may extra tips po kayo sa describe image? para sa fluency..
Posts: 255Member

I think sa Describe Image, ang challenge dun is 'yung mabilis kang makapag-isip "how to describe" the image. Kung "fluency" ang tanong mo, just practice your English speaking skills. Read articles in English or basically practice Describe Image sample tests. Read aloud, record it and listen to yourself right after. Importante sa Describe Image is ma-describe and ma-analyze mo 'yung image, chart or graph nang malinaw, "kahit papaano". And never pause for THREE seconds.

Question din po sa desribe image. For example sa bar or pie graphs, is it important to mention all the items/categories? Or I can just mention the highest/lowest items as was advised here sa forum?
May nakikita po kasi akong samples/tips from youtube and apeuni na ine-enumerate nila lahat ng categories. Will I get lower score sa content if I don't mention ALL that is listed?

Hello @trafalgar, 90 pts ako sa PTE all areas kahit may konting mali-mali. Ang tip ko sa describe image maganda meron ka na ready-made na words for a specific type of image. Like sakin gamit na gamit ko "this is line graph depicting the change in population with respect to time. The x-axis shows the no. Of years, and the y-axis shows keme keme" yun bang meron kang prepared na script kapag ganung klaseng image ang lumabas. Saka dapat with confidence at mejo well-modulated ang buga mo para kuhang kuha ng computer at wag masyado stutter. Wag ma conscious masyado sa grammar. Mas lamang yung confident magsalita at klaro ang words.

Hi - newbie ako dito. I took IELTS last year, pero di ko nakuha ung score na gusto ko. Gusto ko kasi superior.
Sabi ng friend ko na nasa Australia na, mas madali daw PTE. Sino dito nakapag-exam both IELTS and PTE? Totoo bang mas madali ang PTE?
Sayang kasi pera sa IELTS kung uulit ako ng uulit.

I took both. Mas madali talaga ang PTE compare sa IELTS. Pero kung mapunta ka sa Australia, ok na ang PTE.

@bondatpinay I just took my exam recently and wearing of mask is still required, I suggest to use surgical mask when your taking the exam as it is more comfortable kaysa sa cloth type. Hope it helps.
