PTE SPEAKING TIPS – QUICK TIPS USING TEMPLATES

By
PTE Protips

Hello everyone! In this post we will see PTE speaking tips. With these tips you
will be able to score 79+ easily in speaking module. I am going to explain only
on the important tips in PTE speaking module, templates and how we have to do
this task in the exam using some samples. But if you want the detailed
explanation, then please read my other posts of each task that I have posted. Ok
let us start now.


PTE SPEAKING TASKS

RA, RS, DI, RL and ASQ – These are the tasks we have in speaking module. In all
these tasks the score is calculated based on content, fluency and pronunciation.
Though the content is not much important in speaking section, it helps to score
for reading and listening sections. Therefore, concentrate more on fluency and
pronunciation and at least 50% in content.

Read Aloud – 6 to 7 questions
Repeat Sentence – 10 to 12 questions
Describe Image – 6 to 7 questions
Retell Lecture – 3 to 4 questions
Answer Short Questions – 10 to 12 questions

These are the number of questions that we get in each task and the time allowed
to complete this section is 30 to 35 minutes. With all the tips mentioned below
for PTE speaking section, you will be able to get 79. Let us start with
microphone position.

Make sure the microphone is in a position, which does not capture your breathing
noise. Something like the below image. Keep it at one inch left to your lips. It
should not near the front of your mouth and not below or above the nose. Test
your microphone by adjusting the volume and ensure that you are hearing your
voice clearly. Take as much time as possible and don’t start the test until you
are comfortable with the mic. Speak some words such as hyper, fashion, exhaust,
and make sure you are not hearing your breathing sound as it will affect your
speaking score negatively.

Microphone Position



FLUENCY AND PRONUNCIATION

To maintain the fluency and pronunciation, we should practice the below points.

Intonation, phrasing and stress should be smooth. We should raise and fall
wherever required with the proper rhythm. For long sentences, we should break
the sentence appropriately and stress on important words. No hesitations,
repetitions and false starts. Do not fumble or stop in between and don’t repeat
the words. Even if you do any mistakes that’s fine, just keep going. And start
speaking exactly after hearing the short tone, not before or after few seconds.

Pronounce the words properly. You should not eat the words. Each and every word
should be understandable clearly. Understandable to regular speakers but the
accent can be yours. Don’t try to follow the accent of native speakers, just use
your own accent. Though PTE software is intelligent enough to understand any
accent, you have to pronounce clearly. Pronounce past tense (even the words end
with ed), plurals, vowels and consonants correctly. Let us see each task in
little detail with some sample exercises.


PTE SPEAKING TIPS – READ ALOUD

You have a maximum of 40 seconds to prepare and 40 seconds to respond. During
the preparation time speak out the passage once. Don’t read in your mind because
we can speak fluently in our mind but when we speak out we may fumble. So
practice speaking outside but speak gently. Read the difficult words couple of
times and most importantly read the first phrase once or twice in the last 5
seconds. Because when we hear the beep sound we may get nervous and start
fumbling. But if we repeat something that we already spoke, we can speak
smoothly. That’s why it is better to use the last 5 seconds to read the first
phrase.

Try to complete the passage within 20 to 25 seconds because that is the ideal
speed that you can follow. And you have to follow the same speed even in DI and
RL. And don’t pause even for a second as it will affects your fluency marks.
Click the next button and the confirmation message – yes immediately once you
have completed speaking. You have to follow this in all the speaking tasks.

LET US QUICKLY SEE ONE EXAMPLE

Trump has threatened to declare China a currency manipulator, but experts say he
has little legal or economic basis to take such a step. He has also threatened
to impose a tariff of up to 45 percent on Chinese imports if Beijing doesn’t
“behave” a move that could lead to a trade war and damage the economies of both
nations.

There is a high possibility to mispronounce the highlighted ones. Therefore,
always keep in mind to practice the following in preparation time. Reading the
difficult words couple of times, know where to break the sentence i.e. giving a
little pause even if there is no punctuation, concentrate on grammar such as is,
was, articles, past tense words such as mentioned, relieved, sound of words such
as wouldn’t, would not. Pronounce as it is. Raise and fall wherever required,
don’t correct the words and keep going even if you make mistake, and finally
read the first phrase in the last 5 seconds to avoid fumbling as sometimes we
may fumble when we start speaking the first line of the passage.


PTE SPEAKING TIPS – REPEAT SENTENCE

In repeat sentence alone we have to follow the same intonation and stress
similar to speaker unlike other tasks in speaking module. Try to repeat in the
same sequence of words but don’t correct if you make any mistakes. Split the
long sentences into phrases in order to remember easily. But if you don’t
remember the phrases, try to speak whatever you heard without interruptions and
pronounce the words clearly.

You can follow any method either by closing your eyes and visualize the
sentence, or write first half of the sentence and remember the second half, or
write the first letter of each word in the notepad. Follow any of the methods,
which is comfortable to you.

Let us see some examples

Physics is a detailed study of matters and energy.
This is a small sentence. The word ‘detailed’ can be mispronounced as ‘detail’
and it will become a grammar mistake. Sometimes we may not hear the ‘ed’ part.
But even then we have to speak correctly. If you understand the meaning, you
will be able to speak without any mistakes.

Rules of breaks and lunch time vary from one company to another.
This is a medium sentence, so break it into two.

I wouldn’t like tomato and cheese sandwiches on white bread and orange juice.
This is little difficult as this is a long sentence. But don’t worry about the
content. If you don’t remember, speak whatever you heard but pronounce properly.
Here ‘orange juice’ can be merged as ‘oranguice’ unknowingly and it will be
considered as an error in pronunciation, so be careful while pronounce such
words.

You can speak like, I wouldn’t like tomato on sandwiches and orange juice. Or
you can speak, I wouldn’t like cheese and orange juice. Speak whatever you
remember. However, if you split this into phrases, you can remember easily. I
wouldn’t like as 1 phrase, tomato and cheese sandwiches as other phrase, on
white bread and orange juice as one phrase. If you split like this, you can
repeat all the words.


PTE SPEAKING TIPS – DESCRIBE IMAGE

Write the template in the textpad. In some centers, they may not allow you to
write before the exam. Therefore, try to write the template, at least the first
few words of each sentence and remember the rest. If you use the template, you
will be able to speak fluently and solidly for 35 seconds. Otherwise we may get
confused on what content we have to speak from the image, which one is
important, and whether we are able to cover all the information. So we may end
up in exceeding 40 seconds response time. So don’t speak more than what is
required.

And remember that in Describe image, content is not important. As a result,
whatever you speak, speak for around 35 seconds fluently. During the preparation
time capture the heading, 3 words, 3 numbers and 3 colours and do a quick
rehearsal along with the template. Also practice the difficult words once.

SAMPLE EXAMPLES

LIST OF STATES BY INCOME

Describe Image – States by Income

Here mention what type of image it is, whether it is a bargraph or line graph or
whatever it may be. If you don’t know what image it is, just mention it as
picture. Here the heading is ‘list of states by income’.

Words such as New Jersey, New york and Chicago and numbers such as 19000 and
17000. It’s fine even if you don’t mention exact numbers as it is difficult, but
pronounce the numbers as well properly. Like thousand not thousan. For
currencies mention as 20 million dollars instead of $20m or 20$m. Also mention
some colours from the picture. And finally heading in the conclusion which is
the essential part. Here is the sample prompt using the template.

The image in front of me looks interesting and fascinating.
Let me take a closer look and by looking closely I can see it is a bargraph.
The heading provided on top of the picture is List of States By Income.
There are some words in this picture namely New Jersey, New York and Chicago.
There are some numbers in this picture such as 19,000 and 17,000 in dollars with
some colours provided such as grey, black and yellow.
Overall it can be concluded that this image is having crucial information about
the topic, strongly supported by important facts and figures and have great
impact on Income.

And if you don’t have enough information, try to frame whatever you see in the
image and place it into the template. Let us see one sample on how to speak if
the image has less or no information.


SIMPLE CIRCUIT WITH LIGHT

Describe Image – Simple circuit with light

This is again a picture, heading is simple circuit with light. You can mention
the words as battery and bulb and since numbers are not there you can mention
the details such as arrows, lines, positive and negative. Colors are white,
black and gold and in conclusion mention the topic.

The image in front of me looks interesting and fascinating.
Let me take a closer look and by looking closely I can see it is a picture.
The heading provided on top of the picture is Simple circuit with light.
There are some words in this picture namely battery and bulb There are some
details in this picture such as arrows, lines, positive and negative with some
colours provided such as white, black and gold.
Overall it can be concluded that this image is having crucial information about
the topic, strongly supported by important facts and figures and have great
impact on light.

So this is how you have to frame quickly if you don’t see any details.


PTE SPEAKING TIPS – RETELL LECTURE

Read the instructions carefully, otherwise, you may get confused with DI task
because sometimes the re-tell lecture also comes with the image. Here also write
the template but write it in a table format so that you can use the same
template for any number of items. Don’t use any difficult words, which you are
not familiar with. Use the words which you are able to speak easily to improve
your pronunciation score. And careful about your handwriting as sometimes we may
not understand our own handwriting if we write quickly.

Don’t capture more than 5 phrases as it may exceed 40 seconds, so don’t
concentrate more on content. 4 to 5 phrases will do for gaining listening score
as well. Since we have only 10 seconds preparation time, we will not be able to
frame the structure. Therefore, write the phrases into the template during the
time when audio plays. You can use that 10 seconds time to recall the notes that
you have taken.

TEMPLATE

Conclusion: Overall, it can be concluded that this lecture is having crucial
information about the topic, strongly supported by important facts and figures
and have great impact on
.

This is how I used to write in the exam. If we write the template like a table
we can use it for all questions and take notes easily. Here I have mentioned
entire word of all phrases but we can’t write it in the notepad as it takes
time. So for long words just write the first few characters. For example, for
the words such as achievement, communities – just write only achiv, and comm,
but make sure you will be able to remember those words during your response
time.

Retell Lecture Template in erasable notepad

This is how I have written actually in the real exam. I have written the
conclusion part on the top to make sure that I have enough space if I get even 3
or 4 questions.


PTE SPEAKING TIPS – ANSWER SHORT QUESTIONS

This task is completely based on general knowledge. But this is scored for your
speaking and listening vocabulary skills. Therefore, if you don’t know the
answer, simply repeat the question because if you keep silent it will affect
your fluency marks negatively. We can find lot of questions in the internet. And
you can practice from Real PTE, PTE.Tools or any other sources.

The answer to the questions will be either one or couple of words. The questions
will be chosen like that. So don’t give any definition as it will not increase
your marks. Moreover if you have doubt on which answer is correct, provide both
the answers with a little pause in between. PTE software will pick the correct
answer and ignore the other one.

Here are some sample questions and answers for this task.
1. What is the first paragraph of an essay? – Introduction
2. What do we call the thread in the centre of the candle? – Wick
3. What are the mountains that can erupt? – Volcanoes
4. What are the people who study history and historical evidence? – Historian
5. Which symbol is used to complete a sentence? – Full stop / period
6. Where does a camel normally live? – Desert
7. A document protecting someone’s intellectual property? – Copyright
8. What is the job title for someone who makes meals in a restaurant? –
Chef/Cook
9. How many years are there in a passage of decade? – 10 years
10. What does a Sundial measure? – Time


CONCLUSION

Well that’s all I have for speaking module. In the entire speaking section,
don’t pause even for a second. Speak continuously in your response time and
click next button once you have completed speaking. Don’t concentrate much on
content. If you think about content, you may lose in fluency and pronunciation.

If you want to understand each task in detail, you can read the corresponding
posts, in which I have mentioned more about understanding the task, scoring
structure, what mistakes we commonly do, how to practice and improve ourself and
most importantly I have worked out some samples for each task, which gives you
the exam like feel. Hope this information gives some useful tips in PTE Speaking
module. Thanks for reading my posts.
