Speaking And Writing: Read Aloud.

You are presented with a written text which could be of 3 to 4 lines (varies). You have 30-40 seconds to prepare, depending on the length of the passage. Here are some tips to score full marks on this question type:

  • You have 30-40 seconds to look at the text before the microphone opens, so use this time to break the text up into meaningful chunks, using the punctuation as a guide. This will show you the places where you can make a tiny pause and alter your intonation – going up when you begin reading a chunk and falling a little when you end a chunk.
  • Use punctuation to help you decide where to pause when you read.
  • Using appropriate pausing helps you to read more fluently and give the full meaning of the text. This will improve your score.
  • You hear a short tone. After the tone, start speaking immediately. Do not start speaking before the microphone opens because your voice will not be recorded.
  • You should speak clearly. There is no need to rush.
  • Finish speaking before the progress bar reaches the end. The word “Recording” changes to “Completed”.
  • You are only able to record your response once.
  • Stress the words that carry important information
  • When you read the text, stress the words that help to convey meaning, by reading them in a slightly louder voice and adding emphasis to key syllables. Also use rising and falling intonation patterns to show how the ideas are linked or are coming to an end.
  • To make sure, you get full marks -
  • Content: Your response should include all the words in the reading text and only these words. Content is scored by counting the number of correct words in your response. Replacements insertions and omissions of words will negatively affect your score.
  • Fluency is scored by determining if your rhythm, phrasing and stress are smooth. The best responses are spoken at a constant and natural rate of speech with appropriate phrasing. Hesitations, repetitions and false starts will negatively affect your score.
  • Pronunciation is scored by determining if your speech is easily understandable to most regular speakers of the language.

Do you know your Score of Writing Skill of PTE does not depend on Writing Section only? Please note that your writing score depends on the following item types-

 

  • Writing Section: Summarizing written text
  • Writing Section: Write Essay
  • Reading Section: Reading & Writing: Fill in the blanks
  • Listening Section: Summarize spoken text
  • Listening Section: Fill in the blanks
  • Listening Section: Write from dictation

If you want good marks in the writing skill of your PTE test, you have to ace in all of these sections.

 

My advice to all pte test takers. I am sharing few tips which would help u during the exam.

 

  •  Concentrate very hard because you will be distracted by others in the exam room during the speaking session. Everybody speaks hard and loud... U cannot control that. Press headphones hard to your ears when listening and concentrate.
  • Don't underestimate writing essays. U will hardly have time to plan and type 200-300 words in 20 minutes. My advice...After reading the question, start typing immediately and have an eye on the timer.
  • The reading part is another deceiving session. U will run out of time before you realize. So practice hard.
  • Stay confident and crack the exam. Good luck

Part 1: English Speaking & Writing Test Introduction - PTE Academic
Part 1 of PTE Academic will take 77-93 minutes and will test your speaking and writing skills.

To test speaking skills, you will be assessed on your ability to produce spoken English in an academic environment.

Your writing skills will be assessed by giving written responses in academic English using correct grammar, spelling and structure.

Personal Introduction
First, you will be asked to give a personal introduction to give some information about yourself.

You will have 25 seconds to read the prompt and prepare your response. You will only have 30 seconds to record a response and can only record this once.

Don’t worry, your personal introduction is not scored but will be sent together with your score report to the institutions selected by you.

For the speaking and writing test, there are seven types of questions that you will be scored on. Below, we will break down each part of this section of the test.

Read Aloud
The first question type to test your reading and speaking skills will be the Read Aloud assessment. In this test there are 6-7 questions.

You will be shown a text prompt that will be up to 60 words. You will have 30-40 seconds to prepare by reading the passage. You will also have a set time to read aloud, which will vary by item, depending on the length of the text.

To complete the question, speak clearly and straight away after you hear a tone. You must finish speaking before the progress bar on the screen reaches the end.

You can receive a maximum of 3 points for the content spoken, maximum of 5 points for oralfluency and a maximum of 5 points for pronunciation.

Repeat Sentence
The second question type is Repeat Sentence, which will test listening and speaking skills.

You will listen to a recording between 3-9 seconds and are given 15 seconds to answer.

Once the microphone shows as recording, you will need to speak straight away and say all the words that the speaker uses, in the same order.

For this question, you can receive a maximum score of 3 for content, maximum 5 for fluency and a maximum of 5 points for pronunciation.

Describe Image
The third question type will test speaking skills by describing an image. There are 6-7 questions.

You will be shown an image and have 25 seconds to study the image and prepare your response. For this task, use the Erasable Noteboard Booklet to take short notes.

After a short tone is heard, start speaking straight away. You will have 40 seconds to answer and must finish speaking before the progress bar reaches the end.

In this question type, you can receive a maximum of 5 points for content, maximum of 5 points for  fluency and maximum of 5 points for pronunciation.

Re-tell Lecture
The fourth question type, Re-tell Lecture, will test your listening and speaking skills. There are 3-4 questions in this test.

You will be given a prompt of up to 90 seconds and will have 40 seconds to answer.

Audio will be played straight away and you may also see an image related to the audio. While you are listening use the Erasable Noteboard Booklet to take short notes.

Once the audio finishes you have 10 seconds to prepare. To complete the task, in detail, you will need to cover the situation, characters, aspects, actions and developments given in the recording.

You can receive a maximum score of 5 points on content, a maximum of 5 points on your fluency and a maximum of 5 points for pronunciation.

Answer Short Question
The fifth question type, Answer Short Question, will assess listening and speaking skills. There are 10-12 questions in this test.

Here, you will be given a prompt of 3-9 seconds and will have 10 seconds to answer the question.

You will be required to answer a short question with a clear, simple, single word or a few words. This will not test general knowledge, it will simply test your vocabulary.

You will receive 1 point per correct word. No points are given for no response or incorrect response.

Summarize Written Text
In the first question type in the writing section, you will be required to Summarize Written Text, which will test reading and writing skills.

You will read a text of up to 300 words and have 10 minutes to write your summary. You will do 2-3 of these questions depending on the combination of tasks in the given test.

In this assessment, you must write just one sentence. Try using the Erasable Noteboard Booklet to take notes of the main points.

Make sure to include the main points of the text in a full, single sentence of no more than 75 words.

You can receive a maximum score of 2 points for content, maximum 1 point for the formal requirements, a maximum of 2 points for grammar and a maximum of 2 points for vocabulary.

Essay
The last question type of the Speaking and Writing Test will test writing skills.

In this question type, you will be provided with 2-3 sentences of text prompt and have 20 minutes to answer, by writing a 200-300 word argumentative essay on a given topic.

Time management is important for this task as you will need to plan, write and proofread your essay.

In this question, there are many parts where you can receive points. You can receive a maximum of 3 points for the content, maximum of 2 points for the formal requirements and maximum 2 points for development, structure and coherence.

You can also receive a maximum score of 2 points for grammar, maximum 2 points for general linguistic range, maximum 2 points for vocabulary range and a maximum of 2 points for no spelling errors.

There is a total of 15 points that you can pick up in this question type.
