essay writing, mataas na score mo for the 1st mock exam, mine was an ave of 67 3 weeks before, then 77 3 days before the exam for the 2nd mock exam. Was able to get superior since nakapag focus ako sa weaknesses ko which is writing and speaking. During the actual exam manage your time properly para matapos mo lahat ng items, practice lang. Yung e2 language materials ang gamit ko, very effective un strategies nila so nagsubscribe ako ng silver package. Ok din yung free lectures nila.

E2 Language - Essay Writing

aspiringpinklover · April 2019

For SST ano po bang format ang dapat sundin? Kay Moni PTE Magic or yung sa e2 language po?

ms_ane · April 2019

@Supersaiyan @anastasia.salvador thank you for sharing your experiences with the app.

o @aspiringpinklover - if this is the case then wag ka na mag doubt sa ability mo - try another app and check again.

Kaya I always encourage everyone to only use legit sources para sa mg app and review materials. Wag hayaan na magkaron ng instances na mag doubt kayo sa inyong skills just because the app didnt worked on your favor. May negative impact kasi yan towards your confidence

aspiringpinklover · April 2019

Totoo po @ms_ane thank you po

RL is the most common inquiry I get from you guys - so whether you need this additional info or not - posting here nalang sa forum for everyone’s reference.

Again - ito ay options lang for you. If you feel na using the keyword strategy e works perfectly fine for you e stick with it. Just take whatever is useful from us (we just provide guidance and tips and strategies that worked for us personally and to some na graduate na din sa pte)

Ultimately - ako ang goal ko is to see you achieve your desired score (ma pa proficient or superior man yan)

****

Sa RL - I use the template for the wordings and structure ng entire response, pero instead of using just the keywords, ang effective na nag ok sakin na strategy is yung mag capture ng complete sentences within the lecture. Tapos saka ko sya I insert sa template and mention it with careful consideration sa coherency. Medyo tricky ito kasi within the 10 seconds prep, dun mo i mark sa notepad mo alin yun sasabihin mo and somehow mabilisan mo din iisipin paano sya masabi without sounding na nagbasa ka lang ng 2 sentences out of nowhere.
This takes time and with enough practice, makakasanayan mo na din.
Common question asked :
When to start writing sentences and when to stop?
- As we don’t know how long the lecture is, let alone the topic (unless nakasama sya sa mga madami mong na ipractice) - you will continue to write approx around 3-4 sentences. You cannot stop at 2, kasi baka yung ika 3rd or 4th sentence ang more relevant, in the same manner na maari din na yung first two sentences pala ang relevant pero since di naten alam ang takbo ng lecture, we will keep on taking down notes.
That being said, important to practice taking notes. I recommend replicating the erasable notepad and marker na, para saktong sakto na talaga ang practice. Mauubusan ka ng space panigurado kaya wag naman sing laki ng pa banner ang sulat

As per template
Use intro - insert Topic
Body -
Use 2 relevant sentences na na acquire
Conclusion - use generic conclusion

*Worthwhile to note na kahit gaano ka kagaling na mag English or mag compose ng sentence - you won’t be able to do it within the 40 second time limit, that is why we recommend using pre structured response (such as the template).
Maaring magaling tayo in conversing and contructing our responses ano during meetings, project presentations, conferences with our directors - but none of those limits us to respond within 40 seconds - and that is the struggle na we are trying to overcome sa RL with the use of templates. No time na tayo pairalin ang ating train of thought, no time for impromptu, no allowances given for dead air and stuttering.
